hahahah, Good call, we are in Peoria off the 17 and Peoria Ave.

Hello All, We continue to have issues with losing prime in our pump. I had posted about this earlier and we thought we found the problem, but it appears that we have not. It is now time to call in a professional to take a look and let us know if we have a pipe leaking somewhere, a bad pump or...

You can absolutely do this, I did but as some point out there are valves you need to add. I have some good writeups on how I did this myself almost exactly how you want to do it. https://www.hackster.io/user3424878278/pool-fill-control-119ab7

Just some feedback - thank you for the help, it is greatly appreciated. Even following your instruction did not work. Ultimately I found that a connector from the Autopilot system to the suction side of the pump lines was cracked and drawing in air preventing the pump from priming. After...

Hello, my fellow Pool Friends - I had a weird issue and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some ideas before I dig up my entire pool. About 5 or 6 years ago we replaced our pool pump, filters, valves, etc, and also switched to salt water. The pump is a Pentair IntelliFlo VF 3HP pump...

Thank you @PoolStored - I will stick with gluing them!

Mark - Thank You for that, I got the 2" - 2 1/2" ones!

You replied while I was writing my reply! Thank you that is exactly what I was looking for!

Wow thanks for the super quick response. So they are 2” internal on both sides and will work with 2” piping correct? Also I was going to install screw couplers this time for easy removal if I needed to, is the 2 1/2” couple on the valve standard or does Jandy sell the couplers as well. I glued...

Hello Everyone - The time has come to replace my valves on my pool lines and I was looking at the Jandy NeverLube valves. Unfortunately it looks like they only offer these valves in a 2 1/2” to 2” size. All of my piping is 2” on both sides of all of my valves. Is there some reason that Jandy...

No worries, the guy that I deal with all the time said they had no sale like that so I am sure it was a regional thing. I use them when I have too but here in Phoenix unless there is a big sale going on, Home Depot is usually my best bet. Even using Leslie's "bulk", refillable 12.5% containers...

Thanks, everyone for all the great information. I ordered 20lbs of 100% Cyanuric acid off Amazon, will be here on Tuesday. Once it arrives I'll run my CYA up to 30 and then SLAM at 12 - 14. I tend to see a lot of FC drop during the day but then it has been 115 - 119 degrees here in the day. I...

Perfect, I will adjust the CYA to 30 and go from there. The suggested CYA for SWG is 60 - 80 (as an end result) or should I target that or just 30.

You are right, the limit on my test kit is 30, so it may not be zero. Right now I have already started the SLAM process so should I go ahead and try and raise CYA while in the process? I don't want to stop now that I have started. It has been a long time since I needed to add absolutely...

Opps, sorry guys. Turns out the ACID at Home Depot is 12.5%, the HDX bleach is only 10%

Yeah, we used to use Fry's but they are still limiting us to 2 gallons and our Fry's does not have the 2 pack. For the same concentration level (in FC, 10% required vs 12.5%) the HDX is $2.00 more overall, and they don't care how many I buy :-) This is the first time we have had to SLAM in 5...

Well, it has been awhile since I have posted. My boys and I rebuild our entire pool system a few years ago and I wrote all my own software to manage and maintain it. We converted to SWG and never looked back. Now years down the road I have hit my first problem. In the last five years we have...

Wow, seems like a great price. I just called our local Leslie's and they said no sale. $21.99 for four gallons @ 10%. He said they have no sale that he can find, but I am in Arizona so it might be a regional thing. I have been getting HDX 12.5% from Home Depot for $3.50/gallon with my Veteran...

Thank you!!

We have a 33,000 gallon IG plaster pool and it has been years since it has been resurfaced. It is now starting to flake off all over the place and the wife and I are talking about getting it resurfaced. We are looking at either plaster again or something like pebbletech. Was wondering if anyone...

Yes, you guys are correct, it is for a pH and Orp sensor. I think I found one. Josh at SaltWaterGuys has them.

Hey guys - I too am working on a pool automation project and have come quite far with it. I have a rather long write up on it at HACKSTER.IO so I won't bother to replicate that here, but I was looking for people doing this to try and bounce ideas off of for automation. In my case, my setup is...

Just a quick update on my project. I have continued to expand my pool automation system and have added acid level detection and alerting, the ability to turn on and off alerts via email, pushbullet, logging, debugging and SMS, and added solar monitoring of my system so I can make intelligent...
