    Just completed a brand new white plaster pool and it has grit and other stuff in the plaster

    I just had an inground, salt pool installed at my new house. I've had a pool before and reviewed everything carefully with the builder. My last pool was gray and I liked that minor discoloration was not noticeable. He said, no problem, white plaster can be cleaned easily. So I went with white...

    Pump makes humming noise and does not pump

    My pool was at first pumping, but making a humming sound sometimes. My pool repair woman was convinced it was the capacitor so she changed it. It kept doing the same thing, then stopped pumping altogether. Just would hum like it was trying to kick on. So she changed the impeller thinking it...

    JANDY Aqualink PDA Programming problem

    Thanks for the advice. I ended up just using my old PDA. But I still cannot get it to schedule cleaning, pumps, etc. It can only turn things on or off. the guy who put it in for me somehow programmed it to run certain things regularly. But I can't reach him to find out how he did that. He used...
