I just converted my pool to a salt water generator (thanks to this forum for advice and help). My pH has been maintained at 7.8 for quite a while before the conversion and I haven’t had any scaling or cloudiness. My family has sensitive skin and I really want the pH to be closer to 7.4 but 7.5...

I am adding a Jandy Truclear SWCG (I know, I know, but I already purchased it). The power center will be very close to this pump so I will be getting power from it. Just to verify, can I add wires to the existing RS485 ports (pictured here on the left) so the Truclear can communicate with the...

@HermanTX based on the unreliability of the Truclear, and the fact that I bought the “new build” version rather than retrofit, can you advise on the best way to install it? Should I remove the in line chlorinator and use the unions to install it there in case I need to swap out the unit? I could...

Thank you. I was planning on installing the SWCG on the length of pipe to the right of the in-line chlorinator and powering it from the heater subpanel to the right of that. I was going to increase the height of the pipes holding that subpanel and install the SWCG power unit above it. But if the...

I am planning on installing a Truclear system on my existing pool. I have a Jandy VSP pump and Aqualink automation. The area where I will be installing the SWG is close to the heater subpanel and it would be a pain (and higher cost) to wire the power pack to the pump circuit breaker. If I...

Thanks for your reply. If I change the Aqualink to an Intellicenter, can it effectively control the Jandy pumps that have already been installed or would I need to change the pump? We will have an in-line chlorine feeder.

Hello. I’m getting a new pool installed and am very interested in the Pentair Ultratemp ETi hybrid heat pump/gas heaters. My pool installer only deals with Jandy so they will install all of the other equipment and plumb and complete electrical connections for the Pentair but will leave...

The SWG is a combo with the pump. The heater needs to be run alongside the pump. I will definitely put the SWG last in line before the pool inlet.

I bought a Fitmax iPool 3 because it’s difficult to find someone to install a built in pool nowadays and we needed something sooner. The pool has a 1” inlet and outlet. The Intex filter/salt water generator is 1.5”, and the Balboa water heater is 2”. What kind of converters should I be looking for?
