    Surge Protection

    It's because it's a 120V outlet which is daisy chained to the same circuit as the Pool Pump. I use that outlet to power a Stenner peristaltic pump and I want to make sure that the Stenner pump only works when the Pool Pump is powered. I connected the neutral of that outlet to the Load Neutral of...

    Surge Protection

    I am done! I need to do more work on the Surge Protector - shorten the wires and move it closer to the panel, but it was getting dark. I tried to attach the surge protector directly to the panel but the 2 rows of knockout slots are too close to each other. Thank you all for the fast answers to...

    Surge Protection

    OK - so: The 2 Hot wires go to Relay 1, Lines 1 and 2 The VSP wires go to Relay 1, Lines 1 and 2 (this way I can skip the Wing Nut) The jumpers go from Relay 1, Load 1 and 2 to Relay 2, Line 1 and 2 I

    Surge Protection

    Thanks for your patience with me! I think I understand what you are saying. Basically, in the same way Phase 2 is on the load side of Relay 1, Phase 1 should be on the load side of Relay 1 as well, so that Phase 1 on Relay 2 is only hot when the pump is on. The issue with the current wiring is...

    Surge Protection

    @Ahultin - I think the current wiring might be OK. Attached is a picture from the installation manual. They show to connect it directly to the breaker. The doc also says "NOTE: When power alone is supplied to this pump, it will not operate. It requires a digital command sent to it by either a...

    Surge Protection

    OK - the inventory is complete - to be safe, I traced wires from both the line and the load sides. The 2-pole 20AMP breaker is serving: The Red wing-nut which is connected to: The Pool Pump Line 1 The Pool Pump relay LINE 1 The Blue wing-nut which is connected to: The Pool Pump Line 2 The...

    Surge Protection

    Thank you all - that's great insights! My plan is the following: - Analyze the wiring - Relocate the existing double pole breaker to bottom left, and repurpose it for the surge protector - Install the new GFCI breaker above it, to the top left - Add a dedicated breaker to the top right side, for...

    Surge Protection

    Thank you @Turbo1Ton, @ajw22 and WOW @Ahultin - that's one clean install! My picture looks like a hot mess in comparison. I took another look at my panel and realized that the cabling goes through a GFCI Outlet attached to the side (you can see it on the right of my picture). I therefore have...

    Surge Protection

    Thanks - I will test for space. It seems to me that the GFCI will overlap with the Neutral bar if installed in the left side, hence the installation on the right side, but I will check and post a picture when done!

    Surge Protection

    I bought the one below. I have not received it yet. Some reviewers say it takes more space than a standard breaker. I might therefore put it on the right side and move most breakers (except the 2 x 15A) to the right side. 20 AMP GFCI

    Surge Protection

    Thanks a lot - so I just need a double breaker installed on the right side? Should I move the PCB breaker above it? Could I actually buy a GFCI CB, use it for the pump, and "recycle" the existing breaker for surge protection? I looked up GFCI breakers - something like this? GFCI 20AMP dual pole

    Surge Protection

    When I bought my house a few years back, the pool panel had a Type 2 Intermatic surge protector installed (model IG1240RC3). I bought a new one a few years ago when the 1st one failed, and I replicated the same installation, but I am not sure the 1st one was installed correctly. Instead of being...

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    OK - I ended up biting the bullet and buying a new PCB. I asked Bob P. whether he would take a look at the old one

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    hi Herman - unfortunately, I know that when it happens, everything is activated. I turned off 2 actuators and my chlorinating pump, because if the issue was happening when I was not at home, it would add way too much chlorine, or empty the spa. I just tested it right now, and after the system...

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    Here is what I did today around 11:30am. First, I removed the coin battery and pressed reset -- it did not seem to do much (all LED lights were red before and after the reset). I then switched off the breaker and used CRC electronic cleaner on each of the connectors and made sure they were...

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    OK - the plans could not be tested this week-end because we had overcast weather. For the past several days, I was out of town and all LED lights were on. This evening (temperature was cool), I noticed that the pool light was not on. I went to the panel and shut down the breakers. I waited 5...

    Thanks Allen! Lots of good ideas - I will prepare a test plan for the weekend.

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    hi Herman - sorry - did not see your suggestion until now. I will try your idea as well. I can also try to stop the pump from 11am to 2pm to avoid the "heat" hour.

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    Thank you Gene! Will try. The issue happened again today despite the temperature sensor connector (the long green connector) being disconnected. Will try the above over the week-end and will report back.

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    hi Herman - thanks for the info. I actually do not know the answer but I assume it was tested by Bob before shipping back, and it did work like a charm for 30 days. At Bob's advice, I cleared the memory on my system and re-entered the settings. This action did not help. I did not do the reset on...

    My Jandy system goes wild around 12pm on sunny days

    Hello, I recently got my Jandy iAqualink PCB repaired by <name deleted> because all my temperature sensors were showing open on my Jandy controller, when the sensors were actually working fine. Bob fixed the PCB and all went back to normal, until just before Christmas when I saw the water in the...

    Air, Water and Solar Temp Open on Jandy RS8

    I just got my board back from Bob at BP Engineering. The issue is resolved - no sensor issue any more. My advice = the board comes back completely reset, so take a picture/copy of your settings before sending it.

    Jandy PCB 8124A with Jandy VS Flopro

    I have an old PCB 8124A (Assembly 8125G) which I wanted to keep as backup when my new iAqualink PCB needs to be fixed (this way I can keep my pump running). I have a Jandy VS Flopro with no display - aka the pump can only be programmed via the App or via my Jandy One Touch. Can the older PCB...
