    Jandy aqua link 3.0

    I recently installed the iQ30-RS update kit - I was updating from an 15 yr old RS One Touch that had all but died, and now I'm mad at myself for not updating years ago. I really love the update. It was an easy process and went smoothly, though I do generally consider myself to be pretty handy...

    Valve actuator stopped working

    I realize this is a 2 yr old thread, but I recently encountered a similar problem and thought I'd update this thread for the benefit of future people that come across it while searching for a solution as I was. I was able to find and fix my problem. Although I opened our pool a couple of months...

    Pet Health?

    Thanks for the info. I used a good bit of polyquat 60 in the past before switching to BBB this year. Is that a source of copper? Other than that, I don't know of anything we've ever used that could contain copper. I assume we must have some to have tinted our dog's blonde belly hair. We've...

    Pet Health?

    I am interested in adding borates. Of particular interest in my case while researching was this quote from waterbear's post above: We have a Golden Retriever that does currently think the pool is her own private water dish, and has been drinking the majority of her water from it for 5 years...

    Walmart chlorine Yes or No

    I assume you mean 4.26 gals? I bought at Sam's Club here (no Costco in my area) in cases of 3 jugs x 1.42 gal (182 oz)/jug for $8.52/case ($2/gal). Anyone know why the jugs are such an odd size? They don't work out to an even number of liters either. Just curious. I didn't check shipping...

    Considering DIY peristaltic pump, where to inject?

    I installed a Stenner injection pump a few weeks ago. I'm no expert, but everything I read in prep for installing mine suggested injecting after all of your equipment to prevent exposing them to a higher concentrate of bleach. I would guess that by injecting into the multiport, you are still...

    A source for used bleach storage tanks

    Yeah, normally I scrounge for needs like this and find local freebies. I had actually already found a 30 gal plastic drum for free, but really wanted something smaller, and thought I could likely find a 15 drum like this as they seem pretty common: But I stumbled across the ebay container and...

    A source for used bleach storage tanks

    As a newbie reading through many old posts to learn and catch up, I noticed there has often been a need by some for a source of bleach storage containers. Having just recently installed a Stenner pump myself, I'd been in need myself. I set up a 6.5 gal bucket for starters (which gave me a little...

    Lurker coming out of the closet

    I've been trying to read through the masses of posts the past several months to learn. I've refrained from posting until now so that I wouldn't be asking basic questions that have already been answered many times or posting stuff already contributed by others. This is the 7th year for our pool...
