valve actuator

Hey everyone! I’m in the process of setting up remote control for 7 valve actuators on my pool system. I’ve done quite a bit of research and landed on the idea of using Sonoff 4CH PRO R3 smart relays to achieve this, but I’m looking for feedback from those with more experience to see if this is...

I have added the automated bypass to my master temp and intellitouch controlled Pentair system. While everything works well when heat is called for: ie the bypass valve activates and starts allowing water to flow to the heater before the heater starts, when the temp is reached or the...

BACKGROUND: Hi. I've maintained my own 21k gallon gunite pool the past 10 years. My pool was built in 1998 and has several issues related to siphoning. You can't stop the pump for any amount of time as it is in a pump house which is a little below the water line of the 1100g spa and quite a bit...

Hi, I tried searching around but couldn't find any information about this, but I have a hard time believing I'm the first one with this problem so I probably missed something. I have a feature pump that runs a slide and a 10' wide sheer decent. I just put an actuator on the valve that controls...

Hi all. I have an iAqualink RS4 system and I was wondering if it's possible to wire a second JVA in parallel with an existing one so they both activate together. I have a couple instances where I would like to use this: Close spa footwell return during spa mode / open during pool mode. Actuator...

My Solar Touch Valve Actuator Stopped working in the on position. After reviewing prior threads I changed both micro switches. I did find 1 was bad. This did not solve my issue. I have only been able to get the Valve Actuator to turn on but not off? So Im thinking the valve actuator capacitor...

Hi all - brand new pool owner, so go easy on me... We have a CoverPools cover and a Jandy/iAqualink control setup. We have the Jandy-CoverPools module set up so that we can have automatic disabling of features that would floor the cover when it's closed... We now have a shutoff via a...

The pool company is finishing up my equipment installation and I want to be sure they install actuators on all of the valves that they should. I went with the RS8 so I can manually go to the pool equipment as little as possible. Can you please help me understand what valves should get actuators...

Hello to all. Looking for some help. Had recent repair of broken return pipe to spa under deck. Repair (seems) fine. No longer loosing water from pool/spa. However, spa will not hold water when pump turned off, pretty rapidly leveling out with pool. Happened a few years back, and a quick...

Hey there! I'm in Tucson, AZ, with the hot sun beating down on all the pool equipment. Having issues with the pipes that run the water up to the solar heater making extremely loud glugging sounds at night as though there are bubbles surfacing in them. Called out our pool tech today and he...

Afternoon, Pool guy here. I have a customer who wants to install JVA's (Jandy actuator valves). Two, no problem, however they want 3. This I don't know how to do. :unsure: Question 1) Is there a 'third' auxiliary and can it be programmed in the Aqualink RS. OR, can they be wired in parallel...

Hello. We installed a new Intellicenter late last year and have been having a lot of issues. First of all, it seems somehow my pump is no longer communicating with the automation, as the screen on the pump itself is active and the Intellicenter is reporting "communication lost". Additionally, I...

hi! I have a solar pool water heater system - There is no connected spa, It has a Sun touch controller with a 3 way actuator valve (Pentair?) which was installed by a local solar company. The issue is that when the system is set to divert the water to the rooftop solar coils, the pump...

Hey! I am interested in putting a valve actuator on the valve for my water fountain so I can remotely turn it on and off. I have the IntelliCenter and it is connected to 2 pumps (main/Polaris), the Heater (through the Gas heater control), and an Intellichlor60. 1) Will I be able to plug an...

Hey all, My easy touch 8 controller seemingly randomly opens the solar valve actuator during the night. The control panel doesn't say that solar is activated, and the solar sensor is well below what it would be during the day. It sometimes happens when I have my cleaner program running, or when...

So, I was pre-mounting my IntelliValves today and there is an issue. This situation could occur with any valve actuator and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the following. So when I re-plumbed this summer, I placed the Jandy valves too close to one another. Now if I mount the actuators...
