Jandy Watercolors lights power supply

2 lights need replaced. Trying to determine if they are 12V or 120V. I believe 12V based on this box where the lights are powered from.
Haven't been able to get the cover off due to nearly stripped screws. This box is where the relay would be to reduce to 12V?
Any pics of what I may see inside to confirm 12V?
Thanks.

Need help with light issue

Looks like the shell has had a hydrojet taken to it recently. Somewhat lightly. I’m thinking I read up on it somewhere that you don’t have to go all the way back to gunnite because it leaves an even and uniformly rough enough surface to allow for bonding to the new plaster. Equipment can certainly cut back to concrete though. I think it may be a matter of time vs budget.

I’d like to see further discussion on how extensive of a plaster removal you have to do with a hydrojet from someone who uses one.

Mixed Instructions - VS Pump & SWG

Yup, it is linked to your profile and the button shows...

View attachment 645225

I never need to add liquid chlorine to my pool if my SWG is working correctly.

But I run my pump and SWG 24/7 to always add some chlorine to the pool.

Rain has little effect on the water chemistry of your FC level as long as your pump is running. The dilution is minimal unless your pool overflows out a drain.

If your pump is not running during the rain, you should not do any testing until it runs for a few hours and mixes the water well.

BTW, your CYA is 80, not 75. We always round up.
So just tested. First time testing since starting to fun the SWG. FC actually went down to 4.5. I have been running the SWG 12 hrs a day the last two days at 50% output clearly that's not enough.

I'll start going to 24/7 tomorrow when I can go outside and fix the timer. When do you hit "turbo" on the SWG? Should I do that now to give it a boost? Or just pivot to running 24/7 and keep checking daily?

CC went up a little today but pool looks spotless...I imagine its because I'm low on FC.

Thanks for the answers. What is an MPV? Is that the valve? It's running at 28. I hit the grids with a hose today while in the filter and top off and thought that would do the trick. Not sure what else I can do. I loathe taking the grids out but sounds like I need to.


Yes, you need to clean your grids better.

Hello fellow infected pool owners.

This is a long story how I got sucked into this thing. A neighbor that's into buying and selling property bought a place it was a dog training facility. After after they purchased it they had it for rent and renters were coming in soon. In the back was a beautiful Olympic swimming pool 32 ft x 16 ft with a huge runway deck that opened up into a larger deck on one end of the pool. My neighbor said you can have it all if you move it The pool was two years old and empty.
I wanted the lumber. Along with this deck that was about 30 ft long itself came about 200 ft of wood fence.. have you checked the price of lumber especially pressure treated well I was all in. I didn't want the pool The pool was a pain in my butt I just wanted the wood but the pool had to go to.
Next paragraph I've got a grandson that lives with me who's 10 years old I have more grandchildren but this one sees my every move. When he saw this massive monstrosity of a swimming pool the bribing began. Papa I want a pool Papa can we have this pool Papa can you put this pool up Papa Papa Papa. And what does any adult respectable grandfather do when a grandson wants something that you know is going to be a big cost a big pain and a lot more work on the grandpa's plate?? Well you put up a pool that's what happens. We have a hobby shop My hobby shop is a building that I built that happens to be 32 ft by 16 ft footprint and we don't live on 20 acres so the Olympic pools out of the question however there was a lot of gifts besides the pool but led me to think that it would be a viable option. There was a dolphin robot that came with the deal .. again it was also 2 years old the big pump that came with that swimming pool because I know all of the above ground swimming pool pumps are usually undersized. So I started looking online and quickly found an 18 ft round above ground for 200 bucks it was one season old placed back in its original box with all its parts knick knacks and some extras. I sold the Olympic size pool without a pump so I finally got that thing out of the way it would have been nice but geez the problems I'm having now they would have been times two. We have a 6,000 gallon pool and I believe that one was over 14000 gallons .

