If shes not using stabilizer then that would be terribly harsh and not to the commercial pool regulations in Cali...which i believe is 1.0.

I've just started reading about that. First im going to straight up REMOVE my cartridges from the filter to see if that fixes it (as a test). Im probably due for new cartridges so they might just be gumming up the system. Then i'll go from there and check that valve. I'll post a followup...

Good advice. My VSP is pretty high up with the spa on and any more would make it not fun to be in the spa. 🤪 I’ll try cleaning my filter. Maybe that’s choking off some pressure. Essentially, you answered the question, what ELSE could it be other than a bad sensor. What’s an internal and...

Hey guys, I don’t post much but have learned SO much on this site. It’s allowed me to take care of and repair my pool since it was new 8 years ago. Ok, Jandy LXi heater fires up and then shuts off to cool down after reading a High Limit error. There are other threads on this but I can’t seem...

Bout the same for me in L.A. I dose maybe a couple cups 1-2x per week at most. Two gallons lasts a few weeks.

Same problem here on my Jandy system. Gonna raise my water level a tad and see if it helps. Works fine and get good pressure/no air bubbles in spa mode but pool mode is really weak flow. Plus get a lot of air bubbles out of my return nozzles. Thanks for the tips and the post.

I have this exact problem as well, 3 years in using TFP the whole time, brown stains on pebble. I need to try the vitamin c thing. Mine looks like rust almost. I’m guessing I wasn’t keeping my ph low enough. I’d let it rise up to high 7s and 8 before knocking it down. Trying to stay closer to...

i had a BAT in mine a few days ago....weird, but kinda cool. don't worry about it. hahhahaah!

Re: Digging This Week - How Deep Should Sunshelf Be & Where to Find Best Loungers? Mine is 9". Covers you 3/4 deep when laying on it directly. Good for little kids that come over since they can walk around on it easily and sit in a nice pool of water. Nice to sit on the edge of it and dangle...

There is no O ring, it's a plastic screw on cap, I ended up looking for and finding a non hardening Teflon sealant I brushed on. Last nght it didn't stop the leak once it pressurized....I still had a slow drip. Didnt drip when punp wasnt on. This afternoon it stopped leaking though. Maybe it...

im going to bump this thread as i have the same problem. i just cleaned out my whole cartridge assembly, reassembled it - turned the pump on with the air valve opened and the canister was solid, but i have a SLOW leak on the drain. could i have overtightened it? i really didn't go crazy on it...

that price is crazy especially if its holding water. pictures?

i have the same chlorinator and notice that at 80-83 degrees, i need to run my chlorinator a lot more (same one as yours) or supplement with liquid chlorine. CA weather has been a real roller coaster so now im down to 70-75 degrees and SWG is making WAY more than i needed at 80-83. this is, of...

the only time i've seen that in my spa is when my wife bought splashless bleach by accident. defnitely need more info.

i chose to get 2 smaller led fixtures as opposed to one big one. i kind of wish i'd gotten 3 small ones for the pool, or 1 big and 1 small. its pretty bright and looks cool, but its nowhere near as bright as a regular incandescent bulb. the brightest color is light blue because that is an...
