    Lighting Question

    Just a thought, but take a look at these on Ebay. Item number: 140252243016 They come on a string and can have other strings added. Jeannebbooks

    New Photos of Deck and Pool area

    I really like this! I see you're in Louisiana. So am I. I looked at the website but didn't see prices or where to purchase. Is it something that a pool builder has to get through a distributor or can anyone buy it? BTW, your pool and deck look really good...and that's a hard thing to do here...

    Thanks! It's been a struggle to get the pool back in shape and I honestly couldn't have done it without all the information I've gotten here. Apparently the pool had electrical problems from the start which caused all kinds of other problems and we didn't know it. When Hurricane Katrina came...

    It's still on its way to being an "A" but it's a looooooooooong way from the "F" we started with in June. Pool school rocks!! :goodjob: jeannebbooks 18,000 gallons inground irregular shape, AquaLogic SWG, Jandy CL 340 filter, Jandy pump, waterfall with new Hayward Power Flo pump. new...

    Ready to jump in and drown in my swamp

    I'm new to this forum, but I have learned so much from it. If I can offer any advice, let me assure you one month ago I was where you are now. Every day was a battle with a swamp green, nasty pool that defied anything we did to it. Between wanting to "jump in and drown in my swamp", my family...

    Check system: low volts

    Well, it's been a day since the utility company came and did emergency repairs. They still have to make permanent repairs at the street level and I thought that might happen yesterday, but it didn't. The problems, though, (cross your fingers!) seem to be resolved. We ran the waterfall most of...

    Check system: low volts

    Thanks for all the advice. An electrician came out and looked, and left bewildered. He really wasn't familiar with the AquaLogic system, but he hooked and unhooked things and kept testing the volts/amps and showed me how they weren't what they were supposed to be. The waterfall pump would get as...

    Check system: low volts

    Titanium, I'll gladly do that.We're having out daily thunderstorm right now so it will be later before I take those pictures. 240 volts is more than I want to play with. Besides, teaching for many years has left me little hair to spare (what didn't turn gray, turned loose!), so I have no urgency...

    Check system: low volts

    This seems to be part of the "never ending story." This morning I talked to 3 electricians who told me to call pool guys (even though they advertised pools and spas in their ads) and 2 pool guys who told me to call electricians. Finally one electrician came out, spent about an hour, checked...

    Check system: low volts

    As for the intermittent communication between the remote and the base unit - where are you when it won't communicate- the way these things work, there are dead zones in the signal being sent (think of ripples from a drop of water in a still pond - at the nodes you won't get the signal) - next...

    Check system: low volts

    Again, thanks! This morning the remote(inside) unit said: Volts +24.69 Amps +5.46 Temp 83 Instant salt 2800 When we turned on the waterfall, the system showed "low volts/ chlorinator off". We went to the outside unit's diagnostic menu and attempted to turn it back on while the...

    Check system: low volts

    Thanks for the response. Interestingly enough, we've wondered if the SWG has ever worked correctly. (we've had the cell checked, cleaned it, and checked again) . This year getting the water clear and balanced has been a struggle. All the pool stores say is "Well, ever since Katrina..." So...

    Check system: low volts

    We installed a replacement pump for the waterfall. We had a Pentair Dynamo 1 horsepower and replaced with a Hayward Power Flo 1 horsepower (same amps/same volts, etc.) Everything went fine until...The pump was primed and water came out the top of the waterfall as it was supposed to. Then it ran...

    Pressure gauge removal

    Thanks for the help. Apparently the salt, heat, and who knows what else had it really seated. However we managed to get it out of the housing and I'm off to get a replacement. And, by the way, now that I'm not outside typing in the dark, I'll correct my spelling errors. :oops: Reading the...

    Pressure gauge removal

    Quick question please. We have a Jandy CL 340 filter with a nonworking pressure gauge. In order to replace the gauge, it has to be removed. We can get the whole assembly/housing off, but can't get the air gauge out of it. We've read all the books and nothing gives that info. Are we missing...
