Thanks Scott. I also contacted Jandy: "Mike, The best option would be to replace the PCB with screen. The part number for the PCB is R0550800. The PDA won't be able to program if used with an RS system and the antenna would also need to be changed. Hope this helps! Regards," Just in case...

I currently have a Jandy RS8 controlling my pool equipment. The outside panel is controlled from a wireless One Touch inside the house. The One Touch seems to be on the blink. Does anybody know whether I can replace the One Touch with a Jandy pda? Is it a straight swap or do I need a...

I figured it out, the lights are wired through a GFCI receptacle, it had tripped. he heater is still a mistery.

I went to turn on my hot tub last night and after a few attempts managed to get it to fire up. I have a Jandy control sytem which doesnt always start the hot tub heater. If I turn off and then turn on at the heater it starts to spark then if I beat on the gas control valve a couple of times...

Evaporation makes sense. The calcium line is where the stone absorbs the water then evaporates leaving the salt. I will try the muriatic acid and test the tap water. Modog, my pH keeps rising but not too bad. I reduced the TA to about 90, I go through a lot of chlorine though. The borates is...

The staining though not heavy seems to have got worse since adding the new water. The deposit is on the natural stone rather than on the tile.

I am getting some calcium staining at my waterfall. Prior to draining my pool to 30% I had a CH of 420. I got the CH down to 360, I guess my water must be pretty hard. After a couple of weeks the CH has returned to 420. All other parameters are within BBB parameters. I have only been using...

Thanks, appreciate the help.

A guy I work with has a friend in the water treatment business. He dropped off a pint of concentrated hydrogen peroxide, said it would fix the issue. Makes you wonder.

Is it true that addition of hydrogen peroxide to a pool will reduce the concentration of CYA?

UPDATE: Last saturday I decided to add the borate. Fifteen cartons of 20 Mule Borax was a lot of borax. I had to go to 2 Targets and empty both stores shelves. Saturday morning went well only the odd question from my wife "what are you doing out there?" I ended up not shocking the pool. The...

Should the jets be pointed in such a direction to form a clockwise or anti clockwise circulation?

UPDATE: The algae is back! There are very small patches on the walls that brush off easily. I have been very diligent about testing and keeping up with the pH and free chlorine level. I have not allowed the FC to fall below 5.5. I have rechecked the CYA and still come up with 50ppm. The...

UPDATE - No algae the next day, :cheers:

I took a sample this morning before the pump started to run and got FC = 5.5, maybe I was not so accurate the night before. I rechecked the CYA, I am pretty sure it is 50. No signs of algae this morning, I will check again this evening. I added enough chlorine to achieve FC = 7.5. I run the...
