jrm10838 , I am in a similar dilemma- I have an Aqualink Z4 with a Jandy Stealth unit. Well, after two years the stealth died (no idea why, pool tech says power surge), and he recommended replacing with a Hayward Tristar- which we did.
Fast forward to yesterday, he gets the Tristar installed, and hooked up to the Z4 system but the Z4 cannot control the pump, it just continually runs- so things like schedules, etc are out of the question until he can figure it out.
I'm just looking to see if you eventually got this corrected- I'm assuming the communication wiring diagrams for the Hayward unit and the Aqualink are different. I'm fine not being able to control the speed using the Aqualink, but not having the ability to turn the pump OFF or use schedules kind of defeats the purpose.... The Pool Co I'm working with are very smart and actually installed the system originally before I purchased the house, I'm sure they can figure it out, but I'd like to be able to point him in the right direction if I can.
I also realize this post is like 2.5 years old so, hopefully SOMEONE will see this.
Thanks in advance!