My problem...
Now my little 6,000 gallon pool with a 2800 gallon per hour pump you would think you could keep it clean like a glass of water The problem is the diarrhea tree.. actually it's not one tree it's a fleet of trees. As soon as the weather gets nice and up to ride your motorcycle without a leather coat this thing starts to bloom and when the wind blows it blooms right into my pool I'm guessing that the organics is probably where this mustard algae seems to come from last year I emptied my pool twice and refilled it because I just could not get it to clean up. I've spent hundreds on chemicals hundreds with an s I'm not looking for sympathy and I'm really not looking for someone to call me an idiot which I know that I am already for purchasing this small pool and falling for the cute eyes that my grandson uses so well.
We winterized drop the water level covered up and of course with all the rain storms and everything it caved in Crud got in the water and a mess is what I had. About 3 weeks ago maybe four we completely drained it again pressure washed everything disinfected it with Clorox and started the refill. The beautiful party is I'm not buying water we have a well My son lives next door he has a well we are paying for the electricity to run the pump to get the water out of the hole and into the pool but the dangerous thing is every time I feel this 6,000 gallon toy it runs the heck out of my pump it happens to be nearly 300 ft in the ground and if you'd like an estimate on what those cost to replace I'll get back to you..
Like I said within 3 weeks though here I go I noticed it was a little cloudy I told my grandson and I quote hey buddy water looks like it's starting to get a little cloudy he replied no it's just your old eyes Papa. The next afternoon while putting a new roof on my shop's porch I looked over and seen that dreaded yellow color.. I immediately got down got on Amazon ordered some shock because I was out I did have about a third of a container of yellow treatment so I did put some in there brushed it all and left the pumps running to no avail..
I ordered some HTH shock pictured below it won't be here till Friday
The day before that when I seen it was cloudy I ordered super blue concentrate which won't be here till this Saturday. When I seen how bad it was getting I overnighted some shock I could get real quick also pictured. I was watching a video and now have learned that there or not only two different kinds of chlorine which I was aware of the slow acting tablet and powder I thought all powder was the same but apparently it's not this last shock is trichoro s you know the rest too many letters.

I'm just at a loss here everybody says their products the one that works everybody's got their own ideas on how it's done I know it can't be as hard as it is or is it seems to be... I don't pay somebody to cut my grass I don't pay somebody to work on my cars and I don't pay people to paint my house I do everything myself that's the way I was raised and it's the way I'll continue to do things and this problem here I have to just figure out I just don't know who to listen to because anybody that's selling anything is full of BS any help would be appreciated

SLAM

Please help!
Opened pool on Sunday. Had to raise water to filter level. Started running filter once water to level. We had a lot of what looked like dead algae all of the pool bottom, smelly, light green, cloudy water. First time opening ourselves. I read about the SLAM process. I waited til filter ran and tested next day.
FC 2
CC1.5
pH 8.2
TA 140
CH 325
CYA 0
SALT 2800
TEMP 65
We have a salt cell, 30k gal pool unite. Cartridge filter started clean on opening. We have vacuumed and brushed. I know some of the numbers were out of range but the SLAM checklist said CYA to 30 (I added 8lbs granular in sock in filter) and lowered ph. I started SLAM yesterday. CLEAR water today but the CCs are rising and the FC falling. Tonight tested and FC only .6 and CC 3 so I added 3.5 gallons of liquid chlorine per TFP app and then tested 30 mins later and FC same and CC 4! How is this possible?? Please help, Im panicking. I'm using the Taylor test kit and I bought new reagents this year. Im visioning emptying my pool and starting new! Ive been testing since last year. I thought I was getting good at it and saving compared to the pool store selling me nonsense!

old de filter parts

You may try contacting inyopools.
Is this a pentair nautilus plus?


Edit- upon zooming in it appears you have an American titan.
I cannot make out your model but inyo likely has the parts you need.
Here’s a list of some for the titan

Testing a Trisensor for flow with multimeter?

Don't know for sure, but looked at the manual. The flow sensor is just a switch. If it's working, then 2 of socket pins should go from infinite to near-zero ohms when you flex the metal blade so the magnet touches the stalk.

No way to tell which 2 unless you can find a service manual somewhere. But you won't do any damage by trying all pairs.

You might also try to reverse engineer which pins are which. It looks like there are 6. Seems reasonable that there are 2 for each sensor. If so, then this ought to work: 1) look for 2 that connect (1 for each) to the salt sensing blades (don't scratch them) with low ohms. 2) Look for another two that have maybe 10-20 K ohm resistance between them. Those would be the temp sensor. Verify by dunking in cold water to see the resistance change. If you can rule out those 4, the other 2 must be the flow switch.

Pool Water Conservation

Why does it seem few pool owners have large rainwater collection tanks fed from their home roof used to dilute the pool over winter?
This is not common in the US but I have seen a few instances here. Most here who collect rainwater use it in their gardens and such.
Using a secondary pool or bladder for water pump out is also not common here in the states when doing pool resurfacing/liner changes etc. but I have seen it used “across the pond” quite a bit and think its a great idea!

Pressure at 28 is not good. That indicates your filter is dirty and need to be cleaned.

High pressure is bad, not strong. Low pressure is good and indicates little resistance through the filter.

The rubber band test forces the flow switch on. It showed your flow switch works.

Do you have a MPV on your filter?
