    SWG problems again - High salt reading, Nl salt level, no chlorine

    Sorry to have not replied. Cold weather, then wet weather, a bad multimeter, in combination with general personal sloth have prevented me from replying until it got warm and dry. Long story short and embarrassing. The multi-conductor 16 ft cable running from the swg cell to the jandy box was...

    I don't think direction of flow matters, but the swg should be the last link in the output chain so that high chlorine levels don't corrode important stuff.

    Jandy PLC1400 Replacement Cost

    Quick update. After replacing the diffuser, the impeller, the backplate, and a valve actuator, the pump now works. I was hoping pump dysfunction and low flow might be the issue; but uit wasn't. It was a partially cut connection in the tri-sensor wiring to the Jandy power box. I probably stomped...

    Jandy PLC1400 Replacement Cost

    My swg quit working in late fall with wonky readings that suggest it's the Jandy tri-sensor. I was in the middle of working through that issue when my pump went bad, and I am delayed with everything getting the pump parts (impeller, diffuser). Up until then everything was hunky-dory. The joys...

    SWG problems again - High salt reading, Nl salt level, no chlorine

    My older Jandy Aquapure SWG setup is now connected to a 3rd party SWG cell and has worked flawlessly since I replaced the Jandy trisensor in May of 2024. Recently, however, It has stopped generating chlorine both standard and boost modes and shows error codes 172 ( Flow sensor service condition...

    Spa standpipe loose. What happens if I try to drain the spa?

    Thanks for your help. I was concerned there would be a siphon effect pulling water back into the spa. It looks like water can then be sucked up by the spa drains and then be diverted away from the spillover pipe to the pool itself?

    The spillover DOES run into pool in POOL mode.

    Here is pool mode. The stand pipe is broken and in bottom of spa.

    Spa standpipe loose. What happens if I try to drain the spa?

    Thanks for your reply. Here is a picture of the system. The stand pipe threads are stripped I think, and I'll have to repair the connection somehow.

    Spa standpipe loose. What happens if I try to drain the spa?

    What will happen if I turn off the pool equipment and throw a submersible pump into my spa to empty into my contiguous pool? Will pool water drain back into the spa on its own? I need to repair the standpipe. Thanks. David - Dallas

    Vertical Pipe in the middle of my spillover spa

    When in spa mode, the spa water level drops to the top of the pipe so heated water doesn’t spill over to the pool.
