I ran my older Jandy cell with a 120 error for the entire winter last year...it produced 1/2 of the chlorine. On mine it would switch to 121 when I reversed the cable, so it was my cell. I bought a new cell and waited for the pool to warm up enough to need more than the half working cell could...

I am not an electrical expert by any means - so I don't have any more help I could offer. I had my wiring checked by an expert just to make sure I was doing things correctly...perhaps there is something we both missed that would work properly. My issue was trying to get the acid pump to share...

I run my robot with a cover - the cord fits in the corner where the cover bar hits the coping - there is usually a small area to easily fit the cord. The bar can also close on the cord without issues - I try not to do that. My original cover for many years was always a tiny bit crooked on...

The tiles have very little grout - less than 1/8" between tiles. I think it is due to expansion.

My tile problem has returned - almost 6 years later - two of the big tiles are lifting when they get hot - so I am guessing a bit of expansion. If I put pool water on them they lower down. I am thinking this time I might use a good waterproof adhesive like Lexel and just DIY the fix... My idea...

I have done Instant Hot with RO in a few locations over the years - but I am no longer a fan of RO...I think it is overkill for average municipal water. You can go with a dual handle filter faucet and connect the RO final carbon polish filter output line to both the cold water side of the dual...

We are finally in need of replacing our green Cover Pools fabric - it has lasted 7-1/2 years... I think I could limp along a few more months, but it is starting to rip along one side at the rope webbing attachment. We are going to have the take up spool lowered an inch or so to prevent the...

I wired mine to my Control Box - I used an extra knockout on the side of the box and wired a connector up to the 120v powered section on the inside of the control box. I put the Saltron Mini Box on the outside of the Tub and ran the power wire to the control box. I crimped and installed a...

I have had strange things happen with scheduling. A few times if I change a program - in this case the days it is set to run - from M-F to all Days or something else it doesn't always change. What I have started doing is adding a new item with my new intended schedule - then I delete the old...

My white Jandy lights failed multiple times - I am on a set of the "longer" lasting watercooled version now - they have worked for a few years (we hardly use them anyway) which is much better than the older units. That cracked lens on the OP unit would certainly make them fail. I have looked at...

I was thinking of putting a clear silicone strip on the tile slope to prevent water from easily spilling out. Using some of the stuff that can seal glass shower walls/doors. I have seen some called threshold shower dam - but I never tried it. My other idea is to rig up some sort of moving...

I ended up getting a bunch of Hyatt points refunded to me after I complained about a super cloudy pool at one of the nicest hotels in San Diego a few years ago. I put my feet in while just sitting on the side and I couldn't see them!!!

Honestly, besides the FC being too low at 3, the rest of your numbers look pretty good for now. PH is fine in the 7's - don't touch it as it will rise up naturally. When PH rises over time, and you add more acid to lower it, the TA will slowly drop - there is no need to focus on the TA level at...

Can you tell us how you are getting a 120 ppm CYA reading with your K2005? That would be very helpful. I have a K2005 - along with a TF100 - and I know that you can't measure the CYA directly at 120. Lots of members are here to help, but we would need more information.

My only hope to keep mine from corroding too quickly is to add dielectric grease to the pins when I do my anual work on the filter and check the cell... I am fighting a partially failing cell right now - one side is still working, so I am just doubling my normal % and seeing how long it lasts -...

I guess I should have done this earlier...just installed some new rings on my Dolphin Robot and it is crazy how fast it now moves and how much better it climbs and cleans the waterline. I didn't think much about it until reading a repair story - decided maybe my 7 year old Robot could use some...

Not sure I could clean out my vault with just a vacuum - it would fill it several times, and the stuff gets matted and under the big roll of vinyl and I have to scrape it to get it all out. What about when you need to replace stuff?

You will need to clean out the "pit" so I am not sure a couple of holes like you have is enough...I move my coping stones completely out of the way to clean it out - and I fill several buckets with debri every year. Plus you will need to get a new cover fabric at some point. Do you have a way...

Maybe a good amount of Plastaid to repair the cracks, and a large hose clamp to help support the repair, would help you get by for a little while...

I am having a similar problem with my almost 7 year old PLC1400 - We reversed the 3 prong power cord and the code switched from 121 to 120. We added a tiny bit of extra salt (I had a little left over) to bump up my salt ppm numbers a bit - and I am planning to do a quick acid cleaning of the...

Hooking up the control line in tandem with the pump relay, always tripped the pump breaker... Even with some professional electrical help it wouldn't work. The pump Relay has a shared line going to the SWCG already (so it is protected from turning on when the pump is off), and the consensus was...

I have my timer set to the minimum the Jandy system allows - 1 minute. I am using 14% acid - and I am also diluting it 1:1 - so I have around 7% acid I am dispensing. I typically needed about 16oz of 14% acid a week for my pool, due to high TA fill water. So I need 32oz of my diluted mix every...

I have this exact problem - it used to happen during hotter weather, but after getting it to happen for the Jandy area rep he sent me a new TriSensor, a Aquapure board and a bunch of other things were done, including re-doing several of the 4 conductor connectors. The firmware was also updated...

Decided it is time to get ready for pool season - so I started doing some cleanup and checks. The keyed safety pool cover switch was failing - only one direction worked - so I ordered the little Allen Bradley 800F-X10V switches that my cover setup uses (I replaced one a couple of years ago)...

I haven't had any issues with the edges or steps - the depth and color change makes it pretty obvious. We have a sport pool, so no deep end per say - and we have a long bench along one side. All are very easy to see. edit: I know one or more people have had some additional glass or abalone put...

I think I might know why the issue is being brought up - the Primera Stone finish is heavily polished after install, the tile would need to be at just the right height to be able to polish around it, and not damage the tile. They will be using polishing pads to "grind" down the plaster finish...
