    iAqualink 2.0 conversion to 3.0

    Is there any feature difference between v2 and v3? (aside from better wifi support). Im assuming same app is used with all the same look and feel? Just trying to see if its worth for me to upgrade. My 2.0 works just fine from wifi/connectivity perspective.

    Cleaning a metal stain

    Folks, a quick check, was using a metal brush to clean some calcium residue off a raised beam and didn’t notice few metal bristles falling into the pool. Stayed there overnight and just like that I know have rusty metal stains where the bristles landed onto the plaster. What is the best way to...

    pool safety cover

    Im also looking to purchase a new winter/safety cover for the new pool we built. For the old pool, at the old house I had a cover I bought through pools.com, but looks like they're no longer sell them. So looking for recommendations as well. Please chime in folks.

    Connecting a heat pump to jandy aqualink RS

    Hey folks, getting the new pool going in the new house, just connected my new heat pump (Raypak), but for some reason can't get it started via aqualink RS remote. The relay fires off, but the heater won't start. Does start fine manual mode tho, so it's definitely a remote connection issue. I've...

    Faux Waterfall?

    Thanks for the feedback. How long have you had it for? Any issues with longevity?

    Jandy i-aqualink

    I think it boils down to the fact that the original iaqualink is a badly deigned, obsolete trash. After having all these issues 2 years ago and complaining to the regional rep, I finally got Jandy to replace it with then newly released iaqualink2 which has worked flawlessly to date. Zero issues...

    Faux Waterfall?

    I saw a review with pics sometime back someone did on one of their waterfalls installed on the above ground pool with deck. IIRC, the owners were pretty happy with it and it looked nice. For the life of me though I cant remember where I saw that review. I'm actually again considering them as...

    Heat pump sizing for small temp increase

    I agree 100%. I think it's worth every penny, now as I have it. Just the point that you don't have to be reliant on the weather and be in control of your fun is everything. I tend to open my pool early as well (late April, early May) and typically I'd be waiting for at least several weeks for...

    Heat pump sizing for small temp increase

    So yesterday installed my new heat pump (Raypak, 117k BTU). Took me all day to get all the plumbing and electrical done, but, man, what a difference already. In less then 24 hours I have 9 degree temp rise. Having an auto cover to minimize the heat loss Ofcourse helps quiet a bit. Kids and wife...

    Jandy watercolor a LED light stopped working.

    Thanks Tim, is there a bulb in these LED lights? I thought these had a board with led's on it which they call a light processor or something like that.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I happily went to the...gasp...Pool Store

    I will never forget when a lady in the pool store tried to sell me their "signature" alkalinity up product for nearly $30, which was just a nicely branded bag of a baking soda. Same arm&hammer one that's in Costco for $7. I suppose that's business and the American way, so can't really blame the...

    Hi folks, So I have two large Jandy water colors led lights in my pool, both were install as part of the build less 2 summers ago. So, as I opened my pool this week, I go to test the lights and immidialaty upon turning them on, the breaker trips (the lights are on their own GFCI breaker, only...

    Heat pump sizing for small temp increase

    Thanks for all the feedback Lou. I pulled the trigger on the raypak 117k btu yesterday. It was a touch choice between that one and a Hayward heat pro, as both got great reviews, but I got two friends with the same unit and they love it. Also talked to a HVAC tech buddy I have and he recommended...

    Electric heat pump is the winner !! Now which one and what size .....

    Thanks fatcat, the inyopool was definitely the cheapest I found. I pulled the trigger on the raypak 117k btu yesterday. It was a tough choice between that one and a Hayward heat pro, but I got two friends with the same unit and they love it. Also talked to a HVAC tech buddy I have and he...

    Aqualink RS6 with iAqualink 2.0 and OneTouch

    As stated above Its definitely possible as i have both OneTouch and iAqualink2.0 running with my AqualinkRS. I didn't install the OneTouch myself as it was done by the builder since I've purchased it as part of my package. But I did add iAqualink myself and it wasn't hard (except the fact that I...

    Heat pump sizing for small temp increase

    That's not bad at all. But... $1300, holly ****. I was initially considering going gas, but the fact that I only need heat from a very supplemental perspective, few degrees here and there, made me sway towards the heat pump. Not to mention, huge cost to run up NG to my pool, including upgrading...

    Heat pump sizing for small temp increase

    Folks, please bear with me for a second here, I know its just about another thread about heat pump sizing.... Here's my dilemma. Because I have autocover and keep the pool covered between uses im typically able to keep the temps up well throughout the summer. Pretty much always above 80 all the...

    Correct breaker box for heat pump.

    Very true. One of the reasons I love this forum, is that for the most part discussions are serious, mature and on point, as you don't have some 17 year old trying to flame you for asking a question as on some of the other forums I post on. Thank you again for the information.

    Correct breaker box for heat pump.

    Thank you for the detailed insight Dan. I should just shut up and stop trying to make sense of this and dig into NEC. One thing i'll tell you, I have an old 60amp run that I did over 10 years ago using conduited romex and it has no issues, that was the sub panel the pool electrical was run from...

    Correct breaker box for heat pump.

    I certainly agree Jason. Really, just trying to see what the actual difference is between the cables. Strictly from amp load and derating perspective I think im ok. Total half length is around 120' with amp load spec on the heater im looking at is 42amp. So, im digging into NEC... senction...

    Correct breaker box for heat pump.

    Hey Dan, so... quite obviously I don't know this as well as I thought I did.... Need to hit the books again. Smh. Yes I'm still planning to ground the box to the existing ground rod that was driven for the pool equipment electrical. The structure the sub panel is mounted on is a detached pool...

    Correct breaker box for heat pump.

    Thanks for the explanation Greg. Learned something new today, I had no idea about the heat rating. As far as inspection, I'm doing the pump install, including the service run myself, so no worries there. And Matt, you just jogged my memory about the inspection as well... The electrical to my...
