Lightning is possible. We had one hit real close. Have had Electronic components in the house affected. Pool is older. No automation or fancy components. Do you think just popping a new board in there would give me some good years with a light? Costly but paying for just the part. Thanks...

Finally got around to looking into why my main LED light doesn’t work. It’s a Jandy Watercolors 120V. What do you make of the pics? Doesn’t appear to be water damage to me. Thanks

Thanks. I’ll look into these posts

Hello all. Came home to find pump running dry and no circulation. Lots of pin oak leaves falling into pool this time of year. Skimmer basket was full and lack of flow shut down the float valve. I have one skimmer with 2 holes At the bottom. Shouldn’t the main drain have kept water flowing...

Got it thanks. The big question is determining how long the tab takes to fully dissolve and how much chlorine is put out in only 2-3 days. What would 3-4 tabs in a floater do for me? Thought tabs were simple but not so much.

Was going to bring chlorine up to 12 or so. Add at tonight after sunset and be home mid afternoon Sunday. I can do tabs in a floater. With CYA at 50 how much would 3 days of tabs add to that?

So I’m about to go away for a few days. So should I drop my pH lower so it’s not overly high when I return? 7.2 so it’s about 7.8 when I get back? Thanks

In my skimmer I have a float valve and a line from the main drain. Would that alleviate risk of running spa dry if skimmer shut down?

I have a bypass to the spa upstream of the 3 way valve. I just turned my pre pump 3 way to the middle position and it is now returning from the spa and the spill stopped. Level is dropping so I will turn it partially for spa return. Only have one combo skimmer (main drain and skimmer) and...

Would it be feasible to lower the pH to 7.2 just to not deal with this every other day? Let it go from 7.2 up to 7.8 and then add acid? Maybe just for when I'll be gone for 3-4 days, which is quite often.

Thanks. Four returns in spa but no bubbles there. So can anyone think of a way to have my spillover water not splash into pool? Racking my brain for ways to get the water to return smoothly back into pool.
