The one thing that confuses me is "VS pump should have continuous power and not be connected through the relay." that seems to contradict the other items about the heater and salt generator being connected to the filter relay so they only have power when the filter is running. It sounds like...

I have a Jandy Aqualink RS controller with an indoor remote panel, spa side remote and iAqualink to allow remote access via a browser. My equipment consists of: * Main pump: Jandy VS PlusHP Model VSPHP270AUT * Water feature pump: Jandy Model FHPM1.5 * Heater: Jandy Model JXI400N * Salt...

I noticed a wet spot under my pump and a water trail coming from the outflow side of the pump. I'm thinking maybe it's a bad o-ring, but I haven't taken it apart yet. Is there an o-ring in there and does that seem like the probable cause of a leak here?

I got it on Amazon... Gratury Junction Box, IP67 Waterproof, 14.6" x 10.6" x 5.9" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BFPXDN8M?th=1

Thank you for all the info. When the weather gets back to normal, I'll rewire things so it has constant power, and I'll check the comm cable for issues. This helps me at least understand what the likely cause is. I'll just have to keep a close eye on it til then. The good news is that every time...

The pump is definitely connected to the load side of the relay, not the line side - it does not have continuous power. I don't think I changed that, so I thought it was how the installers set it up. Seemed to make sense to me - I thought the relay is how the controller turned the pump on and...

I have a Jandy control system and I have it running my winter schedule which keeps my VS pump running at a slow speed most of the day and then it ramps up a bit overnight. I also have freeze guard that turns the pumps on at a higher speed if the temp dips low. A couple of times in the past...

Thank you @ajw22, That was exactly the help I was looking for!!

My pool is in need of some repairs and I haven't been impressed with the work done by the last two masons I've had out, so I think I'm going to try to DIY it. Looking for any tips, recommended products, etc for performing the following repairs: 1) Some of the rocks along the backside of my...

It's been working flawlessly so far. I originally had it set with a high point of 7.5 and a hysteresis of 0.2, so it would turn on at 7.5 and off at 7.3. Now I've bumped it up to 7.7 on the high side. The chemical feeder is running when my pump is on a fairly low speed setting, so I've found...

I have the acid pump relay powered by the filter pump relay - to help ensure that the acid pump can only get power if the filter pump is running. I also have the injector on the return side before it gets to the split and valves for the pump vs the pool. Just to be safe, I changed the setup so...

In my setup, the acid Dosing pump injects after the SWG. But from the other posts it sounds like that's still a problem because it's mixing the acid with the freshly generated chlorine? I can easily set the automation so the acid pump runs when the SWG is not running if that's better/safer.

Can you explain this one? Why can't acid be added while the SWG is generating chlorine?

Thanks, that makes me feel far more comfortable with the 1/2" vent size. Based on this discussion, I'm considering whether I want to run a hose to vent away from everything or just move the bucket completely away and have a longer tube going from the bucket into the the dosing pump. The thing I...

That sounds like a good idea - Since I already have the lid ready for PVC connections, I could easily get an adapter and run a hose away from the equipment. How can I determine if the 1/2" PVC allows enough flow for proper venting?

You can tighten the range as desired, it allows it to be 0.1 to 1.0. I have it at 0.5 only because that's the default. I was planning to let it run this way for a week, then tighten it up a bit. There is also another control option they call Proportional where the dosing is based on the...

@generessler Thank you for the detailed response!!

So far, it's working out really well, but it's still very early. I'm in the "trust but verify" stage where I'm checking on it a few times a day to see what the reading is and make sure there are no error codes. Once I've seen it go up to 7.7 and return back down to 7.2 a couple times, I'll...

Thank you!!! When we had the bad storm in Feb 2022, they were doing rolling blackouts in my area and I had an issue with the seal on my filter pump lid, so I had lots of problems - ended up draining the equipment, so I learned that process by necessity. I have since invested in a generator...

This will be my first winter with a saltwater pool and looking for info on what I need to do... I'm located in the Dallas area, so I get a couple months with cold temps and probably a few weeks of below freezing weather. I don't really "close" my pool, I just change the filter to run overnight...

If it turns out I don't need the heat lamp in there, my plan is to put one of the 2" vents in that hole instead - with the summer we've had here in North Texas, the high temps might be more of a concern than the lows!

Thank you! I got confirmation from Hanna this morning that this is exactly correct! The enclosure is a Gratury junction box from Amazon. It's a very solid box. I got a Numananee box to protect the power supply for my pool cleaner, and while I love the built in water resistant vents, it's...
