Configure Spa Spillover on Jandy setup

[Cpeterfeso]

Thanks to all on this forum, super helpful. Thanks to this forum I am ready to tackle my next pool change.....for whatever reason my PB setup my pool so that the spa spills over into the pool whenever it is in pool mode; to achieve the "right" flow, he cammed my Jandy JVA so that most of the water goes to the spa and a little to the pool. This was all done when I had a Jandy 2 HP single speed pump doing the work and everything worked as expected. I have now switched to a VSP and the spillover is kind of a mess at lower speeds (to be expected I think). I would like to reconfigure my system so that there is no spillover during "normal" pool mode and the spillover only happens when the spillover feature/button is engaged. I will set programs to engage the spillover a couple times a day coupled with higher speed on the VSP. My thoughts/plan on how to do this physically is:

1. "un cam" the JVA so that is back to 0% or 100%; I do this by opening the JVA and adjusting the ratchet wheel thing (I think I can figure this part out thanks to youtube)
2. Set dipswitch 3 to the on position on the RS board which should enable the spillover function on my Aqualink RS/one touch. My pool lights are currently in Aux 3 so I will first move the lights relay cord to a different Aux.

I think everything else would be done programmatically. Am I missing anything? Does this sound like a reasonable plan? Thanks in advance

Peter,

I am not a Jandy guy, but what you have outlined is exactly what needs to be done.

It sounds like you have done your homework well.

Let's see if Allen has any additional suggestions... Calling @ajw22

Thanks,

Jim R.

Yes, you got it.

Setting SPILLOVER mode on the Aqualink is described in Jandy Aqualink RS - Further Reading

Remove the light setting from AUX3 before you flip dipswitch 3 as you will not be able to access it after.
