    Pump Losing Prime /

    Hello, Looking for some guidance on an issue with the pump not priming. Pool has been running fine for years until the last few weeks. Once the pump turns off, I can hear a gurgling sound at the pump and water (I think) is going back into the pool from the filter. Is the piece directly above...

    Constant High TA/PH

    Hello, I use 12.5% liquid chlorine and 31.45% muriatic acid for maintenance. I have been battling high PH and somewhat high TA for a year now and can’t get it down. I moved in about a year ago and after testing the water the CYA was so high I couldn’t measure it. The TA was 180 and PH...

    Constant High PH

    The PH of my fill water is 7.6 and TA is 140. I am manually filling the pool about 2" 1x/week.

    Constant High PH

    I have a spillway that I am turning on for 30 minutes per day to chlorinate the spa. We haven't used the pool much yet but with summer coming we will probably use it 1-2x/week. Good to know, so it's normal to use this amount.

    Constant High PH

    Hello, I have a 20k gallon in ground gunite pool from 2006. I purchased the house about 8 months ago and drained the pool as the CYA was so high I couldn't even chart it. Everything has been going great except I am constantly battling high PH. I have tried to dose with 1 quart of acid every...

    Anyone recommend a smart water monitoring app/tech?

    I did a ton of research here and found most people preferred Sutro however, most people on here would probably tell you to get yourself a test kit and do it manually :) Once you get the hang of that it's easy to go out 1-2x/week and do a few tests manually. I didn't want to pay the $500 up front...

    Considering changing to color changing LED

    I just switched out and older (2005) fiber optic light tower for 2 Jandy watercolor 24w (nichless) and it came out great. I lost the lighting in the water falls but the pool and spa is much brighter now.

    Aqualink Upgrade - Onetouch Stays On

    Hello, Thank you all for your help. I can't believe how simple this actually was. I needed to go into the Onetouch > settings > display light > switch from "on" to "2-minute timeout" and it fixed it. So apparently that feature gets changed when switching from the old RS to iAqualink 30RS.

    Aqualink Upgrade - Onetouch Stays On

    Hello, Recently upgraded a Jandy Aqualink RS8 to an iAquaLink 3.0 iQ30-RS. Everything is working as expected however the "Onetouch" panel inside the house has a backlight that stays on permanently. Normally the backlight comes on after pressing any of the buttons and turns off after a few...

    Jandy Aqualink RS6 > Upgrade / Lights

    One more question on here.. Any clue where I can buy Jandy 24w LED nichless lights online? Everywhere I look says "in store only" or a comparable light for a large pool as I only have a spot for 1 nichless led?
