I have a combo pool/spa with an iAqualink as mentioned in my signature. So its already using the Intake/Return side JVAs for the pool/spa mode.
I also have a Caretaker infloor cleaner which is my main return technically. I also have a leaf B gone. These are only "returns" for the pool (well I also have a waterfall feature but we only use it when kids are in the pool, don't use it when its just circulating water since pH will keep rising).
So Ive been entertaining two things. One I have spare Aux ports on my Jandy system. Im not looking to add anything there but though it would be nice if I could basically use one of the Aux buttons to control say a JVA to say divert water to the water feature without having to go walk all the way where my pool equipment is and then change it back when we are done. I love using my phone/tablet to control stuff on there already like heating the spa and what not. So not sure how Id do this, there must be some relay and somehow a transformer I will need to put somewhere as the JVA cant take straight 120v/240v.
Secondly (above was my first), I want to replace my main pump with a variable speed one from Jandy. Now since I only have infloor return and the leaf b gone as my main circulating return, the Variable speed if turned down a good bit wont be able to popup any of the heads as it needs like 15psi. So what Id like to do is essentially put a JVA on the popup heads diverter valve (will show in picture below) to close when the variable speed pump is just running at low power mode, and then maybe schedule it 1-2hrs a day to run full power which then the valve would need to open to let the in floor popup heads do its work. So basically when its in low power mode, its really just returning water through the leaf b gone jet.
Not sure if Im asking for way to much here on this, but seems like it should be available, but clearly no one has really thought about doing this (meaning Jandy didn't intend on this being done this way).
Just some reference, this is an old shot when I didn't know what the valves/outputs did. The one labeled Pool return on my picture is actually the jet for my Leaf B gone.
