The Jandy 2.0 HP Variable Speed Pump
(VS pump) has a built in Auxiliary Relay which can be used to control
a secondary device as long as it does not exceed 11 Amps. This is
ideal for a Salt Water System or Booster Pump and this is a great way
to control another piece of equipment through the VS pump. The Jandy
VS pumps not connected to an automated system requires a separate
controller and I prefer the Jandy iQPUMP01 interface over the older
JEP-R controller.
How the AUX Relay works is that you
would wire the device power source according to the manual as a
shared power source. A licensed electrician or licensed pool service
technician should do this for you. Once the device is connected to
the AUX Relay on the pump you can control that device by simply
setting a higher RPM that will activate the AUX Relay. Any RPM above
1725 RPM will give power to the AUX Relay and activate the secondary
device (Salt System or Booster Pump). So if you set your VS pump to
run at 1400 RPM for 8 hours per day and set a program at 2100 RPM for
two hours the Booster Pump or Salt System will then turn on.
This is a great way to insure that your
Salt System will only be running when there is enough flow to the
cell to generate chlorine. If you run your salt system with to little
flow it can cause damage to the system. The same goes with a Pressure
Side Cleaner Booster Pump. Many times I have stopped by a service
account where the Booster Pump is running when the main circulation
pump is off. Over time the Booster Pump will burn out. It is designed
to only run when the main circulation pump is running. So by wiring
either of these to the AUX Relay on the Jandy 2.0 HP VS pump, you are
insuring safe operation of the device.
The Jandy TruClear Salt System shown in
the video uses only 1 amp of power. It can easily be connected to the
AUX Relay as it is well below the 11 amp limit. A Polaris Booster
Pump gives off about 6 amps when connected as a 230V device. This
also is safe to connect to the AUX Relay on the pump. I wouldn't
connect another full size pump or anything that gives off more than
11 amps of power, otherwise the GFI will likely trip. But a Salt
System or Polaris Booster Pump can safely be connected.
If you have any questions as far as
wiring configurations you can call Jandy Tech Support directly. Every
pool system is set up differently so wiring configurations may vary.
The manual of the Jandy VS pump shows some accepted wiring
configurations that you can use. You can see the manuals here:
Jandy FloPro VS Pump (page 14):
Jandy VS PlusHP Pump (Page 11)
So the AUX Relay on the Jandy 2.0 HP
Pumps is a great way to power a secondary device and control it with
the iQPUMP01 by setting the pump RPM at a threshold above 1725 RPM.
It is like instant automation of the secondary device. If you are
using it with a booster pump then there is no need for a secondary
timer or time clock. This makes for a very clean and convenient
install of secondary equipment.
