    So four weeks ago we had a Jandy JXi installed at the house. At that time they also needed to install a new gas valve? It looks like it throttles gas to the heater in line not inside the equipment. Anyhow, after they come back and install that they say it works. Well I try it the next weekend...

    New variable pump noticing difference in jets

    Hey gang, I have been working on adjusting my variable pump to get the best bang for the buck. I have noticed at 50% power that two of my jets are not pushing water, but the third one has what looks like normal flow. When I crank up to 70% I get good flow through all 3. Should I be worried...

    Variable speed pump and settings

    Original one speed motor was starting its end of life. It was tripping the breaker off the timer and sounded like a bunch of hamsters were sacrificed to the pool gods every time it did start.
