I am watching the gauge. It has increased some (from 10 to 20 psi) and my flow has decreased some. I am clearly still in the slam process. I bought new cartridges probably slightly before they are needed as pressure does return to normal/clean after cleaning but I noticed a bit of fraying...

Well i thought i read everything. there is a lot of info. I just ordered one of those recommended test kits. I will get liquid chlorine this afternoon. I have been putting in granular the last two days. I ordered new filters - should i replace those now or clean the old ones again and then...

I have had the worst yellow algae problems (for over a year we have battled it) What do you recommend? We cleaned the filters and everything else and brushed and brushed - and this time used yellow out and then started the 2 lbs of shock every 12 hours. We just finished that but I still see some...

Thank you!

I'm also in the midst of fighting yellow algae and doing a supershock right now.... I was concerned of bit of algae stuck in the old polaris so I was thinking i needed to replace that sooner than later. But you know "when you give a mouse a cookie..." if you get that reference... so I wasn't...

Ha! Pools are money pits!! I have a new jandy filter and a fairly newish jandy heater... we are currently not running the SWG (but I'd like to start it back up... soonish) We need to replace the old controller - and when we do that we will have to replace the old pump (which has had several...

We are wanting to replace that jandy aqualink. We remodeled the pool (coping/plaster(mini pebble)/tile) about 1 1/2 years ago and replaced the filter with a jandy 580 since it was cracking - but didn't have enough $ to replace other equipment at that time. We disconnected the salt system for a...

Trying to understand! Is this red circled filter the "energy filter" you are referring to? There is also a small/tiny filter inside the hose that attaches to the wall... we have to clean that and the larger clear one (red cricle) by the pool equipment all the time. So how can we send the water...

The circled valve is the one that used to be an actuator and is now manual. It controls the pressure to where the polaris attaches to the side. We are hoping to replace our old jandy aqualinks this year and maybe we can program things better then...we will consider any other changes needed as...

the system was set up for the polaris to run basically all the time. I don't even think i used to be able to program that. If i didn't want it to run i just would unplug it from the wall and take it out of the pool... But now that the actuator is just a manual valve I can turn it off.

Also- we get sooooooo many leaves and debris as we back to a creek. I use the Polaris leaf bag in the fall and still have to empty hourly - and scoop a lot!!
