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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I recently installed a Pentair Intellibrite 5G light in my spa (I have the same light installed for my pool) and I would like to add dimming functionality since the spa light is blinding us. I used to have dimmer relays installed - they worked well, but they were prone to early failure. After...

I have an inground pool with an attached built-in spa. Last year, I had our pool light replaced with an LED (Pentair Intellibrite 5G) and this year I decided to replace the spa light as well with the same Pentair light. I was looking to save some cash, so I decided to do the work myself. I...

Hello - I have a Jandy Aqualink RS6 controller for our pool/spa and I would like some recommendations on how to implement some automation so that I can control the features from my smart phone. 1. What are the options for upgrading the controller of adding a device that would allow me to add...

I recently replaced a fill valve in the autofill unit (it was 15 years old and was leaking). I used a Fluidmaster 400A which seemed to be one that was well built and rated favorably. There is a leak somewhere in the valve - I have the tube out of the autofill unit so that I can check to ensure...

I came back after being out of town for several days and found that my chemistry was way off: CL = 0 pH = 7.0 TA = 60 CH = 150 CYA = 20 I made the mistake of trying to adjust everything at once by adding 1.5 gallons of liquid chlorine and about 3 pounds of Clorox pH Up. This is for a 15,000...

I have an in-ground pool with an attached jacuzzi and we started getting foam in the jacuzzi a couple of weeks ago. The pool chemistry got out of balance, but now it’s back to “normal”. Before: Cl = 0 PH = 7.2 Alkalinity = 70 Ca Hardness = 120 Cyanuric Acid = 0 I was using liquid Cl...

I have a Hayward Spa Light (Housing = SP-601, Fixture = SP-529HSL) that requires a bulb change every 1 or 2 years and I wanted to check if there was a newer model that would fit in the same hole that is more reliable. Has there been an upgrade on this light? I would love to upgrade this to an...

I have a 15K gallon in-ground pool and I can't get the Cl level to drop. It's been over 20ppm for about 2 months. I use 3" tabs in the skimmer and I alternate in with liquid CL about every 3 or 4 applications. I shock the pool with 68% Calcium Hypochlorite about every 2 or 3 weeks during the...

Our in-ground pool pump (Hayward Super 2) would not start this morning - the switch turned on, it hummed for several seconds, and then shut off. I replaced the start capacitor since it was only registering around 60uF, although there were no signs of it being damaged. I decided to do a pump...
