    Upgrade time for pumps

    Hi All, My setup is in my sig. The pumps have been installed since pool was built in 2008. The motors have been replaced by previous owner and they are due again, lot's of noise and grinding sounds from both pumps. I'm capable of doing the replacement myself. I've heard two things and I'm...

    Is it necessary to drain a winterized pool early?

    The only other reason you would drain if it was high, would be int he middle of winter if we had a warm spell and the ice melted, than a lot of rain/snow came, raised the level and it froze. that will potentially bust up some of the brick around the pool edge. Also, depending on where your...

    feel like a pro now, this is my 3rd year of doing the open myself. It was extremely easy to handle now :) The combination of my SWG and bleach to get the pool started is a no brainer. Love this forum and than you all for the help!

    Jandy PL1400 owner - time for a switch IC60?

    I didn't have problems last summer with it, but there were times I needed to add some more bleach. I was running it 24x7 through July and mid august and then kind of slowed down for the latter half of the summer.

    Jandy PL1400 owner - time for a switch IC60?

    The cell is ready to be replace and I'm wondering if the whole system is undersized for our pool. Pool is a little over 40,000 gallons. I looked at a cell replacement and it is around $400. I have a code 170 error, which I'm assuming is the sensor cable but don't know yet. Rather than...

    Clarity continues to improve. I can now see that the main drain has philips head screws...lol. hard to pick up on the camera, but it continues to improve daily now. I've added salt and my SWCG is going.

    Here's my detailed update for those searching. The solution was obvious but if you are new to pools like me required some detective work to put all the pieces together. Here's what I learned. My cleaner system primed fairly quickly and was working effortlessly. My main drain and two skimmers...

    Well. I cant seem to get the main pump to create full suction. The vacuum pump is working perfectly. The main and the skimmers will just not build enough pressure. Im seeing about 25psi on the cartridge filter but i am not getting pressure on the mains and skimmers. I used a drain king on...

    Thank you for the welcome! I did open all the valves and confirmed water was getting in and the filter is full and free of air. But i'm not getting the pump basket to fill all the way up. I took a video and am trying to get it processed show what is happening. I have the returns open to go...

    I had a sig setup before the post created. Logged in this morning and saw it blank, maybe didn't save. Let's see if it shows up now. Pool is some kind of pea pebble on the surface, not vinyl

    Hello everyone, great forum and 1st post. Have been at it for a few hours now getting the cover off and getting all the winterization plugs out of the system. The plugs are out of the skimmer and the return ports in the pool. Also, all plugs our out of the two paramount systems and cartridges...
