How To Use The Jandy Aqualink Rrs To Install Aqua Rite?

The Jandy AquaLink RS is a system designed for advanced control of in-ground pool and spa equipment. It offers one-touch control for daily pool equipment functions, such as filtration, sanitation, and cleaning, and integrates seamlessly with home automation systems. The AquaLink RS control panel allows users to automate daily pool equipment functions and create one-touch macros.

The system can be upgraded to AquaLink RS Power with Conversion Kits, allowing users to convert old AquaLink, Ji Series, Polaris ® EOS ™/SOL, Compool ®, and Pentair ® systems. The installation manual provides instructions for operating the Jandy AquaLink® RS PDA handheld remote, but cautions that this product must be installed and serviced by a professional.

The All Button control system allows users to control up to eight auxiliaries, filtration systems, temperature settings, pump speeds, and diagnostics. The system also includes a DIP switch for connecting the SWG to the Jandy AquaLink panel with an Aqua Rite chlorine generator.

In case of lost communication with the Jandy AquaLink RS4 panel, Goldline Controls provided the standard answer. The salt system is programmed directly on the AquaRite power supply, and when the Aqualink turns the pump on, the programming is executed. To access the main circuit board, open the cover on the main aquarite unit and locate a red 4 pin connector with numbers 1,2,3,4.

What is the ideal salt level for aquarite?

To ensure accurate salt readings, ensure the pump is running, the turbo cell is clean, and the salt level in your pool water is within the recommended range of 2700 to 3400ppm. A salt level of 3200ppm is ideal. Slide the toggle switch on the Aqua Rite to “Off” and then to “Auto” and press the Diagnostic button five times in a row. If the system settles on or near a number close to your pool’s salt level, slide the power switch up to “Super Chlorinate” and back down to “Auto” to lock that number in as the new average salt reading.

If the numbers stop changing significantly below your actual salt level, contact a service center for assistance. To locate authorized service centers, visit hayward. com and click on the Dealer Locator link. The Aqua Trol® works best with approximately 3200 ppm salt, which is roughly a teaspoon per gallon.

What is the desired output setting on AquaRite?

The “Desired Output” knob, located in the lower center of the Aqua Rite control panel, serves to regulate the amount of chlorine generated by the device. The level of chlorine can be increased or decreased by means of this control.

The user is able to set the time and access other options, including those pertaining to password input and language changes, by navigating to the “Set Time” menu item.

Can the Jandy Aqualink be controlled with an app?

Jandy pool automation systems, such as the AquaLink® RS and the iAquaLink® app, afford the ability to remotely monitor the status of the pool system. These systems are compatible with the iAquaLink® app, thereby ensuring a seamless user experience for homeowners. The following chart is provided for the purpose of assisting the reader in identifying the optimal Jandy pool automation system for their particular requirements.

Which direction to install Hayward salt cell?

The cell direction is not important as it can be mounted horizontally or vertically, and the cord can be mounted upstream or downstream. The flow switch direction is crucial as it must be mounted so the arrows on the switch go in the direction of flow. The switch requires 12 inches of straight pipe before water enters the part to prevent turbulence and at least 11GPM of flow to close properly. Conventional chlorine can be used in conjunction with a Hayward chlorinator, but other forms can be added if necessary. The chlorinator should provide all the necessary chlorine, but other forms can be added if necessary.

What should my salt chlorinator be set at?

A saltwater chlorinator system is a simple process that can be installed at the pool pad without draining the water. It should be set at approximately 3200 ppm, and the correct amount should be checked in the manual. Before starting, ensure the pool holds enough water and maintains the ideal chemical levels of alkalinity, calcium hardness, chlorine, and cyanuric acid. Add salt to the pool in small amounts, using a pool brush to avoid clumping.

It is important to use the correct type of salt, sodium chloride, as table salt requires anodization and may be more expensive. Solar salt or rock salt should not be used as they can stain the pool. Avoid using solar salt or rock salt as they can cause damage.

What voltage does a salt water chlorinator output?

What voltage does a salt water chlorinator output?

A power pack is a device that converts 240 Volt AC power to around 8 Volts DC to produce sodium hypochlorite. It is used to control the operation of the cell, provide a means of interconnecting the pool pump, and house auxiliary equipment. Most domestic swimming pools need a minimum of 80 grams of hypochlorite equivalent each day with 8 hours of filtration to remain clean, clear, and properly disinfected. The smaller the transformer, the higher the operating temperature within the power pack.

A 160 VA transformer operating at near 20 Amps and 8 Vac tends to operate at about 130 degrees Celsius. Higher temperatures cause greater wear and tear on cables, wires, and other circuitry components, making them more prone to failure.

What should the salt level be in a pool?

The ideal salt level for a pool is between 2700-3400 ppm, with 3200 ppm being optimal. Before adding salt, test the water and adjust the amount according to the chart. Low levels can reduce the efficiency of the salt chlorinator, causing low chlorine production. High levels can cause the chlorinator to shut down and give the water a salty taste. Salt is constantly recycled, and loss of salt throughout the swimming season should be minimal. Water loss is primarily due to splash out, backwashing, or overflowing due to rain. It is important to balance water before adding salt chlorination.

Can you install a chlorinator backwards?

Replacement salt cells are not directional and cannot be installed backwards. However, some models with flow switches or sensors require specific orientation for proper function. Always consult the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation orientation. Salt cells can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on the pool’s plumbing setup and space availability. Ensure the installation orientation aligns with the salt cell model’s specific requirements, especially if it includes a flow switch or sensor.

Installing a salt cell involves turning off power, locating the salt cell, inspecting it for damages, ensuring it’s positioned correctly, securely attaching it to the plumbing, and reconnecting it to the control system. Power up the system and check for leaks or error messages.

Does it matter which way a salt cell is installed?

Does it matter which way a salt cell is installed?

Inline salt cells are crucial components of a Salt Chlorine Generator, an electronic device that chlorinates saltwater pools, eliminating the need for regular chlorine addition. These titanium plates, also known as “blades” or “electrodes”, are installed vertically or horizontally in a PVC housing. They are typically the last component in the swimming pool’s equipment system, ensuring water returns to the pool when it leaves the salt cell.

The salt cell works by sending a weak electrical current from the salt system’s controller to the salt cell, which passes through the water between each pair of titanium plates, causing electrolysis. This process converts the low salt level in the pool water into a pure form of chlorine by splitting apart the Sodium and Chlorine atoms.

  • I just installed a Smart JVA control board into my Aqualink RS4 system. I do not have a One Touch controller, so I went through the steps that you provided (and in the instruction manual for the SJVA) by using the FLUIDRA iaqualink portal, which all seamed to work fine, well…except that the JVA that is connected to the SJVA control board does not move at all (note that I did move the JVA back to my “Solar” connector and the JVA moves the full 180 degrees.) The LED on the SJVA board is on solid when the JVA should be moving and flashes when not in use. Are there any tests that can be performed to determine why the JVA is not moving when requested? Thank you.

  • Bob – I have the same setup. I recently purchased a new ‘Aqualink PDA’ board to upgrade my existing Aqualink RS’ PCB that is vintage 2003. I have a One Touch panel (newer) that works with the RS system now. After installing the Aqualink PDA Power Center main board, I can’t get the One Touch Panel to work – It powers and displays Firmware Revision, but no controls. Do you have any suggestions on a setting or something else that needs to be set on the PDA board or One Touch Panel to make them work together? All controls work at the Aqualing PDA main board – only a Onbe Touch issue. Thanks.
