Jandy JEP-R ePump Digital Variable Speed Pool/Spa Pump Remote Control

Absolutely necessary item for pump operation. Item was received in s timely manner & worked great

This item appears/feels sturdy, and works great.The only reason I gave this controller 4 stars, is because I think it should have more programmable timers. For me 8 speed presets is overkill once you've gotten to experiment with the pump. Especially because you can alter the existing 4 panel presets with just the arrow buttons as its running. I would trade the 4 nested "menu based" speed presets, for 2 more timers. But really, it seems to me that with a simple little device like this, Zodiac/Jandy could just add 2 more timers to the firmware.Because you can simply enable/disable the timers, you could have different schedules for different seasons/situations, and simply turn them on or off without the hassle of reprogramming the start/stop times.The buttons require a firm press to activate. I'm guessing that it has internal water proofing solutions for the button openings, and that would be why. This only becomes challenging when you're defining a custom name for a speed preset, and you have to scroll though the lengthy character set.On a different note: Following the good advice of a previous reviewer, I found this box to mount it in:Arlington EB0708-1 Electronic Equipment Enclosure Box, 7" x 8" x 3.5", Non-Metallic, 1-PackIn addition to the obvious benefit of preventing weather/sun damage, I plan to mount the box rotated 90 degrees CW from the orientation in the item picture. That way the lid will create a natural sunshade when its open. LCDs are difficult to read in direct sun. As long as the box dimensions are correct, it will fit that way. I ordered the box a few days ago, but Amazon hasn't shipped it yet, so we shall see.

Replaced old controller with this one. Works great and easy th install.

Easy to install just unplug the existing wires and attach them to the color coded circuit panel on the new device. It was so easy to program, and saved hundreds by purchasing and installing it myself.

Replace my Jandy control, Had to replace due to UV light faded the screen so bad you could not read it. Installed in a new enclosure box to mount it in. Works great and best price I have found, also was fast to order.
