sc5.4 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 I'm looking at replacing Jandy 1400 Flow Sensor (8ft.) Anybody know if the replacement is a threaded direct replacement? Also any advise on where to purchase? Quote
Pool Clown Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 There are two types now, one is secured by threads, the other is by union. You must be sure when ordering that you are getting the one that you need. I have heard several people on this forum getting them online for less than going to the corner pool store. Quote

You must be sure when ordering that you are getting the one that you need. I have heard several people on this forum getting them online for less than going to the corner pool store. I found out today from Jandy that the screw on threaded sensors are the ones that the old cells have. The "new type" replacement cells are paired up with the non-threaded union sensors. I have been experiencing no flow at times. Cleaned the sensor and was ok for a while. Now, it's giving a 172 and 181 code. I need to see if I can test the front board diagnostics and determine if it's the sensor or board. I'm thinking flow sensor. I have seen a few online, just want to make sure before ordering. Quote
Pool Clown Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 Those two codes are flow sensor codes. I have heard as well that the old style cells, (two port) are no longer available on line. I expect the sensors to follow suit in time. So get them now while you still can! Quote
sc5.4 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 UPDATE: Found the Jandy Replacement Flow Sensor part number for threaded sensor is R0403700. Changed it out, and now I have FLOW and CELL ON. Just a note- when I changed it, I had the power off at the pool timer and at the main box to reset the 172 and 181 codes. When I powered the system back on the same codes and service light were still there. After a couple minutes the codes went away and panel showed normal lights again. Working like a champ now for 3 days. Quote

sc5.4 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 That sounds right. Did you find the part online? or near your house? Found it online. My local pool store isn't to helpful with Jandy systems. Quote
Pool Clown Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 If you could post the link, so others here have a place to purchase the old style, that would help. Quote
sc5.4 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 If you could post the link, so others here have a place to purchase the old style, that would help. There is a few places online once you know the part number. I went with Discount Pool Mart. Click Here For Link Quote

Pool Clown Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 If the sensors are not shiny, use a green Scotch brite pad. Quote
sc5.4 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Posted June 12, 2010 After cleaning it, you may get lucky and it works for a while. Keep an eye on it. Mine started acting up at times then totally failed. Quote
Doug The Sign Guy Posted December 30, 2010 Report Posted December 30, 2010 Just bought the wrong one, as I needed the threaded sensor! Anyway, this forum is GREAT! Once I get the correct sensor, I'm going to save all kinds of money! Quote
sc5.4 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Posted December 31, 2010 Click on the above link I posted. That is the threaded one. Quote
