My pool installer installed the simple switch...can I replace that switch with this controller myself? ie Does it use the same wire?

Yes, it is very easily done, if you are able it install any light switch, it is much easier to operate the lights, highly recommend. Just follow instructions.

This controller uses 3 conductors wire to connect to the pool lights. It is very straightforward to connect this controller and you should be able to use the same wire from the other switch.

Yes, the unit I bought comes with the Turbo cell and controller. Finding connectors to the pool piping was a bit of an issue (home improvement stores do not carry the needed connectors). Go to a pool supply store.

If this is X10 switch, it may still work. The reason for this, I have an old outlet x10, but when my new mini controller X10 came, it enable to control the outlet, provided you set the zone and house code correctly. I hope helps!

Probably different model of the same switch. One seller on ebay had the cover off showing rubber grommets where the wires enter. Also the switch setup was different, a black box switch instead of the normal relay. You shouldn't have to worry as long as the voltage and horsepower rating are the same. I'd buy the cheapest source. Installation and pressure adj. instructions come with the switch. Switches are adjustable over a wide range, the pressure rating on the box is just the factory preset.

Hi Ryan- What you need is a Bulbwizards Poolbright Color Changing Led Pool Bulb and a BULBWIZARDS SpaBright color changing LED spa bulb (either 12v or 120v depending on your installation). If the bulbs are both operated on the same circuit (switch) they can be synced easily by switching them on and off until both flash the same color. Complete instructions are included with each pool light and spa light. doug@bulbwizards

The diagram for the wiring of the switch came with the new switch. Perhaps you can E-mail the manufacturer. As I recall I simply attached the new switch and its wires exactly where the old one had been with the original wires corresponding to the same relative positions in the new switch. Gee, as I re-read my answer I see room for mis-interpretation and a lack of a concise answer. I hope I have not made your situation worse.

If you already have a sprinkler system and are just looking to replace your controller, then I would answer yes. Easy to switch over and set your zones up as you wish. Instructions are clear and easy to follow.

I just looked at my install guide and there is a big note on the front that says "Note This switch cannot be used is no neutral wire (white wires joint together) inside the electrical box." hope that helps

Yes, all you have to do is wire of the power supply to your pool timer. PS you'll probably want to use watertight connections.

We returned this due to the fact that our pool switch(cicra1989) only had two of the three needed connector wires. We just use the manual switch bs the pre programmed and it works fine

The actuator is intended for control from a pool controller. These are ridiculously expensive for what they do. I do not know what the cheapest controller is. I use an Aqualink Z4. The actuator has three wires: center, left, right. to move the valve left, put 24 VAC across center and left. for right, put 24 VAC across center and right. The valve rotates until it trips the proper limit switch. Inside the contoller, there is an SPDT relay. IF you are comfortable with electronics, you can build a simple controller using an Arduino, a relay board, and a 24 VAC transformer. Total cost less than $50.

I assume you are replacing the cracked unit with a new one that is identical in revision. If so, there should be no reason you cannot use existing wiring and control. I would replace the waterline, though.

no, it cannot simply replace a switch, it only works with a controller, and you have to have 4 z-wave switches that this controller will control

It is before 2012. it,s a match to a switch that was installed in my pool in 1995. Hope this helps !!!!

You must order the Geenerac with the switch. In addition we had to change our meter box. I still don't know why.

I had the good fortune to have the old,nearly identical switch in place. That made it easy to swap the new wires one-for-one with the old. Without a formal wiring diagram I would recommend calling an electrician or perhaps the manufacturer of the component on which you are installing the new switch.

I suppose it is possible to replace the switch without removing the pump from the sump well. But it seems far easier to cut the discharge pipe with a hacksaw, replace it on a work bench, and reinstall the pump using a conventional rubber sleeve with double hose clamp to cover the cut in the pipe upon re-installation. Biggest caution: be sure to note the wiring when removing the old switch or burning out the new switch is a distinct possibility.
