controller

This is my first post, but a long time reader and lurker. I wanted to replace my controller on my HotSpring Spa since it had finally gave out after almost 20 years of service and getting a new IQ2020 controller is just to expensive for what it does and the lack of any kind of integrations or...

Hello, Since last week my pool will keep running until I cut the power. I can't turn it off with either the outdoor control panel (ex putting it in service mode) or the indoor control. Schedules also do not work. Only thing that happens when pressing filter pump in service mode is that the pool...

In the 2 years of owning this pool, last week was the first time the water was not perfect, and I had issues with algae in corners. Most of this was contributed to hurricane Beryl (no power for a week and too much rain), but also due to CYA being well over 100ppm. I'm not a fan of pumping up...

Hello TFP. I'm currently using a zone on my sprinkler system to maintain my pool levels. It works based on a schedule and rainfall, which somewhat helps but is not always accurate and in the colder months, has actually resulted in some unexpected water loss. Today, I have all this Jandy...

Hello everyone, Got some good news- my company is now a dealer for the Attendant units by Poolside Tech. I've been learning A TON about chemical controllers/automation units for the past six months. I'm on the commercial side of things, but I'd be interested to hear what you prefer to use. In...

Hello TFP, I recently had a company install new pool lights, the main one in my pool and the spa light that recently went out. Upon first arrival and inspection by the company, they stated the pool relay was terrible and needed to change the relay before changing the light. They did this, and...

Earlier this year I bought a Black & Decker 3HP VSP on poolpartstogo.com and have just finished its integration with the pool. The pump is quiet and energy efficient. Here are some numbers: 2200 RPM (priming only) - 2.2A, 530W 1800 RPM (cleaning and/or intensive skimming) - 1.3A, 310W...

I currently have a DIY solar system that works sweet all except for it being manually controlled & far too often I forget to turn it off & on (last night lost all heat gain from 2 days prior - ugh). So I'm wanting to add an actuator to my Jandy 3-way valve and a solar controller. I'm thinking...

EDIT [Source Code]: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0feg94ucntjhgi/AACU6vqU088z4NSxl2gSLIFga?dl=0 TLDR: I've been thinking about the relationship between GPM and solar heat delivered to the pool and believe it to be more nuanced than the efficiency chart we've all seen. I put together a little...

Hi, I have a Pentair PL4 and Pentair Ultratemp Heat Pump. The controller works fine with all features (cleaner, lights, high speed, low speed), and the settings in the ScreenLogic app reflect the settings on the controller. However, the Ultratemp won't change from 70 degrees, no matter what the...

Has anyone successfully gotten the iAquaLink 3.0 Controller to read and change the pump speed of a Pentair Superflo VST pump?

I'm in the process of selecting a pool/spa controller. I'm leaning towards the Pentair EasyTouch PSL4 controller however it says it controls 3 color lights. Does that mean 3 physical lights or 3 light areas? For example I'm running globrites and my pool has 2 lights, the baja shelf has 1, and...

Learning more about my pool every day this month. I'm currently in the middle of a SLAM. However, going on vacation next week. As I read more on TFP I realize the TFP method requires daily addition of Chlorine. I travel a lot and need something more automated or at least remotely operable. Is...

Hi, our in ground hot tub has this busted controller that is recessed into the ground. It’s never worked since we purchased the home. Most likely it’s 18-20 years old now. Is this a part that can be replaced? If so, where can I find it and what’s it called? Also, the inside of the pipe it sits...

Hello All, Symptom is a temp sensor shorted message with temp showing 231. Sensor is 12K Ohms disconnected at the board and not shorted to ground. I left the wires off and powered up. The message is open sensor? When I reconnected and powered up, it showed normal temp for 10-15 seconds...

My new pool includes a Jandy PDA controller and a Jandy variable speed pump. From what I can see Jandy is decent manufacturer, however they do not sell to the public only "pool" contractors. My concern is I want to add a solar heating system and I paid for the upgraded PDA controller and pump...
