Pool pals: I have an Intermatic P1353ME programmable timer for a two stage pump, and booster pump. It must be at least 10 years old. I also have a 2 stage pump Century AO Smith 2 speed pump. Recently I have been sitting out by my pool, and when the booster and high speed go on, they go for a...

PoolPals: I currently have a 16 year old pool that I love, which is in tip top shape. Thank you Pebble Sheen and Trouble Free Pool. My Jandy Aquapure 1400 continues to function well despite its age. I have replaced the cells every 3-5 years like most folks. But I figure the day will come when...

TFPool Pals: My 13 year old Jandy Aquapure system is throwing the 120, 121 error codes now. I suspect the cell needs to be replaced. Think I got around 5 years from this one, which is pretty good. I acid washed it, and that may have been the final death knell as I open for the season. I think...

TFP Pals: Last year I put a Saltron Mini in my spa. I have a Marquis with an inline heater. This year the heater corroded and died. The spa is 10 years old, and this is the first heater change. I really love the salt water setup, but I am concerned about the corrosion and possible need to keep...

Thanks to this forum my Aquapure 1400 is fixed. I had a 170 error, which says a there is a low voltage in the manual. But, it turns out many experienced folks on this forum have noted that 99 times out of 100 it is the sensor rather than a problem with the board. Jandy now has a 2 pole sensor...

PoolPals: Science is wonderful. Just a quick note to thank the community. I started with TFP 3 years ago. What a difference. This year just a "mini" SLAM to get the pool crystal clear. So nice to know what to do and how to do it. Easy to maintain with the right testing. And, I do the same thing...

PoolPals: I recently converted to the Saltron Mini salt water chlorine generator for my spa. It is working perfectly. Now, with my pool I also have a SWCG, and I never shock the pool. Never. The pool is perfect. According to the instructions that came with my Aquapure 1400, they say that...

Poolpals: Love this site. I have been using the professional test kit and chlorine method in my pool as advocated on this site for a few years, and could not be happier. My pool is gorgeous, easy to maintain, and crystal clear. So, I have decided to try the methods in this site for my spa. I...

PoolPals: Love this site. I just took my first swim of the season in my fabulous crystal clear pool. I have a PebbleSheen surface, and SWG for chlorine. The manual that comes with the SWG states that the pH often will stay around 7.8 with a SWG, and that has been the case with my pool. Also...

Pool pals: So, I wanted to replace my pressure gauge on my Jandy CL-580 filter with a nice gauge I bought from TFT. My assembly is this one. Broke it off while trying to unscrew the pressure gauge. Figures. I easily was able to get the stub piece out of the filter, so no problem there. I...

PoolPals: So much great information here. Just getting ready for the season. Pool is clear. Today's testing: Salt: 3300 FC 5.5 CC 0 CYA 80 CH 300 TA 120 PH 7.6 Now, on the SWG page in the forum it recommends TA to be 60-80. But it looks like a pain to get it down. Do I really hafta? What...

Pool Pals: New to this site, and really am learning a lot! Just got my nice test kit. What a difference. My pool is getting in shape for the summer. I have always done my own pool maintenance, but this year I feel better prepared thanks to this site. Now, one thing I have never done with my...

New to the forum, searched around a bit, but did not see answer to this... I normally just hose off my cartridge filters in my Jandy CL-580. Is there any reason to soak them in TSP, or acid wash?

Pool Pals: I have a nice Jandy CL-580 cartridge filter for my pool. It uses 4 standard replaceable filters in a canister. The whole thing is properly plumbed, that is, the intake goes the correct spot, as does the output. The pressure gauge on the top registers pressure in a strange way...
