    New Equipment choices for filter...

    Yes, I have Jandy RS PureLink so I'll be staying within that brand. And now I realize that I do in fact have a PureLink Chlorine generator control board, although the cell is gone and been disconnected for some years... If I could ascertain that that part of it is ok before buying the cell...

    New Equipment choices for filter...

    So I'm at 15K gallons give or take, and with the new 3Hp VS pump, I'll probably slow run 12 hrs per day, so with that in mind I should probably look to an IC40

    New Equipment choices for filter...

    Thanks Jim - and are you certain that my surroundings can't complicate matters beyond the ability to balance the pool using a SWG? I'm surrounded by other properties with pools and ponds, and there are 15 trees, hillside vegetation all around the pool and the aforementioned strong wind in this...

    New Equipment choices for filter...

    Thanks for all the advice. What I should have said was that algae seemed to be a bigger problem when using DE alone. I don't have any algae problems right now, and I don't have any current readings either - it's cold, the pool is open but not in use, and we're manifesting record...

    New Equipment choices for filter...

    Hello all. I'm about to start renovating my 20 year old pool. I'm also replacing most of the equipment and wondered if it's time to rethink the current filter. I have a Jandy Del60 DE filter currently. Over the last 2 years since we moved in, the filter and I finally reached an...

    Spa Jets always on with the pump

    Thanks again, everyone. Yes, valve now working as manual. The actuator reads with a voltage problem, so I'll see if I can fix, if not I might try one of these...

    Spa Jets always on with the pump

    Thanks Jim It's an Aqualink, old . The actuator was in the switch position ok, either #1 or #2 , so I switched it to the opposing to see if it would move it when the pump was turned on again - just to rule out an issue with the automation. It didn't, so maybe it's dead. I'll have to google...

    Spa Jets always on with the pump

    Thanks so much! OK - 1st image is spa mode. My hardware knowledge is still lacking after a year with this. Rightmost pump is the pool/spa one - the other just for a fountain. The valve on the right turns when mode change requested. I thought that was the suction valve as it's where I...

    Spa Jets always on with the pump

    Hey All - this one is a new one to me, though I'm guessing not to a lot of people. Following a fairly severe storm system here in Southern California (with some much needed rain) and then some days of high wind, I have noticed that the spa jets are on when only the pool is supposed to be...

    In Ground Spa Air Breather Identification

    I assume that when I take this off, you folks are assuming something like this resides inside?

    I've used a pair of pliers before to take the front part off, but nothing else...
