Im a little lost now... what is the difference between IQ20-RS and IQ900-RS? Jandy has an upgrade document that says use the IQ900-RS but it may be dated. Is the IQ20-RS newer?

I've got an older Jandy Aqualink RS8. I'ts connected to an Autelis unit so even though it's old, Ive already got web control. The other day my 2-speed pump motor went out. I want to upgrade to a Pentair Intelliflo VS but it's looking like this is going to be a costly upgrade. According to...

As to why I’m shocking the pool, my water is crystal clear but I’ve developed little black or very dark green spots on the plaster. They are not brushing away all that easy. We’ve been going to the river a lot and bringing toys and bathing suits back and forth. Not sure if something got...

Yes I have the TF-100 test kit. I know about SLAM and intend to follow it. Just curious if you would install the new cartridge before or after SLAM.. I assume by the replies that it won’t really matter one way or the other. Thanks

I bought a new filter to replace my 13 year old cartridge. I’d say I got my moneys worth out of it but it’s time. My water is clear but I’m getting dark green spots on the plaster so I think I need to shock the pool. Should I shock first let it clear up and then put the new filter in? Or...

The very first pic is my actual bar/kitchen. You can see the pizza oven in the top left corner. It's already complete, along with the roof and deck. It was not pre-fab. I built it with the help of the forno bravo forum. You can see all the pics on my wordpress page: http://n8sbar.servebeer.com/

One more question in addition to the above. Regarding the other side of the bar, the T shaped side, with the double 12" cantilever; does this frame made of 1.25" square x .125" wall tube steel look sufficient enough for the 2" gfrc?

Couple questions about the steel studs for the bar. I've never used them before. 1.) I gather it's arguably better to use rivets so that the hardi-backer sits flush. I've also read that stainless is best. Any issue with galvanic corrosion? If not, I'll go with these 1/8" stainless rivets and...

No batteries. I'm grid tied with Enphase Inverters. You can view my system here: https://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/pv/public_systems/3AvS186900

Before I lay in with the questions I'll catch everyone up. Finished the pool in 2010. Did a DIY solar panel install (34 panels) in 2013. I've been working on my outdoor bar since January 2014. This has been the biggest, most multi-faceted project yet. First was the roof; a roughly 450 sq...

I know I'll get yelled at for this, but I waited for the pilot to ignite then jumpered 24vac to the gas valve and it immediately goes to ignition lock out (ILO). Does this tell anything? How does the ILO prevent the valve from opening? Even with the gas valve jumpered with 24v, it still never...

Doesn't the pilot just ground to the metal body of the heater? How would I check the ground? I pulled the board out and looked at it closely and didn't see anything obvious. Anyone ever replaced the relays on these? It would be an easy solder and being the only mechanical feature on the...

Which part of the pilot detects the flame? I can try to clean it. Can I test the high tension wire with a multi-meter?

I've got a Raypak P-R405B-EN (RP2100). The pilot lights but continues to click, click, click. Screen reads "spk" But the valve never opens. There is no voltage at the valve. Does this point to the PC board, or is there a sensor that tells the board that the pilot is lit that could be...
