Looks like great work. Can you share with us more details ? I'm very interested to try that.

Re: Jandy / Zodiac e-Pump w/ JEP standalone controller blink I'm surprised that no one here in the forum had similar issue or close to that with the pump. :(

Hi All, I have a Jandy e-Pump 1.5HP and standalone controller JEP. I was out of town for a week, and returned to see Fault error Low Voltage on the display.... I reset the breaker and now, i see that the JEP controller LCD display is showing regular stuff except after like 10 seconds, it gave a...

mas, I agree. And it probably is what i described as or maybe he actually was running at low speed and looked at the gauge....and didn't pay attention to the speed thing... I think the pump operating at high speed is too much for that plumbing. I would highly recommend to use it in limited...

The reasons to explain your situations can be: 1) plumbing valves/check valves 2) filter that is clogged from algae 3) debris on the pressure side of plumbing This is if I assume that indeed you observed lower pressure when the system was initially installed. I'm wondering if the gauge was...

I noticed that you have a 2 speed pump. What happens when you switch to slow speed. What is the pressure? What plumbing size do you have and the total run/length? e.g 2" , 50 feet? Can you take a picture of your equipment pad?

Hi everyone. I was in the process of fixing a corner of my pool and i had to drain the water 2 feet. I discovered that on the pool walls there are what looks like calcium build up. It seems like it forms and top of small hair line cracks. The guy from the pool company that plastered the pool 3...

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off if that's the case, why did they replace the pump? It would be great to hear from Pentair and Hayward variable pump users if they have similar noise issues. All those are DC motors that work with the same ramp up/down principles.

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off ha?! I had a someone from a pool dealers come in and i was about to explain to him the issue. He basically didn't need anything from me. He told me it is the bearing. Not the shaft seal. My thinking is that they use some (partially)...

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off Hey Wicked, Was your pump replaced already?

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off great. thanks so much

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off does it mean something is defective with it? i was told otherwise... maybe i should contact them again. but im almost 2 years with it... :-(

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off My pump would be running now almost 2 years. (22 months) I run it one cycle a day about 10 hours in summer time since i push it up my solar panels at about 1800 RPM. At winter timer, i was running it for couple of hours a day at very...

Re: Jandy ePump JEP1.5 making little noise when it turns off Hi Wicked, I just checked your youtube clip. You only recorded the startup and not the shutdown, yet you say it makes the same "squeal/screech" sound. For me, it make exactly same sound but only at shutdown. This is very interesting...

I believe the nozzles are 2-5 GPM, so you can calculate what the total flow is needed. As far as pump is concerned, you have plenty of power. However since you're using your main (circulation) pump, you will probably need to add a 3 way valve such that you would select your return line the...

Is the 1.5HP 2 spd pump dedicated to the deck jets? or is it the main pump that you'll be also using for the jets? my (4) jets are running of 3/4HP Jandy Pump and also a 3 feet wide water fall. I still have the capacity to add more jets, so you have plenty of power. My jets can easy make a 12-16...

It depends on the distance from your pad (pump) and the jets. It is more convenient to control the jets from the pad. I run 3/4" pipes for each jet split at the pad from 2" line. The pipe itself is so cheap ($1 for 10 feet) so since you already dig the trenches anyways, I think running 1.5" or...

Hey, I installed the 4 jets last summer. They are working fine. Just make sure you have enough water flow to satisfy the number of jets. Also, put a valve for each jet, a MUST. Be ready for some water to splash out and also upon turning off. I should take some pictures and post them here...

Hello all, I have my Jandy ePump installed since about October 2010. If i stop its operation from basically any speed, it will make a small noise. That noise is somewhat similar to the noise you get when you press on the brakes on a bike (rubber pads) The noise lasts for 1-2 seconds till it...

I bought a variable speed (Jandy ePump 1.5HP), and i love the way you can tweak the exact speed/flow that you need. I could probably do what i need with 2 speed, but it would be much harder to "hit" the exact HP that I really need. I have Solar, and suction cleaner. In california some utility...

Some localities are handing rebated for variable speed pumps. In California up to $500....

Mas985, Can you please elaborate. By "build your own"... I believe you mean that you combined wet end with some motor and impeller combination... It would be interesting to know the Watts you pump pulls at your 50 GPM with solar and 70 GPM without. It seems to me that either you have extremely...

terriolsen, If you have 10 panels and use the "general rule of thumb" at 4GPM per panel, so you need about 40 GPM. That would be about 70-80% efficiency for the panels. 1/2 HP 2 speed (I didn't know you can get 2 speed with 1/2 HP, I thought the minimum was 3/4HP) would not get you 40 GPM...

terriolsen, Since you have a 2 speed at 3/4 HP depends on the # of panels. !st story at high point is probably 15-18 feet. Say you have 10 panels at 4 GPM, I'm sure that you would be able to run 40 GPM at your high speed. At low speed I'm not sure....

Currently with my 1.5HP ultra flow that is, according to the curves, just slightly less than the whisper flow 1.5HP as far as flow rate at same head. With it, I had sometimes issues o run the suction pool cleaner when solar was on. I have a jandy valve at the pump input that selects between the...
