How did you land on this? I’m in the same boat. 4 years old and I have two bad lights now. Garbage.

It’s a ball joint valve so pretty easy to turn it on and off. I was just wondering if that would lead to sir in the system causing some weird scenario I’m not aware of.

The question is can I safely run the pump with the cartridge filter drain spigot opened?

My filter is far away from my pool and I have a 2” drain pipe that would redirect water down hill toward the street. My house is on top of a hill so I can easily drain down the hill in an emergency.

I read the resent article about storm readiness. The article mentions opening the spigot between the filter and the pump to help drain down the pool from significant rainfall. The only drain I have is the tail pipe that comes off the bottom of my Jandy cartridge filter housing. Is it safe to...

Bad board in my AquaLink panel. PB covered it under my warranty they provided otherwise it was a $500 board I believe they said, plus labor.

Thanks. Will I lose programming of all my features if I hit that reset? It’s 2 1/2 years old but the PB gave me 3 years on everything.

Yes sir.

….so I went to my AquaLink panel this morning to clean my pump baskets out. I tried to put the panel into “service” mode and all the buttons are frozen, none respond. Lights are on, pumps are running, the app is working to control everything, just no response from the panel buttons. Side note...

Hey folks, Three year old AquaPure 1400 giving me the dreaded no flow signal. I never took notice before but does the flow light always blink on the tri sensor? I’m guessing it’s blinking because of the no flow. The panel is saying no flow and that means no chlorine production. I added new...

Agreed. It’s been in the same shaded spot for 3 years with no problems. I ordered a knock off sensor for $20 to see if it resolves the issue. Let’s see if that works.

I noticed my AquaLink Air Sensor is way off with its temp readings. This is problematic since my freeze protection is triggered by this sensor. It’s reading a lot higher than actual air temp. It’s not in the sun and mostly I’m concerned at night when it’s getting into the 30s. 1) do these go bad...

How’s your filter? Is it clean? I don’t know much about sand filters but I read people need to occasionally replenish or replace the sand.

I agree. I got into a debate with a guy in another forum. I was using my trusty TFP app and tried explaining this to him but he kept telling me I was wrong. So, I wanted to clarify. Thank you.

Question, in the pool matcH IOS TFP app it says in the “effects of adding” section that adding baking soda does not increase PH but only TA. However, if I Google topics how to raise PH (aside from aeration) they all recommend baking soda. Which is accurate?
