Hi Guys
Hope someone can please help me, earlier in the year thanks to some fantastic advice from members here I installed a Hayward Oncommand and its been such a great controller to replace my old 1992 Jandy. I have it setup just the way I want now and the last piece to the puzzle was installing solar for it to control. I installed a Jandy valve and Intermatic actuator on top to bypass the solar when need be and that worked as expected so I went onto install the solar temp sensor and then program up the Oncommand.
I set the Pool Solar heat level to 88 degrees, Spa Solar to 100 degrees, solar to Enabled and Valve 3 to Solar but so far nothing is working, it won't turn off when it reaches temp, not see the valve move once since installing it. I know the valve works as I manually toggle it up and down and it turns so power is getting to it. Am I missing a setting or misunderstanding how the system should work? I do have the heater enabled at the same time as I want it to back up the electric heater to get to temp faster but from what I read in the manual that's ok.
Anyone any ideas please? It mentioned something about using a pump for solar but my solar is pretty standard and goes to the roof after the filter and down into the heater and to the pool.
Thank you very much
Stuart
