    New Jandy ePump Variable speed installed, air in basket, cant figure it ou

    I had originally on this setup a Sta-Rite Max E Pro 2hp single speed pump, working fine, no issues with it, no air in the basket, worked fine. Just ended up getting a great deal on this Jandy ePump VSSHP270AUT model. So we went ahead and installed it. Now the Sta-Rite doesn't match piping so...

    How do I remove these jets from the Spa?

    I have a few that don't spin properly under load. Tried to turn it left as hard as I can and not seeing it comes loose. Not a lot of room to grab it with the pool surface digging into my hands. Anyone know how to remove these so I can purchase new ones? Here is the picture I took off my phone...

    Disable solar sensor on Aqualink

    In my quest to find ways to use more JVAs, I want to allocate the Solar JVA to something but my iAqulink keeps telling me that the SOLAR JVA is used when I don't have it connected nor do I have a Solar temp sensor connected. How do I make the system let me use it? How do I disable this? Do I...

    Anyway to control a Jandy JVA based on an aux or something else?

    I have a combo pool/spa with an iAqualink as mentioned in my signature. So its already using the Intake/Return side JVAs for the pool/spa mode. I also have a Caretaker infloor cleaner which is my main return technically. I also have a leaf B gone. These are only "returns" for the pool (well...

    How do you remove a waterway poly jet?

    I have this 8yr old Spa (built with my pool) and I have 6 of these Waterway Poly Deluxe Jets. Different types. Some of them I can turn then counterclockwise to essentially run full flow and clockwise to cut down the flow. But I cannot get the entire jet off. I see some pictures that seem to...

    Controlling Jandy Valves with iAqualink

    Right now I have a setup (as shown in my signature) where my main pump/filter/swcg are all shared by the pool and spa. So when I switch to SPA mode the return/supplys automatically change over as designed. Now I have popup floor cleaners as my main return, I don't really have any other returns...

    Need to shock SWG pool, also need CYA, use Trichlor/Dichlor?

    Just wondering if this a cheaper/feasible option. Im running low on my CYA granules, barely 1lb left, need to order some of that. But was wondering since I need to raise my CYA anyways (its 40ppm right now) and I need to shock my pool, what if I just used Trichlor or Dhiclor (poolcalculator.com...

    Commercial pool pump timers/relays?

    I just took some ownership of maintaining a 110,000 gal reflection pond at our temple here in Atlanta. It currently has a 6 cell (all inline) AutoPilot SWG, has two 2hp pumps going into 3 massive sandfilters (each one I would say is 3ft in diameter). Then there seems to be two massive pumps...

    Jandy JHP 2.0 noisy

    Its my negative edge pump for the spa to the catch basin. I dont use it often (right now since its offseason), maybe once a week just to move the water around. This last time it was way too noisy. So went over there, pulled the motor part off, turned it on, and it was noisy for sure, so I...

    How to mix down Chlorine, whats the calculation?

    This is somewhat of a side topic, not really pool/spa related but I thought it was more of a chemistry question. I cant remember chem101 for the life of me. I have about 9 184oz of 6% Chlorox Bleach (inside my house and in a dark room about 65F) and my wife just ran out of that Chlorox Cleanup...

    Just recently bought this house about 4months ago and fixed/revamped alot of the pool equipment, all of that is listed in my signature. Now since there is no safety cover that was given with the house, nor is there even any anchors in the deck/stone around the pool, theres no easy way to put...

    Any harm in using TSP in bathtub to soak the filters

    I have a Jandy CL580 and it has 4 large Filter Cartridges that are 7" in diameter and 33" tall. I cant find a single trash can or something similar to basically be able to put these in to let them soak in a TSP solution. Most of the round trash cans are only 31-32" tall. My filters are 33"...

    Replace diverter for Jandy Never lube valve?

    I have a combination pool/spa setup on my main pump with a Jandy Actuator on the drain (inake) side of the pump. Here is a picture to get an idea of the setup. Now I have a suspicious feeling that the diverter inside the 3way valve under the JVA is leaking. Because when the pump for the...
