    Jandy "Alpine White" color temperature

    Does anybody know the color temperature of the "Alpine White" color from their RGB lights? This is the only color I use. I don't need RGB and one of my lights is dead. I'd like to replace it with their white 5000k light to save costs instead of RGB, but only if it will match the white setting...

    Jandy Lights

    Is there anything more reliable? I've replaced 10 in 3 years. How has there not been some type of class action against Fluidra? Pool contactor who's a friend of mine says on average he sees them last 1-2 years and replacing them keeps him in business.

    ph Dosing pump question

    I'm reviving this thread because I'm doing an install with the Flow Cell right now and am stuck. @tloomos in one of your photos that shows your entire equipment pad, I see your flow cell is connected to all 3 saddles AFTER the pump on the pressure side. Is this how it is supposed to be and it's...

    Is my Aquapure 1400 dead?

    Error 120 and 121. Cleaned cell with hose although it wasn't too bad. Lasted another week and now error 120. 37.4v between one prong and the center of cell 37.6v between the other prong and center. 77 mV when measuring the 120 m VDC points on the board. PIB also properly configured for 1400...

    Strange Error on Jandy Salt Cell

    My dads pool was low on chlorine and when he went to check the salt cell, it had some strange error on the display. When I searched online, I see error codes are numbers but as you see in the picture below they are not full numbers. The unit is 4 months old. Anybody know what these...

    Jandy ePumo relay for SWG

    I had a pool company install a Jandy ePump 2.7HP and an AquaPure PLC1400. Controlled with a IQPump WiFi controller. They connected the SWG to a relay on the ePump, but it only turns on when the pump is at 1750 RPM. I want the SWG to be on when the pump is on, and off when the pump is off. I have...

    Cleaned Jandy SWG for first time

    It's been almost 7 months since my pool was constructed and the SWG was turned on. It is a Jandy PLC1400. Pump runs 24/7. At night just at 1100 RPMs which is enough flow for the SWG. It was set to 20% output but is reduced down to 10% now that it is colder out in Florida. I cleaned it for the...

    Heat Pump Temperature Not Rising

    Just installed an Aquacal SQ166R heat pump and it's been running 9 hours and not a single degree increase in temperature. I turned it on at 3pm when outside temperature was 75 and sunny. Water temperature was 78. It's now midnight and it's still 78. Temperature over the past 9 hours slowly...

    Aquacal Condensation Drain port

    I just installed an Aquacal heater and it's producing so much water that it's flooding the equipment pad. The manual says it can produce up to 10 gallons per hour. Aquacal sells a condensation drain line kit which appears to just be a 1/4 tube connected to a barb that threads into what looks...

    Default Position for JVA Valve Actuators after Power Loss

    I was working on a heater install today and turned off the power center breaker. After turning the breaker back on, I noticed that all the valve actuators (except for the one on Aux 7, which actually turned to the open position) moved to the closed position. This caused a dead head condition...

    Jandy E-HTR Aux Port

    Before I go testing what the E-HTR port does and how it behaves when the Aqualink is in heat mode I thought I'd ask if anybody else knows how this port behaves. According to documentation there's not much besides saying it would go to a heater aux board, which could connect two heaters to...

    Do I want a hydrostatic valve?

    I was reviewing my engineering plans sent to the city and it shows a hydrostatic valve was supposed to be in the main drain. The builder either chose not to do this or forgot. I asked them to put one in and they said they never do because it leaks or ends up causing more problems than it's...

    Automation Overkill?

    I'm being told that I've gone too excessive with my automation but I'd argue I'm just creating efficiency so I can spend more time swimming and less time messing around with trying to maintain my pool. My PB sold me a "fully automated" system which in reality was far from that. Having two...

    DIY autofill plumbed to equipment pad

    In an effort to not spend the $1,200 my PB wanted to put in an auto fill, I decided to do it myself. I purchased a reduced pressure backflow preventer, tapped into my outdoor hose spigot and then plumbed it to the pressure side after the pump where my builder had the discharge valve. About 2...

    MX8 Flow Regulator

    I just purchased an MX8 and have noticed an unusual amount of suction is needed. I literally need to run my pump at max RPM and all other values closed in order for it to do 10 revolutions between 20-25 seconds. The pump also starts to get air inside the canister because of the flow restriction...

    Jandy AquaPure 1400 Salinity Level

    My user manual says to maintain salt level between 3.0 and 3.5gpl. The display on the unit is showing as 3.9gpl and app shows the same 3900 PPM. Leslie's says I have 2950 ppm. Taylor K-1766 test I did says 3000ppm. Salt test strip says 3200ppm. They all seems to be in the same ballpark but the...

    Jandy JXi400n Low Flow Shut-off

    Should the Jandy JXi400 with VersaFlo immediately shutoff once the flow gets below a certain point for protection? Heater is brand new. I fired up my heater and was adjusting the bypass valve to see where the heater would detect low flow and shutoff. I started at 100% flow through heater and...

    Spa Jets always Blowing Bubbles

    My raised spa had it's jets installed today and when I operate the spa, the jets are blowing air even with the blower off. I have a knob on the spa coping fully closed so no air comes through the Venturi system. Near the spa blower I can hear the PVC pipe sucking in air, so I assume this is how...

    iAquaLink One Touch Turn Off JVA

    I have a One Touch setup to Activate the Cleaner which bumps up the ePump RPM and opens the vacuum line JVA. At the same time I need it to close the skimmer and drain. There are only options to turn a device ON. If I set it to OFF it simply skips that device and doesn't turn the device to that...

    Did I waste money on a Jandy VersaFlo?

    Hi all, I have a JXI400 natural gas heater which I installed a VersaFlo on. Currently with all flow going to the heater, it requires the pump to operate at 2700 RPM or the low flow warning will appear. Not sure if that's a little high? I know all pool configurations are different though. The...

    Jandy iAquaLink Help/Product Info Menu

    Hello iAquaLink users, I'm having a strange issue on a RS4 and a RS8. On the iAquaLink touch interface there is a "Help" button at the bottom to display the pool contractor information. When this menu option is clicked on, it briefly shows for a split second (with no information) and then goes...

    Is this plumbing correct for Spa Spillover

    Hi all, really appreciate the help on this new pool build. The builder is claiming that the spa spillover should always be on but I'd rather not have it running all day long. I'd like to setup the iAquaLink automation for spillover mode. If I set the dip switch 3 to spillover I can operate the...
