    Hello! Looking for solution to turn on heater with an iPhone (rental house)

    Hi! I have a rental property with a RayPak propane heater. I need to be able to turn on the pool heater before the guests arrive. Which solutions do you folks recommend? Bonus would be to monitor the propane use. I have a wireless tank monitor but that's not very accurate. It's...

    Help! Is my Jandy 3-way in the correct position?

    Dear Jim- Thank you so much! That all makes sense. I will go try it. Im pretty sure the skimmer is supposed to be full on. I didnt know that either position was a 90/10 proposition. How do you measure the percentage with that valve. What are the two scenarios I have illustrated...

    Help! Is my Jandy 3-way in the correct position?

    Hi! I replaced the salt cell on my pool yesterday. I think I might have placed the 3-way valve in the wrong position when I finished. My pool has one inlet, one return and the floor drain. I believe thats how the valve should be configured. I know it was either in the position that...

    New Hayward TurboCell: $1700 including labor. Is this normal markup?

    Ok James. Thanks. Your information is invaluable. Im doing this remotely from the home and don't have readings. Only a message from company that I need a new cell. I will be there tomorrow and will get readings (its been so long that I will have to watch a video).

    New Hayward TurboCell: $1700 including labor. Is this normal markup?

    I have yet to ascertain for sure that the quote is for the SAME cell. Moreover, as someone else suggested, the quote MIGHT include the board. I have yet to hear back from the company about that. I have no problem paying for good service and parts. My original post was asking if anyone...

    New Hayward TurboCell: $1700 including labor. Is this normal markup?

    hey all- i havent been able to maintain my pool myself this summer. the pool maintenance company said the cell doesnt seem to be producing chlorine. I think the cell is at least 5 years old. I cleaned it in muriatic acid myself last summer. I guess this is something companies won't do...

    Most rat-proof heater?

    Hi- Can you operate the heater with the mesh on? I've seen this topic discussed on other sites and everyone says to remove all the material when the heater is in use. It didnt make sense to me as I can't figure out how the mesh interferes with operation.

    Re: Just had my liner replaced. Lost 1/2" of water from 8PM til this AM. What next? Hey there. Thanks for responding. The pump was running (the skimmer wasn't though, only the drain). The guys from the company came back today and plugged up some questionable lines and lights. I filled...

    Just had my liner replaced. Lost 1/2" of water from 8PM til this AM. What next? Our pool was constantly needing to be refilled last summer. We had a 25+ year old vinyl liner. My pool service company recommended a liner replacement company and they cut out the old one and installed a new...

    Help! Do I need a $2500 automation system for the functionality that I need?

    Hi there. Yes I do have those two modes. That doesnt really solve my Night/Day requirement which I only want on the weekends. Could I take your solution of a 7-day programmable timer and be able to have the following two states: 1. Heater on with 2 set points. Spa (night) and Pool (day)...
