Jandy ePump (original)

The first Jandy ePump — run by a JEP-R or AquaLink. Also sold as ePump + SVRS.

2.21 THP · 2.70 THP · 230V (208-230V on the SVRS) · variable-speed

What we repair on the Jandy ePump (original)

A permanent-magnet motor run by an electronic drive — no start capacitor to replace. When one fails we read the drive's own fault before touching a part.

  • Drive or keypad showing a fault, or the display dark — diagnosed against the manufacturer's fault list
  • Not answering the automation or app — communication wiring and settings
  • Speeds and schedules set wrong — reprogrammed for this pool, so it runs slow and quiet most of the day
  • Leaking at the shaft seal (water under the motor) — a new mechanical seal before the bearings rust
  • Air in the basket and losing prime — lid o-ring, basket, drain plugs, suction-side unions
  • Loud grinding or screeching — worn motor bearings
  • Low flow — impeller clogged or worn, diffuser gasket, basket
  • Cracked strainer housing, lid or basket

From Jandy's manual

  • Wait five minutes after cutting power before opening the motor.
  • Replace the mechanical seal whenever the motor is replaced.
  • The drive is sold on its own: R0688600.
  • SVRS: an entrapment trip holds the motor in fault for four minutes, then clears itself.

If it is time to replace it

Repair first when it makes sense. When the housing is cracked, the motor is failing on an old single-speed, or the parts are no longer made, these are the pumps to look at:
