Featured Circupool Core Control 55 Initial Thoughts

[Capnswab]

Great reviews and input from all.

I am looking into this system to replace my old Jandy Aquapure Ei35. I have emailed Circupool to request an owner's manual so I can examine the wiring diagram. My current setup has a Jandy 2.0 VS E-pum with a JEP-R controller running the pump, and the SWG turns on via flow through the cell. The SWG is wired directly into a breaker in the panel.

How does the install compare? Reading some of the info above, it looks like I would be doing the same as Capnswab, wiring into the aux on the pump. I am just wanting to make sure I completely understand the install before moving forward.

Also how big is the wall mount controller? After 7 years of my Jandy being in the sun the controller cover has dry rotted. Would a larger waterproof enclosure be a bad idea? Something like this? I was thinking if I went this route, I could drill holes in the side and bottom of the box to promote airflow.

I think it’s like a 13” or 14” square more or less. Wiring into the aux relay on the pump was really straight forward. The control box has vents on the top and sides, so I don’t know that I’d want to completely box it in.

I wouldn’t put an additional box on it. It’s got a pretty good sized heat sink on the back that needs airflow.

Manual attached.

Mine is wired to the timer circuit, which is always on now, so it’s always on and relies on the flow switch for protection. Not worried about it because the flow switch is built into the cell itself, meaning you replace it when you replace the cell. I’m comfortable with that planned service life. It was a consideration when I bought it.
