Jandy | RS-PS8 | AquaLink RS8 Pool and Spa Control System | System Level with JVAs, 8 Auxiliary Circuits

The Jandy RS-PS8 is the AquaLink RS8 pool and spa control system at the system level. It is built for pool and spa combinations that share one set of equipment, and it controls your filter pump, your heater, and up to eight auxiliary circuits such as pool and spa lights, landscape lighting, water features, jets, a cleaner, or a solar heater.

Read this part carefully before ordering. Jandy builds AquaLink RS systems a-la-carte, and this is the system level package. The box contains the power center board, the bezel, the CPU, temperature sensors, 3 HP relays, JVA valve actuators, and the owners and installation manuals. It does not include the power center enclosure or a control panel. To finish a working system you also need a power center for your circuit count and a controller such as an AquaLink RS OneTouch, an All Button panel, or an iAquaLink interface. An 8 circuit system takes the Standard Power Center 8 Circuit, part 6613.

The RS8 handles the dual body logic that makes a shared equipment pad work. It drives the JVAs to switch flow between pool and spa, manages heater setpoints separately for each body, and runs freeze protection so a cold snap does not cost you a pump or a heat exchanger. Seasonal adjust modifies your schedules through the year instead of running summer runtimes in December.

Everything is programmable into one touch macros, so a single button can put the system into spa mode, fire the heater, switch the valves, and set the lights. It integrates with home automation systems, and with an iAquaLink interface you get control from a phone or tablet anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a complete, ready to install system?

No, and this is the most important thing to know. This is the system level package: board, CPU, bezel, relays, sensors, and JVAs. You still need a power center enclosure and a control panel. Confirm what you already have on the wall before ordering.

Which power center do I need?

Match it to your circuit count. An 8 circuit system uses the Standard Power Center 8 Circuit, part 6613. A 12 circuit build pairs that with a 4 circuit foundation power center, part 6612F.

What is the difference between RS-PS8 and RS-P8?

The PS in RS-PS8 means pool and spa combination. RS-P8 is pool only or spa only. If you have a spa that shares equipment with the pool, you need the PS version, because it includes the JVAs and the dual body logic.

What is the difference between RS-PS8 and RS-PS4 or RS-PS6?

The number of auxiliary circuits. The hardware is otherwise the same family, and the CPU board is what sets the circuit count.

Do I have to use all eight circuits?

No. Install only the relays you need now and add the rest later as you add equipment.

Can I control it from my phone?

Yes, with an iAquaLink interface added to the system. The RS-PS8 by itself does not include the internet transceiver.

Does it protect against freezing?

Yes. Freeze protection runs the pump and can shut down equipment automatically when temperatures drop, which is standard on AquaLink RS.

Can I install this myself?

This is high voltage equipment wired at the pad, and the JVAs mount on your plumbing. Installation should be done by a licensed electrician or a qualified pool professional, and local electrical code applies.

Will it work with my existing Jandy valves?

The included JVAs mount on Jandy NeverLube valves such as the 4715 and 4717. If your valves are another brand, check actuator fit before ordering.
