    How much equipment failure is "normal"?

    We built our pool in 2021 and it feels like we have had a lot of equipment problems. I would love to know if this is "normal" and I should just budget for regular problems. We are about to replace our sand filter for the second time (tank leaks). This time will be under warranty or I would...

    Jandy sand filter leak

    It did still leak in filter mode, but not in recirculate mode. I'm going to call around to see if I can find an o ring locally before I take it off, I think.

    It’s all on the same breaker (maybe this is part of the problem). I’ve been able to arrange an electrician for the pool company first thing in the morning. I think we will at least cover everything.

    Breaker tripped, freezing temps, closing scheduled in 2 days

    This our first pool season. We had a pool slide that had been backordered installed on Friday and attempted to heat the pool to use it once before closing on Tuesday. Our Jandy gas heater has shorted x 2 already this first season and it happened again Friday night. The other times we were able...
