    AquaCal heater update - HP9

    It’s a 2 wire. If you have the same heater that I do, then have you upgraded the electrical board in the heater? It has to have the HP9 kit installed. If not, then it will not be able to switch back and forth remotely without putting in codes at the heater. The support team from aquacal was...

    AquaCal heater update - HP9

    Yes, got it to work. When you want to heat, go into the jandy aqua link and push temp to desired temp above what you currently have, probably at least 5 degrees above. If you want to cool, go into iaqua link and drop the chiller temp about 5 degrees below and click the heat pump button on. It...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    Thanks for the advise in using the liquid chlorine and stirring the pool water. Having had our pool for the past couple of years, we have been using the TFP method and our pool chemistries have been great. Just worried about it getting out of whack now. Thanks.

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    Thanks. Just found the paperwork and it looks like it is still under warranty. I will ask the pool company who installed it to see if they can replace the pump. I wonder do they normally just replace the whole pump that day or will they try to fix it and I will be without a pump to circulate...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    I did a little more diagnostics and although I was getting power to the pump, it seems like the computer board (capacitor) is not allowing power to go through it, which makes me believe the power is not going to motor itself. So it looks like something may be faulty with the capacitor unless...

    jandy Pump not running and aquacal heater board upgrade not working

    I tried to operate pump separate from aqua link and still nothing (no humming or signs of trying to turn on). I tested the pump leads to see if the pump is getting power with my meter and the pump is getting power. I turned off the disconnect breaker at the subpanel to turn off all power to the...

    Surge protector for pool equipment

    If I connect the intermatic PS3000 to the 80Amp main disconnect breaker in the pool sub panel, would that provide me with enough coverage if I did get an electrical surge until I have enough time to add a larger sub panel box?

    Surge protector for pool equipment

    Thanks! No, I do not have any available breaker slots left in the pool sub panel. The surge protectors listed in the document you sent seems to be whole house surge protectors versus if I just want to have a surge protector that is only for the pool equipment. Any recommendations? I have...

    How to Best cool down pool with a heat pump? Cover on or off?

    This makes sense thanks. So should I leave the autocover on without pump circulating or autocover off without pump circulating during the day in the sun to have it the coolest?

    Do anyone know if there are caps to go over inground anchors that are used around the pool for the winter covers? I have a travertine paver deck.

    Safety cover or Autocover for winter

    Thanks for the advice. I spoke to the auto cover people and they said I didn’t need to have a safety cover.

    Light Breaker keeps tripping causing pump to not run

    This subpanel has only 8 slots. The heater, main disconnect, and water pump are double pole breakers, which then only left 2 free slots. The electrician did say they had issues before when autocover shared breaker with lights, hopefully this will solve issue. Cross your fingers!

    Light Breaker keeps tripping causing pump to not run

    The electricians came and placed the heater, water pump, and auto cover on separate breakers. The lights/outlets and automation system share one gfci breaker. They would have placed the lights/outlets on a different breaker from the automation system, but there were no more slots available in...

    Light Breaker keeps tripping causing pump to not run

    Chris, Thanks for the helpful info. I did a quick troubleshoot by turning all breakers off at the sub panel, then turned each one on one by one, and noticed that the light/ auto cover breaker also controls the iaqualink automation to come on. This may explains why when that breaker trips, even...
