the Jandy service rep came out and replaced the band. NC. The new one looks like a different design. My bet is Jandy knew they were not lasting and is replacing them if you call.

you can buy a polaris sand and silt bag on e-bay for about $20. Works great on dirt and sand in the pool.

went to the jandy website and called the local service center. they said the part keeps the shell from collapsing and leaking, should be replaced. they will do it under the 1 year warranty. cant see how that thin flexible band keeps the shell from collapsing.

thats too funny. my ring was not rusted but the rivets were. saltwater too. anyway, i used J. weld epoxy to bond the two ends back together. that solution did not work as the part separated again. whenever i fix anything, i have left over parts. guess if it works, you didnt need them. some...

I have a Jandy 340 cart filter. The last time i cleaned my filters, inside the case, a large round stainless steel ring came out. the riveted joint broke so it was not a complete circle anymore. This ring looked like it went along the inside of the seam of the top and bottom shell piece. Anyway...

i have a 1 year old, 20k gal inground gunite pool with raised spa. have 1.5 jandy stealth main pump and a 1 hp booster for the polaris 280. i have manual valves and manual twin timer for the pump and cleaner pump. i want to switch to a 2 speed pump to save on the electricity. question, is there...

thanks, after shock 24 hours, the chlorine is up to satisfactory levels. we will see how it holds. we have had 2 months of no rain and 100 degree heat. must be hard on pool chemistry.

free chlorine 0 total chlorine 0 ph 8.2 hardness 200 ppm alk 110 ppm cy acid 50 ppm copper 0 iron 0 salinity 3000 the computer said to add 2 pt of muratic acid and 3 lbs of salt shock. the lights show the unit on, flow is ok, flow reversing/cleaning and it goes to cell resting from time to...

i have a 1 year old pool with jandy 1400 aquapure system. just tested my water and took it in to the pool store. they say i have 0 chlorine. everything else is fine. i have no error codes and run the unit at 90%. water is crystal clear. does look like i may have some discoloration on the...

We survived Ike. Strong winds and rain. The pool is filled with leaves. Scooped a lot out. I pulled the Polaris 280 out of the water and stored it before the storm. Just went to put it back in,turned on the pump and the back of the pressure relief valve keeps popping off and the hose with the...

Thanks for the info. Bottom line is to keep the chlorine levels up to fight the Crud that will get into the pool. Got it.

Thanks, so I put a pound of shock in the pool before the rain starts? Its about 15k gallons. I am not familiar with the shock process other than the PB put some shock in at start up. How long does the shock last? Should I put my floater in with some pucks since the SWG will be down?

We live in the Houston area and have a new IG SWG pool. Ike is heading our way. What do I need to do to get the water ready for the rain and the aftermath? I have some chlorine pucks, muratic acid and some shock. Any tips on how to get the water back up? Im sure we will lose power so the pumps...

The PB put a water fill line on our hose bib. Usually I turn it on when nobody is home then go out and turn it off. Well, today I turned it on and while I was in the house, my son turned it off and we heard a loud bang in the house from the plumbing. I heard the tail end of a caller recently on...
