Well.... I didn't get any replies or help with this one so I ordered switches from Digi Key, they had fast shipping and the install was super easy. Works like a charm. The only think I have noticed (so it seems) the the actuator does not do an exact 180 turn as it once did. It seems like it...

Well, maybe not so fast.... The next day the temp creeped back up to 99 when the pool was really only about 82. So I figured it was just bad and ordered a new probe (themistor). It came in and I decided to unscrew the old one and replace it. As I turned the old one out about 2 turns the temp...

Took it apart today. It was just showing a high temp, 99-104 when I started working on it. I read somewhere about how Trichlor tabs negatively affect the Thermistors which made me think about two years ago when I installed the Pentair feeder for tablets. I even installed a Jandy check valve...

I'll have to try it tomorrow to see what it does. From memory I think when I stop the pump or flip off the power to the heater and back on it has dashes for a few seconds and then reads 101 or some temp up to 107. I've seen it 99 but I don't think any lower. Water temp is probably only in the...

I've read the posts on other threads about hi-temp sensors and thermistor but wanted advice before I order a part today. Background: I haven't used heater in almost two years. I noticed about 3 weeks ago it said my water temp was 99 or 101 on the HEATER. I have an EasyTouch system which shows...

I have two of these same actuators. I took one off last year to replace the 3 way Jandy and never put it back on. NOW i tried and the motor is not lined up where I can install it and when tried to flip the switch on manually (to get the gears to move so they line up) the motor won't go in...

Cool idea on the valve assy fix. I might try that one before taking it off and epoxy the inside. I have always heard the same and ALWAYS went clockwise. I "may" have backwashed one time in the winter and turned it with slight ice inside and caused the problem. Otherwise I have no idea why it...

Dave, you are always good for for helpful replies. THANK YOU. 1. I didn't have a sub assembly part number but now that I have checked the web, everyone says it is obsolete and you have to order the 273564. So back to the 60-100. 2. The $8 gauge is lasting one year approx. Glass was even...

I piped mine about 40', silghtly up hill and away from my equipment since it would run down hill andagainst my neighbors home :-0 I now let it go into the woods that are behind their house. If they ever clear their back yard I suppose I will have to go another 80' to let it reach the street...

I guess the hard winter in Georgia has caused damage to my filter and multiport. Yesterday I backwashed and when I put the multiport back on "filter" I didn't notice that all the water did not completely divert back to the pool. My flow gauge was operating and I saw the flow to the pool so I...

I will try to do this over the weekend if I can make some time to work with him and test his water. I doubt he has tested it since the fall. I thought the chlorine was not present in pools in the winter, maybe I screwed him up by telling him not to keep tabs in his auto feeding tube. :? I...

Even in the cold water temp weather you would bring it up? Like with shock and then heavy on the tabs by putting them in the baskets and fill the tube wide open? How high... like 10?

I'm thinking that what he put in there in the fall was an algaecide but I will check and see if he has his receipt to know what he bought. I will also get some test results when it is warmer and I can go over to his house for an hour or two to help him. We had a heck of a time keeping his pool...

Gunite. I have not seen any #s since the fall. But I don't see scaling and when we were at the end of the summer the calcium was right on. Again it only foams when water comes from the spa spillover. If you keep it on pool only I see no foam. But when it comes from the jets in the spa it...

I have a neighbor two doors down with a traditional chlorine pool. His home/pool was vacant (economy!) and with out maintenance for about one year. he bought the home last year about this time and I helped him clean the pool and establish proper pool chemistry over the summer. He uses tablets...
