Hi, Noticed the spa was on the other day, and it said it was on cooldown. Three hours on still cooling down, even though the heater was not on. Reset the breakers and it stopped. Today, spa was on again, again 'cooling down', and the aux spa jets were randomly turning on and off. So, this...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated! Also checked the Aquapure and saw a service light. Code 125 and 194. Cell looked clean when I installed. I could give it a dip in Muratic acid. I fear I bought a bad cell :( Will clean the contacts and see if that might help. Swept the pool and put...

OK, have an older (square cell) Aquapure rig. About 6 months ago the cell started looking pretty gnarly inside. Warped / broken grids, and was getting error codes @ the LCD inside the control unit. I had replaced the sensor about 2 years ago, so it looked like the cell was due for a...

Unfortunately, our Leslie's says they can test Hayward Aquarite, but not Jandy Aqualink.

Hi, I have an old square aquapure cell in my pool, and got a used cell with the newer sized ports as a replacement. Before I change the plumbing, I'd like to know if there is a way to test the new cell. Would be sad if the new (used) cell turns out to be worse than the cell I currently have...

Hi, Have a new crawler, and am trying to connect the 1.5" hose to the suction port. Hose too big, port too small :( Am thinking to get a adapter to sleeve down the hose to 1.25". Any thoughts on where to get/best adapter? Thanks!

Taylor K-2006

OK, used the Taylor kit that just arrived today. Here are the results: pH 8.0 Ta 100ppm Calcium hardness off the scale CYA off the scale Thoughts?

Have not tested water yet, but saw my pool guy yesterday. He said that the Chlorine was down and advised cleaning the chlorine grids - I'll do that Saturday. Also noted too much alge, so I put some pool shock in to kill that - looks better, but the spa floor is still full of whiteness. I'll...

OK, it's white, and on the spa floor :-D Any thoughts on how to deal with it? thanks!

I don't have a vaccum, using a pool cleaner service, but can get one... Using the pool brush doesn't seem to dislodge it though.

Hi, Have a inground pool with attached spa. The DE filter had a problem for a while and blew DE into the spa, and then into the pool, where it served as a nice coating all over the pebbletech. So, fixed the filter, and no longer have DE blowing into the spa, but have a lot of white DE on the...
