BasicPlumbing
Plumbing for Pool and Spa Combination.
The diagram to the right shows a simplified version of a
standard plumbing setup for a pool and spa that share
the same filter pump, filter, and heater. The Intake and
Return JVAs (Jandy Valve Actuators) turn simultaneously
so when the Spa button is pressed on the AquaLink®RS
Controller, water circulation switches between pool and
spa. Consult the JVA Installation Manual to ensure that the
Jandy Valve Actuators are "in synch" and rotate properly.
Please also note that if you have a pool only or a spa only,
the diagram does not apply, and if your pool and spa have
separate sets of equipment, you should install an
AquaLink®RS 2/6 model Controller, designed to control
separate equipment sets.
Non-Booster Pump Pressure-Side
The diagram to the right shows standard
plumbing for a non-booster pump pressure-side
pool cleaner (i.e., Ray-Vac, Energy Sweep, etc.) To
control this cleaner, control water circulation to
the cleaner by using a Cleaner JVA (see right).
Plumb a three-port valve between the filter pump
and the filter. Install a 2-port valve to open and
close the cleaner line, and after the valve, install a
Jandy Energy Filter to provide filtration (as the
main filter has been bypassed). Mount a JVA on
the 2-port valve and set the cam(s) (see JVA
Manual) to turn 90º. Please note the installation of
a non-booster pump pool cleaner requires
moving DIP Switch #1 to the ON position.

BasicPlumbing
Booster Pump Pool Cleaner Plumbing.
If you are using a Booster Pump Pool cleaner, plumb the
booster pump so its suction side is connected to the
pool return after the heater and as close to the ground
as is practical (see diagram to the right). Please note
that the installation of a booster pump pool cleaner
requires moving DIP Switch #1 to the ON position.
Solar System Plumbing
Booster Pump Plumbing
Solar System Plumbing.
If a solar system is part of the equipment, plumb the solar
feed and return lines between the main filter and the
heater (see diagram to the right). Please be sure to make
provision for solar drain down. Use a Jandy Non-Positive
Seal Valve to provide drain down. Plumb in a solar
booster pump if needed.
NOTE: A Jandy (10K) Solar Sensor will be needed for
solar system control. The sensor should be located near
the solar panels and connected to the Power Center by
18 AWG wire.
If a solar booster pump is installed, follow the
wiring diagram on page 34 for more information.

Mount Power Center.
All electrical equipment, except for the Four Function Switch, must be five feet or more from pool /spa and comply with all
national, state and local codes. If using a Jandy Power Center without built-in breaker compartment, install electrical supply
panel with separate breakers for each load. Make sure that motors on equipment have built-in thermal protection. Use the
grounding terminal, provided within the Power Center, for grounding. Bond all equipment, including the Power Center, to
earth ground. (Install to provide drainage for all electrical components.) Mount no less than 5 feet from pool/spa and at least
5 feet off the ground. In areas where lightning strikes are common, install an external surge suppression device.
RunConduit/WirefromSupplyPanel.
Depending on the amount of equipment you want to control, run ¾" or larger conduit from the power supply panel to the
lower side of the Power Center. If you are using the Power Center with built-in breaker compartment, wire power to the
appropriate breakers. Pull in appropriate wire for equipment. Each piece of equipment requires its own high voltage relay.
Connect 120 volts to the power supply terminals. Connect equipment ground(s).
WireRelay(installadditionalrelaysifneeded).
For each piece of 240 volt equipment to be controlled, wire line power to the two line terminals of a Relay and wire
equipment to the two load terminals. For each piece of 120 volt equipment, wire power to a line terminal and the equipment
to a load terminal. Order and install optional relay modules if additional equipment is to be installed. Wire all relays and feed
the relay plugs through the holes into low voltage compartment. Plug in relay coils using the wiring diagram on page 34 as
aguide.

Assign JVAs.
The Assign JVAs Menu lets you assign Jandy Valve Actuators (JVAs)
to any auxiliary button. This means that whenever you press that
auxiliary button, a valve turns. On pool/spa combination models,
there are two JVA Valve Actuators that can be assigned to auxiliary
buttons: the Cleaner JVA and the Solar JVA. On pool only/spa only
models, there are four JVAs available. The AquaLink RS installer
must set up these JVAs for this feature to operate correctly.
Assigning JVAs lets the owner control certain features like
diverting water to a waterfall or bank of spa jets.

the button will decrease brightness 25% until light is off.
Special Note to "Start-up Person":
The AquaLink RS allows you two options for operating the pool equipment for the first day of operation:
Option #1 - Once all programming of equipment is completed, go to the Power Center Service Switch. Push the Switch
three times which moves from "AUTO" to "SERVICE" to "TIME-OUT" and finally back to "AUTO". The
AquaLink RS will now "look back" (review) all programs and turn on any equipment which is programmed to
be on. Close up system; it will now operate as programmed.
Option #2 - If you want the filter pump or cleaner to operate continually for the first day, leave the Power Center Service
Switch in "AUTO" mode. Go to the indoor controller and press the AUX buttons for the equipment you want
to run. The equipment activated will now run continuously, ignoring the first programmed off time, and turn
off at the programmed off time for the next day.
