Ahhh, thanks guys. Now I understand. Think I have a plan B. My blower has been dead for years and we never really use it anyways. I’m going to repurpose that output/relay and, if I decide down the road that I want a blower, I’ll address it then. Thank you all for being a tremendous and helpful...

Jim, yes, AUX 5 is labeled “High Speed” and puts the pump speed up. I use this occasionally to bump up the circulation, but if there is a smarter way to control it, I’d be happy to repurpose that relay for the light. Would that be a possibility?

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I’m having trouble figuring out how the diagram maps to the wires in the other picture. Based on the wires, it looks like all the AUX ports have wires coming from them. On my controller, they look unassigned. Based on the picture, can you tell if these...

Hi TFP friends. I’m in the midst on a pool renovation (tile and plaster) and am repurposing a vacuum line that I don’t use for a nicheless light. I’m trying to figure out if I have an available AUX line to connect the new light to, because it is a different brand and has a different sequence...

I’d like to add some light to my pool and figured out that I have a vacuum line to the pool that I no longer use and never will. (Have robot). It’s in a near perfect location to add some light to the pool and the plumbing is already disconnected from the suction line. I’ve seen nicheless lights...

Hi all. I’d like to have the ability to control my pool and spa via the internet. For instance, on way home and want to start spa heating. I’ve included pictures of the existing control equipment. Hoping you can help me determine if this is possible and what product(s) I would need to purchase...

Great tip indeed! I will try this. Thank you all for the help!

Confirmed that automation is Pentair Easy Touch. The Raypak Heater is a propane R406A-EP-C. I cannot raise the temp above the 104 top limit on the Raypak control panel.

I'm 95% certain it is a Pentair Easy Touch. As the spa is getting cooler, the Pentair control confirms that the temperature is decreasing. The spa could be set to 104, but the water temp is only reading 101 and the heater is not producing heat. At this same time, the RayPak heater's display on...

I bought the house a few months ago so I don't have all the details of the pool and equipment, which were all pre-existing. It is a gunnite pool with attached spa, which is approximately 28k gallons combined. The automation is Pentair. It has a Pentair variable speed pump and DE filter. The...

The pool is controlled by automation. The water temperature readings are in agreement as it is warming up. However, once it achieves the set temperature is when the delta grows. As you can imagine, it's pretty annoying when you get into it nice and hot, but the heat shuts off and water cools...

Hi all. I have a Raypak propane heater on my attached spa. I don't know the exact age of the heater as we bought the house this summer. I suspect it is 4+ years old, but only guessing. This issue I have is when I heat up the spa, it comes up to temperature nicely, but once it reaches the desired...

No easement issue. House was built in 98 and appears to have always had NG. The line into the house is no more than 20’ from either the heater or the above ground propane tanks. My RE agent is continuing to ask the seller the reasoning for the set up. It’s not a deal breaker, but I’d hate to...

Hello. I am buying a home in South New Jersey that has an inground pool with built-in spa. The house has a natural gas line run to it for heating and other appliances, but it ALSO has two large above ground propane tanks that run the pool/spa heater. I’m trying to understand the logic in having...

Mine are the colored ones, and yes I use them every day for several hours.

I’ve had my Jandy nichless lights replaced almost every 4 months since I bought them two years ago. Fortunately, they have been very good about the replacement process. When I had some replaced this summer, the company that has been installing them said that Jandy was field testing a new version...

I have been having the same issue for months. Called Jandy a bunch of times. No luck. Even had them replace the iaqualink antenna. Didn’t help. I am convinced it’s a software issue on their end and I hope they figure it out soon. Very annoying. FWIW, I’m using the app on an iPhone X. What device...

There's no way to go directly from one color to another. However, I did find a solution to the cycling every time they turn on. It was really bothering me and I also had the feeling that switching on/off so many times was causing unnecessary wear. The way I solved it was by changing the light...

Raypak offers a version of the 8450 that has heating and cooling. It's the Raypak 8450ti-E-HC. -Chad

I live in south Florida and have a 15k pool & spa. I added the Raypak 8450 almost two years ago and am extremely happy with it. Great pick. -Chad

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to get calcium buildup off of glass tiles that run along a spa with waterfall flow over into the pool? The tiles are smooth and glossy, so I am concerned about using a pumice stone or anything too abrasive. I don’t want to end up with a bunch of fine...

I have been having this exact same issue for several months now. The folks at Jandy have been helpful but have not yet solved my problem. I am having a company come out next week to work on it. I'll report back. It's not a wi-fi issue, from what I can tell, because the signal strength at the...

When I first got the advice "buy the biggest heat pump you can afford" I thought that sounded really flip and possibly misinformed. However, what I've learned over time is you really can't go wrong going larger with a heat pump. It comes down to how long the heater will need to run to get you...

I agree. Another creative option I've seen to avoid having the autofill pot and cover in your pool deck is to run the PVC fill line over to somewhere near your equipment pad or other less obtrusive location, and locate the whole assembly there. As long as the run is unobstructed and the mounting...

Are these the Jandy nicheless lights? If so, it's a very common problem. The blue color stops working properly and throws off any color that has a mix of blue in it. Jandy has been very good about replacing them, but I've gone through at least 5 sets in less than two years. My understanding is...

Figured it out. Had to recycle my router and it came back online. Alls well. - - - Updated - - - It came up when I opened the app on my iPhone.

My iAqualink automation has been showing offline for the last couple days. I saw a maintenance notice today that said it would be back up by noon or so eastern but it’s 6pm and still down. Nothing has changed with my WiFi or set up otherwise. Just wondering if anyone else still having trouble as...

Success! Found that dip switch 3 was down. Put it up and spillover option apppeared. Adjusted the cam in the return JVA and had to reverse the plugs because they were backward (intake vs return.) It’s perfect now! Thank you!!! -Chad

That makes a lot of sense! I’m looking all over for a spillover mode in iAquaLink but can’t seem to find it. Can anyone suggest where this setting might be located? It’s driving me nuts.

Thanks Jim. The smart JVA looks like a viable option. Dodger, the waterfall is a spa spillover. Not independent feature.
