That's the truth on both counts - fixed and Jason is the man!

I see the problem with Zea3 as well. I see the problem on my Windows PC using Chrome and IE9. I also see it on my Android tablet. To rule out my ISP, I tried it on my BlackBerry on a the cellular network, and I see the problem there too as well. Clearing the browser cache had no effect. In...

Thanks Jason. I can confirm the domain-only URL is working now. Another issue that I'm seeing is that some avatars are missing. In this post X-PertPool's and Richard320's avatar images seem to be missing the underlying file. If I go to their profiles, I see the same problem. I can provide...

I see a huge improvement in performance as well. One minor issue that may have been introduced with the upgrade is reaching the site with the bare domain (http://troublefreepool.com). When I use the bare domain I get a file browsing page, not the web site. I believe the domain-only URL worked...

Although it wouldn't be as accurate as R-7065, for those outside of the U.S., is there a way to create a reasonably accurate reference solution using tap water and CYA powder?

Does it make a difference to any of the answers above if the two way valve is on the suction side or pressure side of the pump? I have a similar issue with my sheer decents, but only have a two way valve on the pressure side. Thanks! John

I found this troubleshooting document online a couple of years ago. It reports that: 120-Low cell current in forward direction -check DC cord, clean cell if necessary or replace cell. 121-Low cell current in reverse direction, same as 120 above.

I have a combination of factors that make me think that I may be better off not lowering my water level for the winter. I have a Pebblesheen pool with a sun shelf that's about 15" deep. When closing my pool last year, I lowered my water level down below my returns which put the water level at...

Yes - I've lubed the pump basket lid o-ring and the o-rings on the drain plugs. I've also pulled apart the inlet and outlet unions on the pump and lubed the o-rings inside of the unions. I spent some time staring into the pump lid tonight to see if I could see where the bubbles were coming...

I think I may always have a little air passing through my pump, but there are only a couple of instances where it is apparent. Normally, with my pump running on high speed, there is enough flow through the pump basket to draw bubbles through the pump and keep the top glass clear. I've...

I did clean the impeller, but it was pretty clean to start with. But now that you mentioned that, I did also clean the pump basket. There was some gunk stuck to the wall of lower half of the basket, but the wall on the upper half was clean. I never would have thought that just having a...

Just wanted to close the loop on my original post and report that I finally pulled the trigger. Thanks to TFP, it was a piece of cake. I replaced the motor on my Jandy pump with A.O. Smith's B2983 from a1poolparts as was recommend by svenpup. I was pleased with them as well. I was originally...

I have four pipes each with a Jandy Neverlube valve coming into the suction side of my pump (spa, main drain, and 2 skimmers). While the pump is running, if I close off one or two of the suction side valves (thereby increasing the vacuum pressure), I get a burst of bubbles in my pump basket...

From A.O.Smith's website: Common sense might tell you that if you reduce the speed of your swimming pool pump motor by one-half, the pump will pump half as much water while working half as hard. In fact, the pump will pump half the amount of water, but the load on the motor is reduced much...

I currently have a single-speed Jandy SHPF1.5 that I want to convert into a two-speed for the energy savings. I believe the SHPF1.5 has a A.O. Smith B842 motor, so it appears that the B983 is proper two-speed match. Does that look correct? My heater and SWG need a 30 GPM flow. Based upon my...
