    Jandy PLC1400 & automation

    I don’t have an H-Temp button so the test procedure won’t work but the rest procedure did. Thanks @JamesW! Do you know how to reset the external temp sensor of an iAqualink 2.0? My PB replaced the sensor but both the old and new ones showed the correct Ohm reading for the temperature outside...

    High acid demand

    My first pool was vinyl and the previous incarnation of this pool had a fiberglass overlay on top of the gunite. Neither of these needed much acid if any so I was surprised that after the break-in period I still have such high demand. @zea3 & @ajw22 - your comments are helpful. It does reset...

    Jandy PLC1400 & automation

    I have a Jandy PLC1400 & Jandy iAqualink system which were both installed in March as part of a pool remodel. I’ve adjusted salt to 3000 ppm and used a new Taylor K-1766 to verify my levels. The Jandy believes my salt levels are at 3700 ppm as shown on the Jandy app & on the display at the...

    High acid demand

    Our pool was remodeled over the winter we went with a Wet Edge pebble liner. The pool was filled up on March 26th and the initial startup steps were performed by the PB. I followed the start-up instructions to the letter and 30 days later the PB returned to add salt and turn on the salt...

    Taylor K-1000 chlorine tests

    I ran another test and compared the K1000 to the TF-100 Chlorine drop test and found that I do indeed have to give the K1000 test a few moments to "think" and develop an "accurate" color. I'm not sure I trust the OTO tests because some of those color shifts are so subtle I have trouble telling...

    Taylor K-1000 chlorine tests

    I find the Taylor chlorine test always gives me an immediate answer, but by the time I wander around the pool and finally make it inside to clean it, the reading has changed. My most recent test showed 0.5 ppm and less than 5 minutes later it was 2.0. What gives? Am I supposed to give it time...

    Crooked Drains?!?!

    The project manager called today and said they'd be willing to drain my pool, chip out the incorrect items and patch them back in. I'd rather not have to deal with a patch so I called my sales guy. He's been in touch with me often during the process and I complained about the drains and the...

    Crooked Drains?!?!

    @bmoreswim I'm with you - I'm trying to negotiate from a stand point of "what can you offer me that will make me forget this issue". Once done, if anyone notices, I'll say yeah, but they gave me a .... My sales guy came by yesterday and commented about the drains and he's going to talk with...

    Crooked Drains?!?!

    My pool remodel is done and we put water in on Friday so I should be really happy, but I'm not. I have had several issues during the build and feel that if I wasn't walking the job daily most of these issues would not have been dealt with. Remaining issues: 1. Drains are crooked 2. "rope...

    shotcrete job quality concerns

    I'm not an expert, but that does look a bit thin to be a pool wall. I'm in the middle of a pool remodel and my PB used gunite for our steps. It's a bit rough but so is the entire pool shell right now. :rolleyes: Looking at my picture I see small voids but nothing as bad as what you have...

    Equipment pad - sizing

    I'm still in the planning stages for a pool remodel and I got the first design back from the landscape architect. She's got this small little space in the corner for pool gear and it made me start to think about requirements for the pad. I think my county requires 3' of clearance from the...
