Saltwater pool. These have been here since the start. Some above water and some under water. Very hard. One seems to have broken though a small crack in the blue tile underwater. Any idea? Or just calcium. Size is same as 5 years ago, should I take a screw driver to them?

So I keep hearing that an unbalanced pool ie Cl or CYA too high or too low = pump failure/chlorine generator failure as the chemical "eat" away the seals and bearings and such. I feel this is the standard reason for everything from my official Jandy rep, oh your mother in law is coming for a...

currently at 70, I did not know that the tabs had stabilizer built in. Thanks for that, will use liquid chlorine for now

Hello everyone. My aquapure generator 1400 is kaput, throwing out two codes. Despite me cleaning it twice. Any source where I can buy and replace it myself? Also in the meantime, is there a disadvantage to throwing in 2 tabs of chlorine weekly in my 18k pool (with saltwater in it)?

Thank you, I can now breath again

So it was around 39F here in central Florida and surprisingly my jandy epump was running early am(turned on and off by itself) not sure if duration. According to programming it was not supposed to run at that time. Is there perhaps a “anti-freezing” protection built in or is there an electric...

Sorry off topic question for you, should I cover my jandy epump with something to "protect" it from the Florida sun?

Thank you!

Changed my signature to reflect what I have. Got the TFP test kit + k-1766 + speedstir. How often should I test the water in the summer vs winter?

I have a saltwater 17K pool with a Jandy epump + 50sqft DE filter + chlorine generator Pool is in Central Florida. Need to purchase: Salt - to replenish, due to rain diluting my water Stabilizer - to replenish, due to rain diluting my water and CYA breaking down Alkalinity raiser - not sure why...

Sorry one more question Is there a way to see if perhaps the ventilation fan at the back is the cause of the noise? I removed the fig plant and got closer to the motor and notices the noise from the back of the unit , thinking of popping open the vent fan

ah Understood Will take it to close by shop upon research it seems replaced bearings don’t last long, true?

Thank you everyone I think I’m gonna get a qualified person to replace seal/bearing. Any idea round about the price I should be paying for a job such as this in central FL? or would it be cheaper to get a new motor
