My kids are getting ready to pour concrete and the concrete company is using a standard expansion joint material made out of some type of fiber (coconut?) instead of the traditional foam backer with tear off like was used in my pool it doesn’t look to have near the compressibility of foam. Is...

I’m building a pool/spa with all pentair equipment and need to select an air blower for the spa. My last pool/spa had a polaris QT which worked well but was noisy. For the life of me I can’t find the model/part number for a similar part made by pentair. Also What is the quietest brand?Any help?

I don’t know about where you love but 10% CL is over $8/gal here now so there’s an even bigger cost savings than stated back in 2020.

I did an owner/builder a pool in 2004 using a complete Jandy system at the time and sadly they seem to be shunning DIY customers these days so I’m not recommending them any further. My daughter and SIL are now starting a owner/builder but since much has changed since back then I’m out of the...

I used this one which has been excellent! Also it allows controlling cell output using the iaqualink app the same as the OEM one. And yeah I’m familiar with their policies. This is my 3rd aquapure complete system I’ve installed since I built the pool in 2004. My last jandy replacement cell went...

A common failure point in these cells is the center electrode attachment point to the plate fails due to corrosion. I’ve had 2 that died prematurely that way And switched to a non jandy replacement cell that is 1/2 the price and actually outputs more chlorine. It’s been going on 1 yr with zero...

Super simple to diy maintain. you’ll have to treat occasionally as pH rises with muriatic acid but most other parameters won’t change much over time.

The economics are very different today with liquid chlorine now 300-400% higher than before the pandemic. with those prices, a salt system will likely pay for itself over it’s lifespan of the equipment. Also there are some aftermarket brands that do well and are way cheaper than those offered by...

Actually lubricating the threads with some good silicone grease works great! make screwing and unscrewing the unions way easier!

To the OP, If you installed a complete aquapure system it has a 3 yr warranty and sendosteve is correct. Leqve it alone and assembled then Call jandy and they will have a pool company come look at it and repair/replace any bad parts. If it’s a replacement cell that failed in 2020 be advised...

Look for the codes above. Typically the jandy cells fail ~ 4 yrs so 2 yrs seems premature but the typical failure seems to always be the center pin attachment to the plates. My last one made it 3yrs and then with plenty of plate life left had the common pin corrosion failure. Frankly I’m done...

Probably water draining out of filter causing the water flowing out. As others said, install a new o-ring and lube it well with silicone grease. They get old and lose elasticity.
