    Jandy Valve Actuator - Old vs New

    I have what appears to be a older Jandy valve actuator. I replaced all my plumbing and added new Jandy valves. The new valves have a slightly smaller grooved post where the actuator slides into the valve post. I don't have the old Jandy valves so I cannot use their post/parts. Do I know have...

    Pool Renovation - Contractor Problems

    Here is yet another problem. The new wall they built with shotcrete has a hairline crack from top to bottom, approx 5ft. The opposite exposed side of wall shows a crack at the exact same point. The pool contractor and shotcrete company both agreed to fix it. I went back and reviewed my...

    Pool Renovation - Contractor Problems

    Pictures added to my first post. He isn't asking for more money and is willing to make it right. However, it's just sloppy work the first time around and I feel like he should definitely acknowledge it. If i didn't bring it up, I'm sure nothing would have been done. I don't want to babysit...

    Pool Renovation - Contractor Problems

    My pool renovation is almost complete but I'm very concerned about the final stages given my contractors response to some issues. I've basically built a new pool aside from the existing concrete shell. The contractor installed the coping, a pre-cast made by Pacific Stone and then the tile. I...

    New Skimmer Question

    We are completely renovating our pool and installed two new Pentair skimmers. They installed the tile and the base of skimmers intake opening is approximately 2-3" below the bottom of tile line. Basically, the tile is downsloped into the skimmer. My contractor said this is normal but I've...

    Jandy Aqualink Z4 or Hayward OnCommand?

    I've settled on two automation systems with smartphone control. Anyone recommendations/issues for either? The pool has a Pentair Intelliflo VS pump, Sta-Rite SR333 heater, and I will be installing two Jandy automation valves.

    Need Help Choosing Automation System - StaRite SR333 Heater

    Jandy Aqualink RS6 - Wired All Button Remote Issue

    I called Jandy and they indicated I only need the IQ20-A and not the IQ20-RS. The technician was not 100% sure rather "very confident" I only need the A, even though I gave him my existing model information. It's about $200 cheaper for the A vs RS. Anyone else installed the A with my system...

    Jandy Aqualink RS6 - Wired All Button Remote Issue

    Thank you, did you install either? I have two Hayward SwimPure Plus chlorine generators and two Tcell15's. Does anyone know if the IQ-20 interfaces and gives me a display of chlorine output? Im debating whether I replace the whole control system for $1000 or just upgrade for $500. Any and all...

    Jandy Aqualink RS6 - Wired All Button Remote Issue

    I have a Jandy AquaLink RS6 wired all button remote that has stopped working. Everything else with Aqualink RS is working correctly, including the daily pump schedule. The remote operated properly for several years and then started to randomly turn on and off (all lights would engage on the...

    Pentair Whisperflow to Intelliflo VS

    I have a Pentair Whisperflo pump. Previously, I swapped the one speed motor out for a two speed. I just purchased a new Pentair Intelliflo VS. To avoid replumbing, can I follow the same process and use the new Intelliflo motor/impeller with the old pump/housing?

    Coping Replacement

    I've got a concrete decking, brick coping, and older pebbletech. The pebbltech and tile are in good condition. I'm going to replace the decking with pavers and coping with a precast concrete. My contractor stated that if we repalce the coping, he would have to replace the tile and pebbletech...

    Raypack 407A

    The ground wire by starter was secure, but the plate it was screwed into was heavily corroded with rust. I cleaned to bare metal and it appears the issue is resolved. Seems like the board is a common issue with these heaters. I may just leave the new one installed and not return it. Thanks...

    Raypack 407A

    I've run the heater with remote off and have the same result. First start up is immediate but when it shuts off after 5 minutes, I can hear the sparking. Date code on old PC board is 2005. Burners and igniter don't look rusted or corroded as far as I can tell. At this point, Im probably just...

    Raypack 407A

    All orange wires appear to be fine. Tested as directed. The new board display doesn't show FAN when it shuts off, now it simply shuts off and displays SPARK while attempting to light. It will not reignite unless I turn off the heater and let it rest for a few minutes. Seems like the heater...

    Raypack 407A

    I don't have a power vent. Is this the "PC board controller": http://www.amazon.com/Raypak-013464F-Control-Replacement-Digital/dp/B00C7UG3O8 The manual does state to replace the board with my specific issues. However, I'd rather not spend $250 if it could be another issue. Thx - - - Updated...

    Raypack 407A

    Combustion Chamber and Flue are clear. The filter is clean. The heater works perfectly for a period of time (5-20 minutes) and then randomly turns off (the combustion, not actual power) while displaying "FAN" only. It does this on low and high pump speed. Once off, it does not turn on again...

    Raypack 407A

    I have a Raypack 407A heater that will fire up and run for a few minutes then it stops and displays FAN. Then it does not restart unless by physically turning on/off or by using my control system. Both methods fire up the heater for a few minutes and then same result as above. It is grounded...

    Need 2 SWG's

    Yes, they are plumbed side by side due to space and previous setup. I was already considering upgrading to a Pentair IntelliFlo variable speed pump. Then I could adjust to speed necessary for proper operation of both SWG's. Sometimes the SWG's work on the low speed, but most of the time they...

    Need 2 SWG's

    I installed the second SWG (Aqua Rite with T-15) and I'm running into difficulties with them. When running on a low speed of my 1 HP Pentair Whisperflo one or both SWG's will have a flashing "Check Salt and Inspect Cell" which eventually becomes a solid light. When running on the high speed...

    Mustard Algea? Large Pool

    I've waited 5 days and FC is still 16ppm. I know my pool is very large. Is that why its taking so long for the FC to drop? I also turned off my SWG to help. I took sample to Leslie's to confirm chlorine level and they told me it was 4ppm. I asked if they could test for FC above 4 ppm and...

    Mustard Algea? Large Pool

    I followed the Mustard Algea directions (http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/148-mustard-algae) and completed the SLAM process by maintaing FC of 24ppm. Then, this chart (http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/2177-Chlorine-CYA-Chart) illustrates a Yellow/Mustard Algea shock level of 34.9ppm...

    Mustard Algea? Large Pool

    I've completed the SLAM process and raised FC to 34ppm for the last 24 hours based upon Chlorine/CYA Chart. Assuming the aglea is gone/dead and I let FC drop to normal, how long will it take return to safe swimming levels? I understand every pool and scenario is different based upon variables...
