Hey barnnns1, I looked at the mx8 because of my pool being so small but I only have one skimmer and no dedicated suction line so I envy you. I'm considering going way down on my RPM's like you but I need a flow meter first to know if I'm getting turnover. My pump consumes only 29 watts at 800...

Hey Jim, I grew up using a rotary phone :rolleyes: but your analogy isn't quite correct. Those "DC" cleaners(it's a misnomer as it still uses AC) aren't energy efficient at all. They are very inefficient as far as power consumption goes. Even though it's powered by DC internally it has a...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Do any of you folks know how many AC watts this unit consumes? I called the Maytronics but the nice lady didn't have the wattage information. If someone has a Kill A Watt meter I'd greatly appreciate it if they could share the wattage...

Hello Everyone, I have a Jandy Epump 2.2 HP pump on my 13x26 gunite pool which I'm running at 1400 rpm while consuming 141 watts for approximately 8 hours a day. I have several cycles where I've programmed the pump to ramp up to 2250 for several minutes in order to do a surface skim. I'm...

Signed a contract on a pool with spa but now the builder is thinking about the hydraulic setup. Current spa setup: 7x6 spa 6 Jets on two seat = 12 jets 2 jets on two other seats = 4 16 Jets total Jandy PS 6 3 additional actuators 1 Jandy 2.0 epump 1 Jandy 2.0 water feature pump 1 2HP blower...

I've thought and thought about this for some time, especially with the way things are going in regards to the lack of information I'm getting. I'm getting a really solid deal on financing and I have other things that I'll need to finance which trump a pool. If I don't build the pool now I'll...

If the jets are properly installed would a blower increase the action? Are you saying that you never install blowers because it's not essential if your venting is near the spa or that you always vent near the spa? They'll definitely run the air line to the pad. I've already seen a model home...

I was given two options of PB's that I can use but otherwise I'd have to wait until the home was finished and finance it separately. I was told by that I'd be giving up at least $6,000 extra just to go through the HB's PB's. So If I want to keep my current system and it's aux circuits I add...

Hey poolkid, It's a bit perplexing how they don't actually educate you on what you're getting while you're paying 5 figures for a pool :confused:. I'm waiting to know the exact model numbers of everything but the quote just says PDA 6. Their Jandy brochure shows this PDA unit which is white and...

Good point ozdiver, I thought that actuators actually allowed you to open and close them to positions not just open and close. This setup here looks quite extensive but there are some valves that are still manual. Every setup that I've seen with multiple actuators still has some manual valves...

I'm building a pool and spa but I have a ton of questions. I really like the concept of actuators and automation. The PB will be installing a Jandy PDA 6 and an extra actuator(so I'm told). I'd like to install actuators on all of the valves frankly but is this overkill or nonsensical? I know I...

Hello Everyone, I'm currently in the last steps of signing a contract for a pool and spa for a new home. I have been doing some research and I've decided to go with 16 jets in my spa: 6 Jets(3 rows and 2 columns) for a "King Seat" 6 Jets(3 rows and 2 columns) for a "Queen Seat" 2 Jets(1 row...
