Thank You. I replaced the fuse and the unit seems to have normal power and everything is working except for the solar valve actuator I previously mentioned. There is no burnt smell around the Solar valve actuator, I took the top off and everything looks brand new. It should look new, it is...

Well I have went and done it this time! I have a Jandy Aqualink RS 8 controller with an Aqualink RS Power Center My 2 year old Compupool CVA-24 valve was not opening when Solar was activated. It worked fine all last year. I watched the valve, no movement. I switched the toggle switch on the...

Update: I went ahead and installed a new tri-sensor to get rid of my no-flow problem on my Jandy 1400. This new tri-sensor has the little daughter board on it. It came with wiring adapters to use with new or older units. My unit is 10 years old. Good news, the unit has been working for...

No Borax, I want to try it buy my wife likes the water the way it is LOL! I keep the CYA at about 70-80. This keeps the sun from buring off so much chlorine and allows the SWG to easily keep up (I have a big pool 20 x 40 feet) With the salt water pool I also keep the chlorine leves...

When I bought my new (used) house with a pool and spa, I had a pool service check out the pool and spa. Spa light and one pool light was out and had him change them. Worked well for a few months, and then both the pool and spa lights would come off and on when in use. After a few months of...

I have had a SWG for 3 years and the PH does creep up a bit, I might add 1-2 gallons a week in the middle of summer during heavy use. Very little during the winter months when the pool is not in use (still have water in it and I maintain chemicals for most part). So I do buy 4 gallons of...

Put in a new 3 port cell with sensor on my pool in 2011. Well I am getting error codes this week that points to a bad tri-sensor. Cell has worked great for almost 2 years. Question: The new tri-sensors I see on line show some kind of daughter board, are these better/last longer than older...

Yep, that is it. Under a hundred bux, I am tickled pink!

I totally believe you. I could hear what sounded like a blower come on, but did not see the windings spinning. Thank you so much. And you are right about the touchpad, the plastic protective coating just fell off as I was pushing buttons on the touchpad. Not sure if they make a new stick on...

Here is a link to a short video, you can see the blower electric motor not turning, green Pool On lite on, red Heater Lite on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9QfTLUa3pE&feature=youtu.be charlie.

OK, I did take a video on my phone, I will post it on youtube tonight after work. I did not start the video until just after it fired. But here is what I did. Using my in house RS6 control, I started the SPA. Waited a minute, then from in the house started the SPA Heater from the RS6. I...

I am talking about the combustion blower/fan with the heater. It has the gas line plumbed on one side of it for blowing gas into the unit. Everything I read in the manual or here says it should be running and it is not. The heater fires right up (no fan) and sounds like a normal furnace...

Update Feb 11,2013 So I got the new transformer and when I bench tested it, it turns out I checked the voltage for DC not for 24vac. So my old transformer was not bad. OOPS! So I continued through the troubleshooting guide. It said to jumper the firemans switch and then press either the...

Update: I spent the day working through the troubleshooting diagrams. Assuming there was a reason my green spa light was not on, the trouble shooting chart led me to check the 24 volt transformer that provides voltage to the control board. I found 120v into the transformer no voltage (should...

My Starite SR400NA heater is 10 years old. I bought the house 2 years ago and it has worked flawlessly until just recently. The heater is controlled from my Jandy Cabinet by an Aqualink RS-6. The heater did act up a couple of times before it completely quit responding. On New Years, it was...

I finally bit the bullet and had solar panels installed last week. My 10 year old Starite 1.67 HP pump was starting to give up the ghost (it would not start some times) so I went ahead and had a variable speed pump installed with the solar panels. I wanted my older Jandy RS6 pool controls to...

OOPS! Your are right, I was groggy last night. Edited my post. So running the pump on high with the solar engaged is to get max heat in the pool, which is what I want. Running the filter pump in the winter on low should save me some money. But on the other hand the whisperflo does seem to...

My ten year old pump is giving up the ghost so time to upgrade. Tried a few things to get keep it going, here is the thread: filter-pump-electric-motor-problems-t42330.html So my filter pump is still limping along, but looking to upgrade. I am thinking two speed for sure, maybe a new...

Well, I pulled the pump/motor, took the electrical motor apart, cleaned it up a bit. Bearings looked good, well lubed. Put it back together and installed it with a "hard start capacitor". No change. Sometimes the motor starts, sometimes it just bumps, etc. After a couple of cylces of the...

I did see that manual and it does not show a centrifugal start switch (switch less?). Even though my pump motor is 10 years old, is looks to be like the one in the manual. A buddy of mine who does HVAC for a living came by today and gave me a "solid state relay and hard start capacitor" made...

I did remove the pump/motor and had it bench tested at the local pool supply house. There was nothing in the impeller to speak of. Pump does not making any unusual noises. I can always turn the motor over by hand at the back of it. And yes, sometimes the motor will only run for 30 seconds to...

Newsflash: I am a moron. When checking voltage between the red and black wire, I forgot to set my ohm meter to a higher setting, it would not read 230 volts when set to the 200 v setting. It hit me last night laying in bed LOL! So I ran out this morning, turned on the pump (it started first...

Well the pump has been running this way for 10 years. I have owned the house for 2 years and it started acting up about a week ago. Even tonight, if I fiddled with the breakers, rolled the pump motor by hand one way or the other, the motor would eventually start and run for a while. While it...

Well the voltage between the black and red wires is zero, not 240 volts as you suggested. I checked the voltage between the black and red wires coming in to the circuit panel (from the main house box) and the voltage between red and black are zero. So what does that mean? Charlie.

quote] Yes, between each terminal and ground. I will check voltages between the black and red wire tonight. Thanks. Charlie.

I have an A.O. Smith type cx FR.y56y 1.0 HP motor on my sta-rite filter pump giving me problems. I notice the pump was not running. So I shut off the timers, cylced the breakers, pump motor still did not start. I have a Jandy service panel that controls all the switches/breakers for my...

Glad to see you got it working. I do not know for exactly how long the cell reversing cycle is, but I would not worry about it. I run my pump/swg for 3 hours at midnight and two hours in the morning with the cleaner running too. I think the cell spends a pre-set time each hour or two hours in...

No special precautions. Just make sure the power is off. If I remember right, there was a slightly different color scheme on the wiring on the new sensor as compared to my old sensor. I found a post on this board that explained it and I think the instructions covered it also. If you have a...

It sounds like you already have the troubleshooting guide. I think these reading are close enough. My front board tested similiar on my older Jandy 1400. When my tri-sensor was failing, I got pretty much the same symptoms you are having. With no flow detection from the sensor, basically no...

My Swg bubbles like crazy when it generating chlorine.
