After reading the excellent thread started by Mark (@mas985) ("]Homemade Acid OR Chlorine Injection System), I've decided to embark on my own take on this. If its successful, I plan on making a post or updating the original (its been quite since end of last year so may want to consider it...

Basically my 3-way is working like an xnor gate when I'd like it to be a xor gate. If both switches are on or off the light is on. If they are opposite the lights are off. Other than flipping a switch upside down, can this be fixed? It's a minor annoyance for some lighting around my pool deck...

Hi all, Since successfully completing my first slam a while back (MANY, MANY thanks Needsajet), i have some questions around minimum FC. Sorry if i choose the wrong forum section... 1. For my CYA (60), FC chart says minimum is 5ppm, target 7ppm. Does this mean that when it drops below 5 i...

Pool was looking a little dirty today so I threw in the vac and swept the walls. While sweeping saw a lot of "brown" dirt move about. Water has been slightly cloudy since. Can still see the bottom but it's not sparkling. Doing an OCLT to see what happens. FC was a little under my min for...

Hi all (the fun never ends!) This year has been really hot and I've noticed that I've had to refill more than usual. I don't suspect a leak as some days there is no level change while others an inch or more of loss between checks (24-48 hrs). Pump runs on a 24hr/day (on a timer for different...

Hi all. Hopefully this is an easy one to solve! This year, when trying to vacuum my pool with my manual vac, when I use my Hayward Skim Vac adapter (the circular plate that covers the skimmer basket), very shortly after it starts pulling water, I get a massive air bubble come back through the...

Looking to make a solar heater this summer. Not sure what the feed back here is for those. Really just going to coil 100' of irrigation line and let the sun do its work. Hoping only for a few degrees, but the more the better. Was thinking of using a solar powered fountain pump. That way, it...

Another season, another repair.... During pool startup my Jandy lite 2 was giving error codes (different codes at different times). Pool heater tech said it was my heater control assembly (R0366200). Just got it from ups and installed and the heater worked on first try! Now for the...

recently had a hayward 3200vsp installed to replace a 1hp jandy stealth. Since installing the new pump the gfci in my basement keeps tripping randomly. I recall this only happening once last year, but since replacing the pump it happens regularly. It doesn't trip while priming or running at high...

Hi everyone, finally made the plunge and upgraded to a VSP After many long delays and challenges, we finally got it running last night. Once i got it to prime, it worked great at higher speeds, and so much quieter than my old Jandy Stealth and achieved full prime (no air)! I then decided to...

Hello, I was planning on going out to buy a new pump (hayward super pump vs sp2600vsp - 1.5") and a new filter (hayward s244tl - 1.5") but took a look at my heater (Jandy Lite2) and it uses 2" piping. If i understand everything, my curret setup is 2" from my pump to heater and heater to filter...

Hi again all Last year I battled (and lost) trying to get my jandy 1hp stealth (jhpu1.0cnd) to fully prime. It always had some air in the basket. Now that the harsh winter is over, I'm not sure if it survived. Pool opens in 2 weeks so I want to be ready. Last year the pump ran 24/7. Our...

One end of my cover came loose and feel into the pool. It wasn't secured to the plywood used to give the stairs a solid platform. I'll need to screw it down shortly. The loose end went under the water line and now I think there is too much water above th cover and too little below. The sides...

Hi everyone So the wife and I have hired an interlocking company to entirely redo our backyard around our existing pool. They will be leveling the entire yard and replacing all existing sod with either new sod or interlocking. Question - what do we do with the pool? Do we leaving it...

I spoke with the previous pool owner and he said it was usually 16psi. Since I got it, it would be at 15 or just under after backwash. At the beginning of the season the gauge was replaces as it wasn't working. Today, I looked and its down under 13psi. I checked the usual suspects; closed...

Hello, I believe i have a crack underneath my Jandy ST-T filter. The reason i suspect a leak is that there is always water behind the filter on my pad. I do not see any other sources where the water could be coming from. Is it possible to fix a crack? I know water is leaking from...

Hello, first I want to say thank you for such a great community on this site! I'm new to pools and recently moved into a house with a 6 or 7 year old vinyl pool. The company I went with to open the pool told me they couldnt get a full prime in the pump but that it was "good enough". This past...
