Hi,
The past 2 winters, while in "Auto" mode, my Aqualink RS4 turns on the pump for "Spa" filtering, turns on the heater for the spa, and turns on the pool light. This is all by itself and there is no ryhme or reason and it's constant (when, for example the spa filtering would turn on, I would turn it off at the LED control inside the house but it would turn back on within moments). Any one of these will go on or off by itself whenever it wants (I have no automatic on/off settings for these items to turn on at certain times of the day, only the auto on/off for pool filtration). Even when the pump is filtering the swimming pool during the time I have it set to turn on automatically, the "Spa" filtering will eventually kick-in (by itself) and then the pump will switch the Jandy valves automatically to start filtering the spa (i.e. the pump will switch itself from pool filtering to spa filtering). The only way to stop all these from going on by itself is to go to the main control panel outside and switch the mode from "Auto" to "Service". However, now I have to go outside and manually turn on (and off) the pump. Not an issue unless I'm away for days for vacation, traveling for work, etc. Since now it is getting warm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, I have switch it back to "Auto" mode. So far, these weird pool things turning itself on has decreased to maybe the spa turning itself on or the heater turning itself on but the rate it occurs is low (one or twice a day). I also have turned off the heater unit itself so it doesn't turn on when triggered by the Aqualink RS4.
Aqualink has 4 relays. On my system, one relay is for the pump, Aux 1 is assigned to the air blower, Aux 2 the pool light, and Aux 3 to the spa light. There are no Aux for the spa (or pool) so I assume there is something else on the PCB that controls whether the pump filters the pool or the spa. There is also no Aux for the heater. I don't think it is a bad relay causing this. I already replaced the relay for the pump about 2 -3 years ago so should be fine.
Any suggestions on what is causing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
My system:
Aqualink RS4 control panel outside. Aqualink LED control inside. Pool constructed late 1990's maybe 1998 (I bought the house in 2012). Approx 29,000 gallons, salt water pool cleaner (Hayward AquaRite Salt system with 40k gallon salt cell installed 3 years ago). Sta-Rite cartridge filtration.
