Dumb question here, but there is a "Spa" button and a "Pool" button. Is there actually any difference in the operation of the buttons besides the label and the temperature I set them to? For instance, if I set them both to 102 degrees, and don't change any valve lineups, will hitting each...

Thanks for your help!

I think I'm probably going to be in the same boat as you. When you say, "see how long it takes to prime" do you mean until I see flow out of my sprinklers? Or the basket is completely full? Or something else?

I'm about to switch over from an old Jandy single speed filter pump to a newer Hayward VSP pump. With the single speeds, I know to prime them that I fill the pump basket with water and hit the button. On my every day basis, the pump is on a timer to kick on at 10 am, and have never had an...

Last summer, I hooked up 2 cheap flower fountains on my returns and ran them for a period every night. They worked amazing at cooling off the pool. Problem is, I cannot remember what hours I ran the dang things, and now can't seem to dial in the best time for cooling. What do ya'll do?

That's a good question. I noticed some answers you gave to similar questions in old topics, and you mentioned that in your setup, you have an open pipe that supplies air to some kind of bubbler or aerator in your spa? Is that correct? Until reading that, I always thought a "bubbler" was simply...

This plug is located in my deep end of the pool, below the spillover spa, about a foot under water. Any thoughts on what treasures might lie behind this thing? Bonus, what do you think this open ended pipe is? Located next to my filter pump return piping (which goes to both pool and spa)...

Anybody know if there are any direct replacement pumps for a Jandy flo pro? After reading some replies, I'm starting to kind of want a VS pump. Looks like I can't order a Jandy one myself though.

So if it’s illegal, how are there all these single speed models for sale all over the internet? And what is the reasoning for this law?

My pump finally crapped out on me. It's got to be atleast ten years old. I'm pretty sure it would cost more to repair it than it would to just buy a replacement. Started smelling a burned smell and the pump makes a loud noise before shutting off. I did get lucky, my pond has the exact same...

I'm not an expert like most people on here, but it seems to me you should be vacuuming "to waste" ie when vacuuming, instead of recirculating the water back into your pool through your returns, the water should be sent out into your your yard/a hose etc. There are lots of topics on here and...

That was it. Picked up a new one at an HVAC supply store. Running like a champ now, thanks!
