To operate the spa heat independently from the pool using the Jandy AquaLink RS8 controller, follow these steps:
1. Ensure Proper Valve Actuation – The Intake and Return Jandy Valve Actuators (JVAs) must be synchronized to switch water circulation properly between the pool and spa when Spa Mode is activated.
2. Use One-Touch Macro Settings – Configure custom one-touch settings in the web interface to control the Solar and Gas heating functions separately.
3. Activate Spa Mode – Press the Spa button on the AquaLink RS controller to switch circulation to the spa.
4. Turn On the Spa Heater – Once in Spa Mode, enable the spa heater through the interface. This should start heating the spa independently.
5. Check Heater Activation – If both heaters turn on in Spa Mode, verify system wiring and settings, as some setups may automatically activate both heaters.
6. Adjust Scheduling – If needed, assign heating functions to a schedule for automatic activation.
If the spa heater does not operate independently or the pool heater turns on when not desired, further configuration or system adjustments may be required.

To reset the Jandy AquaLink RS for automatic pool operation, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the system is powered on. 2. Check if the lockout feature is enabled. If it is, disable it, as it may prevent manual or automatic operation. 3. Verify that the control panel buttons are responsive. 4. If the system is not functioning correctly, try cycling the power by turning it off and then back on. 5. Ensure that the pool mode settings are correctly configured for automatic operation.
The lockout feature should be off to allow normal automatic operation.
