    Recommendation for Pool Brush/Net/Pole

    I am looking to replace my brush, net, and pole and I was hoping to get a recommendation on a good quality replacement. I'm currently using equipment purchased from Home Depot, but I would like to upgrade to something of a higher quality. Looking online, it appears that ProTuff has some...

    Replacement for Jandy Pool/Spa Controller

    I have an old Jandy RS6 controller (photo below) and I would like to see what my options are for updating it. We are painting the interior of our house and my wife would like to have a controller that is white to match the new color. We recently added the iAquaLink 3.0 (iQ30) device, so we have...

    IntelliBrite 5G Replacement

    My 4 year-old Intellibrite 5G light has stopped working and it looks like I won't be able to repair it (no voltage at the terminals on the LED board). 1. If I decide to replace this with a 12V Intellibrite 5G, will I just need to replace the relay? 2. What other options do I have for other...

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G

    Thank you. I will do some research on this. My existing light was white color only, so I need to make sure that this board will work. I would love to hear from anyone that has tried this repair/upgrade to see if the results were good.

    Pentair Intellibrite 5G

    I upgraded our pool light to LED 4 years ago and we decided to go with the Pentair Intellibrite 5G. Unfortunately, it stopped working a couple of weeks ago. Is there a repair kit available for a driver replacement, or would I need to replace the whole light fixture? If it can't be repaired...

    Jandy RS Battery Connection

    My 9V backup battery came disconnected from my Jandy RS PCB, and I can't see how to reconnect it. There is a small screw on the top of the terminal where it should be connected, but it doesn't release the cover. Does that section come off? Here's a photo of the area in question...

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    I found that 24vdc part - same number, just in 24vdc instead of 120vac. Does anyone have knowledge of a reliable dimming relay I can use? When our pool was installed, we had a dimming relay for the spa light, but it have a life of about 3 to 5 years. After replacing it the 3rd time, we...

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    Thanks - figured that was the issue. I guess that means that G7l-2A-BUBJ-CB isn't the part number. Is the number towards the bottom (00911EK) the part number?

    Troubleshooting Jandy Relays

    I have a Jandy RS8 (installed in 2001) and I recently damaged a relay, so I am trying to replace it. I ordered what I thought was a duplicate unit off of Amazon, but it is not functioning (a 2nd replacement unit also did not work). I'm trying to figure out of I am receiving the correct relay...

    Accuracy of Testing Strips

    Thank you all for your input on the test strips. I knew that their reliability was questionable, but I was hoping that they would at least be within the ballpark on a couple of the test. I've already deposited into the garbage can, and I’ll stick with the Taylor method since it’s been working...

    Accuracy of Testing Strips

    I am trying to see if I can simplify my life by switching to testing strips to cover some of the tests that I do on our pool. I purchased a batch of the AquaChek 7-way test strips and I compared it today to the results I got with my Taylor FAS-DPD kit: CL: 14 ppm Taylor vs 10 ppm AquaCheck...

    Correct Sequence to Repair PVC Pool Piping

    I have a 3 foot section of 1.5" PVC in my pool plumbing that I need to replace. It's a tight fit, so I'd like to get advice on the best way to tackle. The left side of this run is fixed (the elbow is glued onto the section of pipe coming out of the valve). The right side is connected to an...
