Have had a Dorado for a few years now. Other than replacing the skirt seal, and pulling large leaves, Mango seeds, and a few small branches, it does well. Time to replace the skirt seal again, and since I was on here looking for other stuff, figured I'd ask. We have an oak, and a Mango tree...

Before i go full crazy/over kill, looking for some direction/suggestions... I have a 13500G in ground pool, with a single speed 3/4HP, Jandy CS150 Filter, and a Jandy TruClear SWG. have a plain Intermatic panel 40A panel with transformer for the 2 lights. It works well, and in the 3 years...

Just ordered mine. I called to see why the cartridge pack only had 1 of the C5 (30 day) and 2 of the C2 (60 day)...apparently, they're expecting the C5's to come in the next few weeks, so i guess it's their way of controlling stock. Excited to see how it comes...

TruDose Chemical Controller | Jandy - Right in the "perfect partner for Jandy salt systems". In the manual it also shows the connection to the AquaPure, and the TruClear XL. (which I can't find any info on). The TruClear has a RS485 option, so maybe it's just a misprint...

Filter was not going to be changed, and is not "locking" me in. the SWG is sort of the only thing, but seems that if I want to do an acid feeder, I have to make a change. Jandy version seems to require too much dilution of the Acid, and since I'm adding 2 cups a week on average, that would...

The Jandy manual said it needed the AquaPure, not sure if it can be "skipped". My FC levels are ok 2.5-4 so not too concerned. pH is the one that needs help, and having to add 2 cups a week is getting old.

I thought I was sort of stuck because of the true clear SWG. Need to see since most of the acid feeders I find "need" a particular SWG so may not really be stuck. Hate how my original $2k estimate is now turning into a > $3k hit with acid feeder, new SWG, etc... :).

I am staring to go down the automation path, and found some interesting things on the acid feeders. The Pentair recommends 1:1 dilution for "full strength" muriatic acid. The Jandy TrueDose says 4:1. What does "full-strength" mean? if I buy 31.45% is that already 3:1? (give or take) Are...

I figured the motor was not working at full capacity, as the flow was very low, and even a weak pump can build up pressure over time. I have a new filter on the way, and decided to run a quick test. I pulled the filter completely out, and ran the pump. Pressure was down to practically nothing...

I've had our pool now for about 2.5years. It's mostly Jandy, so I think I'm looking at the Jandy Aquiline RS. I'm trying to put together the shopping list, and wondering if I'm missing anything. My current setup has an Intermatic box with timer and 2 switches (pump, lights). I'm guessing I...

Hi, I have a pool that's a little over 2.5 years old. At less than a year, the original pump started failing, where the pool vac (Dorado) would not move, the pressure in filter housing would get up in the 20 PSI (with new filter). Turned out it was a seal in motor, which they replaced under...
