Thanks for your input. I am seeing a similar theme on many forums about Jandys sales and warranty practices. I certainly wont be pushing their products. Just out of curiosity, how many hours does it take you to change a heat exchanger on most pool heaters?. Just wondering if its worth...

Thanks for the info guys. That is interesting about the warranty. And a good selling point compared to Pentair. I still don't understand the science why limiting the flow saves the heater. I assume there is still stagnant water in the heater with all its chemicals. Even jandy brochure...

Hello folks. I am a licensed gas fitter just getting started installing pool heaters and I have a customer who is dead set on buying a Jandy pool heater because a store salesperson told him about the VersaFlo Bypass. I would rather see him install a Pentair Master temp with cupronickel heat...

Hello all. This year I am adding a heat pump to my pool and am basically redoing all the plumbing and electrical for my pool. Currently I have no bonding between any component and I would very much like to get this up to code. I have been reading extensively about pool bonding and think...

I should also note that there Havnt been any bathers yet and it has rained a fair amount.

Hello all. I've had my pool open now for 3 weeks. When I first opened it the water had mild cloudiness but started to clear up pretty quick. After a few days I took my first water sample in for testing and the phosphates were at 470. Ph and alc were normal. Salt and stabilizer were low but...
