I don't think I'd go with Jandy/ Zodiac again, unless I had input that they have gotten MUCH better, -so I have not even looked. Dan

How long have you folks had your Autopilot systems?

Folks- My 5.5 year old Jandy AquaPure 1400 is beginning to fail. It's producing choline, still but not well. Test seems to indicate that the cell is at fault. So it seems I need at least a new cell, but was wonder whether now would be the time to install a new, better, entire system. If I...

Folks- Here is my chem: FC: 3.5 CC: .5 TC: 4.0 Temp: 81 pH: 7.4 Hardness: 390 TA: 80 CYA: 50 I took a sample to the local Anthony & Sylvan simply because they have a means to test for borates, and I do not. I've been considering adding borates after I have read the accolades here but I...

Just an update, I did go through the front board trouble shooting guide available on line here: http://www.pleasurepoolsno.com/wp-conte ... Manual.pdf and the front board checked out OK. I did call Jandy and they indicated I should try and remove the adapter circuit board between the plug of...

Folks- Last spring I opened the pool, to a bad flow sensor for my Jandy Apure 1400. It showed "no flow" despite there being plenty of flow. I read here a bunch here, inspected, tested, and indications were that it was the flow sensor. When I removed the old there was rust on one of the...

By the way, if by any chance anyone knows where I can source my broken part, -it's called the "Mars HP FMS" (part # W69611), I would happily pay a finders fee. That said, I have scoured, seemingly the whole net, even called Barracuda, to no avail. Just trying to cover all bases, but I'm not...

Folks- ANYONE that may have an old Mars HP (blue, ball style) laying around, that they have any desire to get rid of, PLEASE contact me? I'm fairly desperate, frankly. I need a critical part that is completely unavailable. The plastic part with the male threaded end that the hose attaches...

FYI, I am actively seeking any and all new old stock, used parts, even broken units with serviceable parts for this cleaner that anyone may have. I'd very much like to make my unit last another season or two (or three!). If you have any of these and are willing to sell, please, send me an...

I've got a solid cover, and the water looks great when I open it, it's just that the pH is off the charts (this spring it was ~11!). I can only assume I'll have similar results this spring. I guess I could drop in a submersible pump or two, as was suggested. Actually, thinking about it, I...

Folks- Wanted to break this out as it's own topic as I gotta figure others will want to know more about how/whether/ when to address treating the pool over the winter. My contact from Aqivations, the plaster manufacturer for Hydrazzo, stated that; "It is imperative to check and adjust...

OK, so the pool is clearing up now. Feeling relieved. So from what I can gather, I managed to take steps that are aimed at increasing pH, not so much TA. -Although, I get that they're related. I'm thinking I'm going to keep my remaining Washing Soda, not use it just now, it makes the water...

According to the MSDS, A&H Super Washing Soda is made up of 85% Sodium carbonate, 15% water. I also read where it reacts with acid to produce CO2 gas, could it be reacting with my low pH, or the CYA I added? Just guessing. Dan

So, in my haste I bought "Washing Soda" 4/ 5lb boxes. I added one, 5lb box and things clouded up really badly. Oops. Edit: it actually A&H "Super Washing Soda" So I stopped, and did not add the other 3. How badly did I mess this up? Will/ should the filter clean this up? Feeling a bit...

Folks- I replaced ~ 14K gallons of my water below is my old, (prior to refill) new, and fill water chemistry. Old Water (before the replace) Date: 8/14 Temp: 85F FC: 1 CC: .5 TC: 1.5 T/A: 45 C/H: 650 CYA: 50 Salt: 3,200ppm pH: 8.0 Filter pressure: 22 PSI SWG Setting: 20% Pump Run Time: 8...
