Looking for someone with any and I mean any knowledge of the Balboa Poolux automation system. My mother in laws PB installed it when they built the pool a few years back. I can find zero documentation online and only found 2 threads here when I searched "Poolux".

Ok, so my pump just hums and wont start. The pump has been running fine all summer and went out last week. So I replaced the capacitor and everything was running fine until today. I stopped it so I could start up the hot tub and it wouldn't start again. I am back to the humming. I have...

I have a Mineral Springs MS-10. I have it remotely connected to my Jandy PDA. For some reason the only way I can get it to show on my remote is to change the AL-2 to setting to AL-5. The manual refers to it as "Product name sent to the pool automation control display ("AL-2" signifies "Mineral...

I have a Polaris QT blower attached to my hot tub. When I turn it on it will only run for 1 minute and then cut off, then a few minutes later it will turn back on. Any thought as to what I need to replace to prevent this from happening? Thanks in advance for any help. Justin

Sorry I haven't responded in a while, I have been traveling for work. I took your advice and got the new thermal regulator kit, got the whole kit because there wasn't much price difference, installed it and everything seems to be back to normal. The hot tub heated up without incident. I would...

Ok, so when I pull the thermal regulator, is there anything specific I am looking for or am I just assuming it is bad?

So just more for curiosity why would you think it would be the thermal regulator over the unsightly limit switch? Also can the thermal regulator be cleaned or repaired? I am wondering if may dirty or mineral deposits that would affect it? Oh and thank you so much for all of you help! :cheers:

The unit itself is only a couple of years old. It will heat up to a normal temperature, but the unit will cut on and off throughout the heating process. What is the thermostatic bypass? I can't find any mention of it in the manual. Thanks, Justin

Hi, I have a MasterTemp 400 and it will run for a few minutes then shuts off and reignites again. I watched the back of the control board and LED 11 turns on each time the heater turns off. :hammer: Any thoughts? Thanks, Justin

Thanks for the info, hopefully I can get my buddy of the PhosFree.

Ok, so before you jump on me and tell me that phosphates are insignificant in water chemistry and that is just some BS that pool stores tell you, I already know that. I have used this site religiously since buying a home with a pool 2 years ago and can't thank everyone here enough. They have...

I did, I have mine on the wide beam setting. It is a nice option to have.

kevreh, Here is the pictures I took of the light last night. Sorry for the poor quality my wife was in Dallas with the camera last night. You can tell quite the difference between the LED light in the pool and the incandescent light in the hot tub. I definitely prefer the LED look. I will...

First and foremost the energy savings, it's energy usage is equivalent to 70 watts vs 500 watts. I can actually have it scheduled to be on a regular schedule and not be shocked when I get my utility bill, even with relatively low utility rates. Second it is a crisp light, incandescents are an...
