I want to know if it is safe from the standpoint of the environment. Is it safe to dispose of down the drain or if not how do you get rid of it?

Hi, my neighbor gave up and filled in his pool recently. He brought me a box of pool supplies he had bought and have them to me for free. I went thru the box and was able to identify them and determine if they were safe except for one item. It is called Pool First Aid and manufactured by a...

Thanks Jim that's what is was hoping to hear as the OEM cartridges are pricey to replace. I see there are generic versions online for sale that are less expensive but wondering if they are any good.

Hi all, I have a Jandy filter tank that contains 4 large cartridges used for water filtering. I removed them to clean and my inspection shows that the appear to be in OK condition and I was able to clean the pleats good. They are 3 years old. I was wondering how long to these types of cartridges...

Ordered it from a specialty glass supplier. I then got a friend of mine that has special tools for glass cutting to cut the circles for me and the fit.

So I found all of the parts needed for the repair. I replaced the bulbs and ran a quick light check and everything worked. Now I am trying to put the light back together but having trouble on this with the metal ring the light body to the light glass cover. It is a Jandy series 12050 color...

Poolman, so if I can find the correct color Dichroic glass and make the correct size circles this would fix the problem. So where would I find the glass and how would I cut circles in this glass?

Allen, thanks for the reply and link to Jandy catalog. I think you are right that the parts are obsolete and I will not find them. The light is still functional but I will not be able to get all of the colors without either this replacement lens holder or replacment co.or lense circles. If i...

I have a older Jandy color wheel pool light (about 15 years old) that I am trying to repair. I am trying to find a dichoric lens holder ( Jandy PN RO399700 or Zodiac PN 3535-020) for my light part which is part no 12050 but have not had any success in finding it. I have exhausted looking in all...

I have a halogen bulb color Jandy pool light that stopped working. I removed it from the niche and set it on the pool deck. After opening I determined that I need a lens holder P/ N RO399800. The light P/N is JPL 12050. Also I observed 3 of the 8 light bulbs s are burned out but I have...

Thanks for the replies and advice. Yes I meant trying a manual one that you plug the hose into the skimmer for suction and place the other end of the hose in the bottom of the pool. Do I need a bag on the end of the hose that is in the pool???

I constantly find a layer of fine material at the bottom of my pool. I believe it to be pollen from the large trees that are near my pool and is especially bad in the spring when things are blooming. I have a Polaris pool sweep with a fine mesh bag that I run daily but it does not clear it from...

Just wanted to let everyone know that Leslies tech came out this morning and not only replaced the faulty SWG Controller but also replaced the salt cell with a new one and all done under warranty. I was persistent and insistent on talking to the Customer Service manager. So for equipment repairs...
