I've been using a pool service for several years and finally decided to switch to SWG. Recently I bought a RJ60+. The installation was straightforward. I've also made my existing Intermatic timers to control the VSP. I have two timers. One (A) was used for a single speed pump before the VSP. The other (B) is still used for the booster pump. Here is my setup:
I wish I had discovered the following post earlier before choosing RJ60+. Now I am worried that the capacity of the unit may be far less than 3.1 lbs. However, the post was two years ago. I couldn't found any recent updates. Does anyone know if there is a conclusion or any recent updates? Thanks.

- VSP is always on.
- RJ60+ is on A
- Installed two outlets from A and B
- Found two old cell phone chargers (for outlet A and outlet B): (110v-240v) input, outputs are at least 5V
- Cut the charger wires, connect grounds together. Now I have three wires (GND, VA+, VB+) to control the VSP externally.
- Pentair has an external control wiring kit (Pentair P/N 353129Z) but is discontinued and now it is expensive. I made my own wire.
- The connector on the pump has 8 pins. Here is the pin layout:
- The center pin is the ground
- 1 o'clock is Quick Clean
- 2 o'clock is Speed 3
- 3 o'clock is Speed 2
- 4 o'clock is Speed 1
- 11 o'clock is 5V (no need to use)
- When multiple signals exist, the priority follows Quick Clean > Speed 3 > Speed 2 > Speed 1
- I connected VB+(Booster) to Speed 3, VA+(SWG) to Speed 2, and GND to the ground.
