What is NJSPC? Thanks.

Looking for a bit of help. I'm running a new Polisy from Universal Devices and available is JSnode server which is supposed to interface with the Pentair Pool controller. I can install the node server and the node appears in my control panel. However, no data is transferred from the pool...

I'll try the cold water trick. Easy way to test.

Easy Touch air sensor has only moved 1 degree up or down in the last couple of days. Actual temp moved about 15 degrees day to night. Is it on the way out? Not showing any error messages. About 10 years old. The sensors seem to be about $20 on amazon. Any thoughts appreciated.

I've had the same issue. Following...

Any pump suggestions? I think I can configure the PVC.

Great idea - submersible pump!! Thanks.

So, we have had a couple weeks of sunny 95+ here in NC. Pool is perfectly balanced. Now it is just hot- rising to 90 in the full afternoon sun. I could just run well water hose into the pool for a few hours a day, but that would change chemical makeup. No "ball jet" returns as I have an in...

Assuming it is standard 120 volt incandescent light, you could use some sort of automated switch - maybe Alexa compatible or otherwise. Just an idea.

Looks like a 3/4" od pipe will fit? Any ideas on something premade or will I need to fabricate something? Should I use a 1/2 PVC and some sort of gasket? Thanks.

That is an old X10 remote control switch. It can be replaced with a standard light switch if desired. I used those many years ago. Remote control tech has changed over the years.
