Thanks! My bad in regards to the cited Forum Rules & Etiquette 7. I've been a member for a while, but I don't post that often, so it wasn't anything intentionally disrespectful. This is a great site, very informative & friendly, etc., and I'm appreciative that it exists. Again, my apologies.

Hey Chris, thanks for your response above! I think though you meant RJ-60 vs. RK-60? Do you know if this CircuPool RJ-60 is fully compatible with Jandy's PureLink Sub-Panel Power Center? All of my equipment is Jandy, which is now approaching its 6th summer as my install was completed early...

NOTE: Moved from here. I'm looking to replace my 5 year old SWG (Jandy PLC 1400) as I'm again apparently in need of another sensor that has gone bad (continuous "No Flow" reading) according to my pool service company. It was just replaced (Jandy Port Sensor Kit, 3 Port Cell, 16' Cable; Part#...

Chris, Thanks for your response. I'll have to check out Circupool, admittingly, I've never heard of that brand. I have a 32-33k gallon pool, so I'd need to size accordingly, and for a region, Charlotte, NC, that gets a lot of sun and typical temps June-August in the low to mid 90's. So...

It appears I have a bad/defective AquaPure sensor. I purchased it new online (OEM Port Sensor Kit, 3 Port Cell, 16' Cable, #R0452500) last April from an online retailer and had it installed professionally. It was the latest version sensor to go with the Jandy AquaPure PLC 1400 SWG. In the...

On an aside, I think I may have discovered the culprit for my high CC level prior to my shocking last week. I suspected my Polaris 360's float was not working as effective any longer due to it not running optimally. When I checked/unscrewed the float, it was full of green algae water along...

Thanks all...figured no one size fits all. :) Had to drain about 4" of water out of the pool Thursday as we left for Litchfield, SC beaches for the holiday weekend as they were calling for 4-6" of rain in Charlotte. I'm not sure how much we got up there today, but this Tropical Storm down here...

I have a general question. Is there a standard type FC loss considered normal/day during the summer months? Or, are there too many variables like amount of direct sunlight the pool gets, CYA levels, temperature of the water, swimmer load, etc. Our pool during the summer months sits in direct...

Okay. Thanks again for all your help & advice, it's very much appreciated. - - - Updated - - - Thanks for your response...I figured there had to be a reason that made some sense. :confused::) - - - Updated - - - Okay, thanks! I'll keep in the safe zone...or at least try.

Okay...thanks! No cloudiness, etc. the water is very clear. I can see the screw heads on the bottom drains, even with the constant minor ripples in the water from the spa spillover. Our pool is 4 to 6 to 4...drains are in 6' of water. My biggest problem to date (prior to this apparent cc...

Thanks for the boost! Tests this a.m. revealed similar CH results. :)

Okay...I'll give it a try next time. :) In regards to your post above (#64) about my 22 and 30 ppm readings...I was just experimenting with the mentioned palely pink vs. 'completely' clear as those were my first tests I've done using the kit. - - - Updated - - - Got it...thanks! The...

I took a water sample last night around 11 p.m., some half hour after turning off the SWG. I recorded an FC reading of approx. 19 ppm. This a.m. at approx. 8:45 a.m., I gathered another sample to complete the OCLT. I recorded an FC reading of approx. 18 ppm...so I believe at a 1 ppm...

Okay. I just turned off SWG, I'll go out around 11 p.m. to get a sample and do the FC test. Then in the a.m. (before direct sunlight hits the pool...which will be around 9:30 a.m.) I'll take another sample and run the FC again. I trust the kit... :) Thanks!

I ran a test today, I'm not sure how accurate these numbers are as it was my first time doing this. I ran subsequent tests on FC, CC, CYA & CH within a few minutes of each other. (From additional reading, I guess I needed to take additional tests at a minimum of 1 hr. from the previous). I'll...

Thank you!

If I'm running the pump during the overnight for the OCLT, I need to turn off my SWG, correct? And, if so, how long after I turn off the SWG do I have to wait before taking that first/evening's FC test sample? Thanks!

I'm far from the expert, but I believe CYA is CYA and brand is of insignificance. If you don't want to use Leslie's brand, use another pool supply store in your area...or check with Walmart, Lowes or Home Depot. As the season is winding down here on the East coast, the seasonal stores may not...

I Received my TF-100 kit, speedstir, etc. today. However, due to other commitments this evening, I won't be able to conduct any testing until tomorrow. I hope the learning curve on these specific tests is quick...it seems like the CYA one is the most difficult/cumbersome. In regards to the...

I'm all ears! :)

Okay. My SWG is a Jandy Purelink 1400. I get my filter internal grids cleaned out every 6 months as recommended by the manufacturer. The service company also checks my SWG at the same time...to date, cell has always been very clean with no scale build-up, etc. All my EQ is now 2 years old as...

I'm at 60% now, so increase to 70, 75% or higher? Do you mean when PDA reading actually says low salt? What if recommended range is 3200 ppm, but say reading is at 2700 or 2800 ppm (PDA or Aqua-Link Control Panel readout is not saying "low salt") doesn't salt have to be added to get the...

I think you're correct in regards to the lower, minimum operating range. And all along, (based on mine & pool store testing) I have believed that my chlorine was relatively on the high side...a bit confusing. :( As I had indicated, I have not been doing the weekly shock thing this summer...

Yes, it's powdery/very fine granule type stuff that dissolves relatively instantly when throwing it in the pool. If that's not recommended, then what should I throw in in lieu of? Just store brand/Clorox liquid bleach?

As I await my TF-100 (purchased Speedstir & Salt Test Strips as well) I had my pool water tested again this afternoon at a 3rd location. ;) Now, I was getting my haircut today and recalled that this True Value Hardware store did pool water tests. It was the first time I had taken a pool sample...

Thanks! I became a Silver member...once I get the related email, etc., I'll order the TF-100 and save $20.00! :)

I presume you have one PVC pipe coming out the ground to the spa jet pump, and another PVC pipe coming out of the ground to the filter pump. Hence, a suction line and return/pressure line for both pumps. Adding another pump with only one main drain in the spa is what they did, but as I...

Yes, I can isolate the flow and do so with my PDA that engages the Jandy actuators when switching from pool mode to spa mode. As you eluded, the booster pump didn't do anything but move water since there was no secondary suction line coming from the spa. My PB just concocted the plumbing where...

Thanks for rubbing it in. ;):D That's what was supposed to be done with mine too, however, my PB erred big time in the plumbing by only placing one set of drains (so only one suction line in the spa bottom that goes back to the equipment pad) vs. two. Since you're able to keep your filter...

Wicked! :) Love the Retreat in the village of Liverpool. Mother's Italian restaurant was awesome back in the day...too bad it's no longer in business.
