    Anti-corrosion compound on heater sensors?

    I'm about the replace the hi/lo heater sensors (again) and am wondering if putting anti-corrosion compound on them would enable them to last a bit longer. Anyone try that or any reason NOT to try it? Bill W

    Need new equipment pad

    I don't know if this should go here or over in the under-construction forum. If it should be in the under-construction, let me know and I will either repost or move it. The company that built the pool layed down 3 separate concrete pads (about 2-3" thick if it matters) and placed the heater on...

    I'm so confused--pool size for cleaner

    Like so many others here, I'm looking to change my pool cleaner. Had a couple of Polaris 9300 series cleaners that lasted one maybe two seasons. At a grand a pop, that's just too much for so little. Leaning toward a Dolphin Nautilus CC. But I'm seeing some of these advertised for pools 35ft...

    disappearing CYA

    I was testing my water last week and I had a cya of about 60 (maybe a little higher). We had some rain so I tested chloring and CYA yesterday. Chlorine and CYA are now non-existent. I expected the chlorine to disappear because of the rain but I've always been told that I'd have to basically...

    Ditching robots and going manual

    After having gone through 3 robotic cleaners in as many years, I'm ready to jump ship and go back to manual vacuuming. However, we have a cartridge-filter so backwashing isn't really possible plus there is no drain nearby to handle the backwash. So I'm thinking of getting something like...

    Anyone know if parts are available for Polaris 9350 cleaner?

    A couple of weeks ago we had a number of quick power outages. You know the kind, off, then on in very quick succession. Unfortunately our 9350 was still plugged in when this happened. Now it does not work. I took the control unit apart because I know (from experience) there is a fuse on the...

    Which port is the Hi-Limit Sensor on Jandy LXI Gas Heater?

    "No need to mark this, I'll remember which is which.", I said before a myriad of distractions as I was taking the hi/lo sensors out for replacement. Now, of course, :hammer: , I don't remember now which is Hi and which is Low. I *think* the port closest to the heater (the longer one if it...

    Jandy LXI Heater high limit switch issue(s)

    To make a short story long, tried the heater the other day and kept getting "High Limit Fault". Did my research and determined that my limit switches are indeed bad. Got the switch closest to the heater (135deg ?) out with no problem. But could not get the other out. Pulled and wiggled and...

    Yet another problem with iAqualink

    A couple of weeks ago, I went into the app to turn on the spa for the kids. Everything worked fine, got the spa going, heater, etc. A few hours later I logged in via the PC to shut everything down. The problem was that the menu of options that is normally displayed wasn't. In fact, several...

    No power to control panel - Aqualink RS

    Late yesterday evening, I discovered that I have no power to my control panel. The front of the panel says "Aqualink RS" and inside there are a number of buttons but no model number (that I can find). Knowing what I would find, I tried the web-page/phone-app to see if I could connect to the...

    Still Learning TFP and could use some help

    Starting the season (as is I'm sure everyone else in the southwest). Already done the usual, i.e., brush, vacuum, wash-out filters, etc. Currently building CYA up as it is currently 40. Tested PH which is a nice bright red so I know it is 8 or higher. TA is 190. I've added the amount of...

    Polaris 9300 dead--going old school

    our 2yr old Polaris 9300 Sport has died--or at least one of the wheel driver motors (yeah, I took it apart). Manufacturer no longer makes them and there is no replacement. Would have to buy a whole new motor unit for big $$$. For about $100 or less I can get a vacuum head and hose and go "old...

    How to troubleshoot Polaris 9300 sport?

    About 2 weeks ago, one of the rear wheels broke off and I was able to fix it (basically bolted it back to the hub with alum and brass screws). While I had it in dry-dock, I opened up the case thinking that was how I needed to get the broken hub out. As those of you with this model will know...

    "waterproof" LED strips around the pool edge?

    The house we bought at the first of the year was 2 yrs old and the pool was a month or two less than that. All JANDY/Zodiac stuff controlled by iAqualink. One light in the spa and one light in the pool. The iAqualink gave us the choice of colors when we turn those on and the lights are...

    Aqualink or motor?

    We have a pump motor on our waterfall, separate from the pool pump. Centurian 1.5hp. Yesterday morning we were running the waterfall and after an hour or so, the waterfall stopped for a minute or two, then started up again, then stopped. The wife thought I had been messing with her by turning...

    New to TFPC - Need to make sure I have this right

    So we stopped our pool "service" last week and I'm taking back control. This is a new (to us) pool--2 yrs old. 12,500 gals according to the company that installed the pool. Gunite, in-ground pool with a spa. We've had problems keeping the pH and Total Alkalinity constant but think I've...
