    IntelliBrite 5G Replacement

    My 4 year-old Intellibrite 5G light has stopped working and it looks like I won't be able to repair it (no voltage at the terminals on the LED board). 1. If I decide to replace this with a 12V Intellibrite 5G, will I just need to replace the relay? 2. What other options do I have for other...

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G

    Thank you. I will do some research on this. My existing light was white color only, so I need to make sure that this board will work. I would love to hear from anyone that has tried this repair/upgrade to see if the results were good.

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G

    I upgraded our pool light to LED 4 years ago and we decided to go with the Pentair Intellibrite 5G. Unfortunately, it stopped working a couple of weeks ago. Is there a repair kit available for a driver replacement, or would I need to replace the whole light fixture? If it can't be repaired...

    Jandy RS Battery Connection

    My 9V backup battery came disconnected from my Jandy RS PCB, and I can't see how to reconnect it. There is a small screw on the top of the terminal where it should be connected, but it doesn't release the cover. Does that section come off? Here's a photo of the area in question...

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    I found that 24vdc part - same number, just in 24vdc instead of 120vac. Does anyone have knowledge of a reliable dimming relay I can use? When our pool was installed, we had a dimming relay for the spa light, but it have a life of about 3 to 5 years. After replacing it the 3rd time, we...

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    Thanks - figured that was the issue. I guess that means that G7l-2A-BUBJ-CB isn't the part number. Is the number towards the bottom (00911EK) the part number?

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    I have a Jandy RS8 (installed in 2001) and I recently damaged a relay, so I am trying to replace it. I ordered what I thought was a duplicate unit off of Amazon, but it is not functioning (a 2nd replacement unit also did not work). I'm trying to figure out of I am receiving the correct relay...

    Accuracy of Testing Strips

    Thank you all for your input on the test strips. I knew that their reliability was questionable, but I was hoping that they would at least be within the ballpark on a couple of the test. I've already deposited into the garbage can, and I’ll stick with the Taylor method since it’s been working...

    Accuracy of Testing Strips

    I am trying to see if I can simplify my life by switching to testing strips to cover some of the tests that I do on our pool. I purchased a batch of the AquaChek 7-way test strips and I compared it today to the results I got with my Taylor FAS-DPD kit: CL: 14 ppm Taylor vs 10 ppm AquaCheck...

    Correct Sequence to Repair PVC Pool Piping

    I have a 3 foot section of 1.5" PVC in my pool plumbing that I need to replace. It's a tight fit, so I'd like to get advice on the best way to tackle. The left side of this run is fixed (the elbow is glued onto the section of pipe coming out of the valve). The right side is connected to an...

    Jandy Spalink RS Display Not Working

    I can't find availability anywhere on the web and the local Jandy dealer indicated that it is obsolete. I guess my next best option would be to install the iq20 upgrade kit???

    Jandy Spalink RS Display Not Working

    I have a Jandy Spalink RS (8-button, model 7891) that was installed into the rocks/plaster in our Jacuzzi about 15 years ago. The unit is still functional, but the LED display recently stopped working. I can't find any schematics or troubleshooting guides online and it doesn't appear that they...

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    I had the pool technician out yesterday to troubleshoot the heater and he determined that the control panel in the heater is most likely the culprit. The key pad is deteriorated from exposure to the weather, so it was difficult to troubleshoot (i.e. we could not manually put it into spa or pool...

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    I was only able to do the first two steps: P5 pins read 0V P6 pins read 13V Can't find TB1 on the fuse board I think that I've probably reached the limits of my troubleshooting skills on this one. Time to call an expert!

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    The voltage at the fireman's switch" reads 15V with the Aqualink relay closed. I tried jumping the terminal block, but the heater will not fire when I press the mode button.

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    I checked the wiring from the Jandy terminal (terminals 1 and 2) over to the terminal block on the heater. They are both reading 0 V with the heater turned on.

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    It’s an RS6 with the Spalink for the jacuzzi. I probably should have clarified the problem. I’m not able to turn on the heater using the Aqualink. The heater light on the Aqualink turns on (red), but the heater never comes on. I noticed that the standby light on the heater stayed on and does...

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    I am using the Aqualink to control the heater. It was working fine for several years with no problems. I replaced the bypass valve a couple months ago and the heater has worked twice since then. Went to use it last week and it wouldn’t turn on. I haven’t disabled the heater in the Aqualink, but...

    Hayward (H400IDL) Heater Stuck in Standby

    I am not able to get our heater to work and I noticed that the control panel is displaying "standby" even when I set the heater to the pool or the spa. I tried resetting the breaker, but it is still stuck in standby mode. Is there another way to reset the panel or get it out of standby mode...

    Hayward Filter Housing Lock Nuts

    Thank you Lee. I was hesitant to use Teflon tape because the original (20 years ago) install did not use it.

    Hayward Filter Housing Lock Nuts

    I recently replaced the o-rings and bulkhead fittings on a Hayward filter housing (C3020 filters) to fix a leak. Unfortunately, the leak is still there (about 1 drop per minute) and I think it's because I wasn't able to fully tighten the 3" lock nuts. What is the best tool to use to get a good...

    PVC Repair

    I replaced the leaking portion (at the adapter), but unfortunately, there is a very small leak at the joint (about 1 drop per 5 seconds). I am trying to avoid cutting it out and reinstalling it and I wanted to get some input on the effectiveness of a JB WaterWeld or a Leak-B-Gone type of...

    PVC Repair

    I have been searching for the adapter online and it looks like the adapter for this model (Max Flow, SP2800X5) is part of the housing and is not a separate part. Is that correct, or is the parts drawing just not showing it as a separate part?

    PVC Repair

    Here is the area where we have a leak. The connector at the housing mount (where there's pipe dope) is where the leak is. I was going to cut before the 2nd 45 degree elbow (not pictured) and replace everything down to the mount. I'm hoping that that is a threaded connector.

    PVC Repair

    I have an above ground pool that was installed about 20 years ago. The 1.5"/2.0" PVC at the equipment is starting to show its age and over the weekend, I developed a small leak at a pump connection. I have a lot of experience fixing and installing PVC fixtures for landscape irrigation, but I...
