Alright hive mind, curious if anyone has a thought about this. I have a 100 amp 240 volt line to my pool equipment area. I have a Jandy Aquapure 1400 salt system on 240, and a Jandy Stealth pump. I had a century 2 speed pump that I recently replaced with the update version of that pump. I am...

I replaced my 2 speed pump recently but had to go with the old seals since the kit I bought from Amazon was not correct. For the life of me I cannot find the information I need to get the correct seals. The ones from the new kit were too small. The motor did not come with new ones. Thoughts?

I know there are many pool professionals on this forum…so here goes… From a previous thread of mine you will see I am having problems with my 2 speed Century pump. It is old, and amazingly I believe I have sourced a new one that I can get shipped to California despite title 20. Now imagine that...

Pool Pals: My pump is a 230 volt 2 speed AO Smith Century model as listed above. For the life of me I cannot figure out what pump I would purchase to replace it. The badge on the side gives lots of information, but not the HP. It is a square flange pump. I have included the photo here. The pump...

Pool Pals: I have a 2 speed Century/AO Smith pump that must be 10 years old. The low speed is working just fine. The high speed seems to trip some kind of safety or internal breaker when it fires up to help with my pool sweep. The sweep has a booster too. Now, I always run on low speed anyway...

PoolPals: I have been happily using my TFP method for years and year with my pool, and all is well. A good friend had an expensive pool put in with lots of automation. She does not understand her equipment. She has a pool service dumping liquid chlorine in the pool despite having a salt water...

Pool pals: I have an Intermatic P1353ME programmable timer for a two stage pump, and booster pump. It must be at least 10 years old. I also have a 2 stage pump Century AO Smith 2 speed pump. Recently I have been sitting out by my pool, and when the booster and high speed go on, they go for a...

PoolPals: I currently have a 16 year old pool that I love, which is in tip top shape. Thank you Pebble Sheen and Trouble Free Pool. My Jandy Aquapure 1400 continues to function well despite its age. I have replaced the cells every 3-5 years like most folks. But I figure the day will come when...

TFPool Pals: My 13 year old Jandy Aquapure system is throwing the 120, 121 error codes now. I suspect the cell needs to be replaced. Think I got around 5 years from this one, which is pretty good. I acid washed it, and that may have been the final death knell as I open for the season. I think...

TFP Pals: Last year I put a Saltron Mini in my spa. I have a Marquis with an inline heater. This year the heater corroded and died. The spa is 10 years old, and this is the first heater change. I really love the salt water setup, but I am concerned about the corrosion and possible need to keep...

Thanks to this forum my Aquapure 1400 is fixed. I had a 170 error, which says a there is a low voltage in the manual. But, it turns out many experienced folks on this forum have noted that 99 times out of 100 it is the sensor rather than a problem with the board. Jandy now has a 2 pole sensor...

PoolPals: Science is wonderful. Just a quick note to thank the community. I started with TFP 3 years ago. What a difference. This year just a "mini" SLAM to get the pool crystal clear. So nice to know what to do and how to do it. Easy to maintain with the right testing. And, I do the same thing...

PoolPals: I recently converted to the Saltron Mini salt water chlorine generator for my spa. It is working perfectly. Now, with my pool I also have a SWCG, and I never shock the pool. Never. The pool is perfect. According to the instructions that came with my Aquapure 1400, they say that...

Poolpals: Love this site. I have been using the professional test kit and chlorine method in my pool as advocated on this site for a few years, and could not be happier. My pool is gorgeous, easy to maintain, and crystal clear. So, I have decided to try the methods in this site for my spa. I...

PoolPals: Love this site. I just took my first swim of the season in my fabulous crystal clear pool. I have a PebbleSheen surface, and SWG for chlorine. The manual that comes with the SWG states that the pH often will stay around 7.8 with a SWG, and that has been the case with my pool. Also...

Pool pals: So, I wanted to replace my pressure gauge on my Jandy CL-580 filter with a nice gauge I bought from TFT. My assembly is this one. Broke it off while trying to unscrew the pressure gauge. Figures. I easily was able to get the stub piece out of the filter, so no problem there. I...

PoolPals: So much great information here. Just getting ready for the season. Pool is clear. Today's testing: Salt: 3300 FC 5.5 CC 0 CYA 80 CH 300 TA 120 PH 7.6 Now, on the SWG page in the forum it recommends TA to be 60-80. But it looks like a pain to get it down. Do I really hafta? What...

Pool Pals: New to this site, and really am learning a lot! Just got my nice test kit. What a difference. My pool is getting in shape for the summer. I have always done my own pool maintenance, but this year I feel better prepared thanks to this site. Now, one thing I have never done with my...

New to the forum, searched around a bit, but did not see answer to this... I normally just hose off my cartridge filters in my Jandy CL-580. Is there any reason to soak them in TSP, or acid wash?

Pool Pals: I have a nice Jandy CL-580 cartridge filter for my pool. It uses 4 standard replaceable filters in a canister. The whole thing is properly plumbed, that is, the intake goes the correct spot, as does the output. The pressure gauge on the top registers pressure in a strange way...
