John's Pool Videos are all about helping people to understand how to control, and maintain their swimming pools more effectively. Also I show pools in different stages of construction.
Reviving an old thread. Couldn’t figure out for the life of me why I couldn’t program the vsp. I checked and data cable wasn’t even connected. Followed your directions and bam, up and running! Thanks so much for posting the video.
I have the same pump. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. I was thinking it’s the capacitor but not sure what’s the part number. Do you know if it even has a capacitor? I looked at the manual and I can’t seem to find it
Are you able to post a picture of how the wires should look? I'm just not sure of exactly which wires I should be switching and where they should go. Thanks
Great video, thanks. I have a Superflo VS pump (older, not RS-485) EasyTouch 8 Compool upgrade. When my EasyTouch upgrade was installed, the Compool power center was re-used. As a result, there are no screw terminals on the high voltage side to which I can connect the Superflo VS control wires. The only option I see is to wire the pump control directly to the 2 position connectors for each circuit on the EasyTouch upgrade board. Is that correct? Thanks!
Quick question...i hooked mine up to 4 and common and it came on a very light setting. Is 1 the strongest pump function or 4? I watch another video and was told to connect 1 to 3 and 2 to 4 on the red communication contacts. And the pump is running at a medium speed. Really need the pump to come on strong without the controller if you know how? I habe the jandy 2.7 vsflopro variable speed pump. Thank you
I thought that 4 was supposed to be the highest. I had not heard about messing with the communication port . I'm pretty sure that it tops out at the priming speed which is 2500 RPMs without the controller. You could try messing with the dip switches. I'll see what I can find out I'll play around with one this week and see if I can get it to do more.

Hi John, I need your help as I am about to start working as an MEP engineer in construction industry for the trade of swimming pools and spas water features etc. I wanna learn from you how do i connect with you?
If you’re going to put a video like this together, you should show how to set up everything. Not skip over things that aren’t on your pool for those of us who do do have those features.
Does Hayward have a separate app where you can get in there and set it up remotely do what you just did or do you have to be at the panel box with that secondary controller to set it up? If so, what are the two apps that you need to download, just started working with a company that does all Hayward and I’m not familiar with the aumick Jandy and Pentair. Yes Hayward no
As soon as I did this (connecting a different thermostat/remote) my heater defaults down to 70 as desired temp every time it kicks back on ... so never fires until I go manually it back up. What did I do wrong?
That seems odd normally when you set a temperature on the heater it stays at the last temperature you set. Normally I leave the heater set at 104 if I'm controlling it from another controller
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy I know! I'm wondering if I shorted out some memory thing or if this is wired to be a harder stop/start (although that makes no sense because even after a 30 hour power outage that thing fired back up and was still at my last setting)
@@JohnThePoolExpertGuy the conduit is like 25’ long and I’m looking to bend it back straight. The curve is only like 10-15 degrees over that 25’. Seems like it should be pretty easy aside from just digging it all up initially
Thanks, good info. I have a water leak into my spa form and wondered what the complete assembly was like and if I had a cracked pipe or leaking seal. I will remove and inspect with a borascope
