I have a Jandy RS-8, Model 8156 on f/w L.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I'm considering adding solar heat to this system. It has an available AUX 2-pin header on the PCB labeled "Solar" so I know it will run solar heat. How is this set up? I figure it controls a JVA but how is it triggered? You're talking about having temperature set points trigger it automatically but how to set that up in this older Jandy PCB? I looked on their website but don't see a pdf copy of the manual[/FONT]
BTW, is there a link somewhere to a cost analysis for doing solar? We run NG in the spring and fall to extend the swim season but does that ever spike the gas bill and if it is cheaper to run solar (free, less installation costs and occasional maintenance, it would seem) I'm definitely interested in it.
