My pool had been neglected for about 6 months due to various equipment and pool company issues. Trying to turn it around now. After shocking , the water has cleared a bit and I see stuff at the bottom, leaves and dead algae etc. whats the best way to remove that? I dont own a pool vacuum. I have...

Thanks. Its $30 on the tftestkit website. I have the tf100 test kit. Does it include the FAS/DPD? Or do I hAve to order that separately?

Can you send a link to speedstir. No idea what that is

I have the same question. I live in Austin, Tx. Have a 15k gallons salt pool. Any places where i can get that high strength shock that pool companies use?

Thanks for the responses, yes I have ordered that pentair manifold on amazon for $75. And I discovered a way to run the pump and polaris cleaner while the filter is open. I turned the valve to circulate mode.

I understand that you cannot give me legal advice. I am thinking of not paying him the $275. Because he did not follow the proper procedure to turn around a pool.

My pool was very green. And I did not have the time to turn it into blue, hence hired a pool company. Agreed to an estimate of $275 to turn-around the pool and $95 for DE filter clean. The guy showed up when nobody was home, went ahead and dropped 15 pounds of shock in the pool and cleaned the...

Thanks James. I trust you. I just placed an order for the omron relay using the link you shared from Amazon. I will call Jandy when they open tomorrow to find out which upgrade kit to use for the circuit board, because the current one is several years old and those buttons stick sometimes. Also...

I opened the box this morning. I see four relays in there, looks like they are all being used. I see wires on input and output of each relay. Looks like i need to purchase a new relay. Also, couldn’t locate a part number for the entire controller board. I will have to remove one of the relays...
