Thanks guys. It really looks as if I just need to buy a new cell with sensors and then the fried back board as well. Will call Jandy to confirm and post my results after.

Hi all, Have a pre 2007 Jandy SWG system that was not working when we purchased the house in 2013. I have been using the TFP method for chlorine and it is great, but I have decided to try to restart using the SWG system. It was giving an error code which I don't remember and beeping loudly...

Thanks again...my pool is 15k gallons. Looks like my CSI as it stands is right at 0 which I assume is pretty good. Going to just hold steady if my pH holds and not add any CA increaser and see what levels move.

Finally seems pretty close to being dialed in but have a question about CH still... Fc 1.6 (haven't added since yesterday) pH 7.6 TA 95 CH 210 CYA 40 (Finally!!!!) So questions are what target CH should I shoot for? 250? 300? 350? Is 7.6 a good pH or should I go a bit lower to 7.4? Also going...

So couple tests this morning and afternoon. Morning results same as yesterday but CH up to 150 with the 4 lbs added. I added 128 oz 10% chlorine and 60 oz 14.5 % muriatic acid along with another 4 lb CA. CYA still dissolving and not registering Afternoon test shows 4.5 FC, 8.0 pH and 200 CH...

Just took another round of tests and FC up to 1.5, pH looks close to 8.0 with only 2 drops for acid demand to 7.5 range. TA and CH remained same at 110 ppm each and CYA still at zero as it will take a while to dissolve and register with the sock method. I added 16oz of acid so hoping it will...

Hi all...just am finishing my renovation and got my Midnight Blue Stonescapes Mini Pebble just done on Friday. They came back and did acid wash yesterday am and we filled the pool finishing at 6pm yesterday. Have had my filter on since then and just did my first test. Pool is 15,000 gallons...

Today they started on the BBQ island. We are going poured concrete polished top with a nice raised overhang to accomodate bar height stools. Our previous granite top was at a weird height that would not fit counter or bar height stools, so we never got to enjoy sitting at the bbq island. They...

Coping is dark grey belecrete. The concrete deck was existing and is a medium shade of brown if I were to guess. It is 12+ years old but didn't have budget to demo and repour it, so we tried to get stone that would tie in the grey coping and brown concrete

Little bit of a slower week progress wise, but they are getting closer. Almost all the belecrete work is done except for the center pieces filling in the planters. Majority of the stone work is done except fireplace wall and BBQ. They just started demo of the BBQ and will be doing a poured...

Tile work done and finishing off the rest of the bellecrete for walls, steps, etc. The pool is ready for mini pebble which is set for June 1st. image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on...

I have the same lights and if you open it, you will see about 8 separate white bulbs with colored glass lenses over them. The colors are formed by turning on a different combination of lights to achieve the color. I found that I had a few of the lights burnt out, so just put some new bulbs in...

Thanks for the kind words. So the tile is from Mastertile Empire Mix MAS EM 121. It was very affordable yet very nice looking..it was around $9/sq ft and they are located in Anaheim. They actually have a very impressive line up of tile in their showroom and I just found them by searching for...

Waterline tile installed today as well as stacked stone on raised bond beam. They also tore out the small grass area that will be replaced with artificial turf. The tile is ceramic 1x1 mastertile em121. My pb said glass tile would be $75 sq/ft for install as his team doesn't do it and they...

Bellecrete being laid for coping to set levels for everything. They are almost finished with it and tile and stone starting tomorrow. image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr image by MrBruin2k, on Flickr...
