Somehow got it to work. Messed with the PDA again and it was on the wrong time. That was all I changed and the pump came on. Probably a coincidence but I ain't complaining

I am in Prosper. Did you guys ever figure this out? My pump is doing the exact same thing. Just didn't come on today. I have 240V at the pump and 9.8V between the red and green. The Jandy PDA says pump offline. I checked to make sure the impeller spins freely. My PDA will control all the...

My Polaris 9550 had a bad motor block and I got a new one. I also have a brand new control unit. The only thing that hasn't been replaced is the cable. It works now except once it climbs up to the waterline, it shows an Error 10 and shuts down. I've pulled on the cable while it is running and...

Looks awesome. If you plan on doing the Italian Cypress in the background of the rendering (which I think look great) make sure you get healthy ones. I put 5 just like the rendering behind my Baja shelf and they were all great for about 2 years. The had a gentle slope in height from the...

I have an older model 9300xi. I recently had to replace the motor block. It looked like water got into it and corroded the circuit board. Ordered a new motor block for $398. I installed it and after 2 days, the lights on the controller started blinking and the cleaner didn't move. Those...

My brother in law used Klapprodt. Very happy with them and they have taken care of him on some warranty items (acid washing to get better finish, skimmer leak, etc.). We are in Prosper, on the other side of the Metroplex, and used Claffey. They are based in Southlake. I can't recommend them...

We have had our Claffey built pool since 2011. Nothing but praise for them. Great to deal with and do what they say. We have two Jandy Watercolors LED lights in the pool and one in the spa. They are adequate but I'd add more of the newer nicheless style if I could do it over again. Other...

I definitely recommend a spa and a raised one at that. The raised spa keeps it cleaner - anything blowing around on the deck like leaves, etc. don't generally make it into the spa where if it was pool level, it would blow right in. Also, when cleaning the deck with a backpack or hand held...

Not exactly the same but similar and a funny story. At my parent's house growing up, we didn't have an autofill on our pool. We had a PVC fill line built in but it was manual operation. Every time my dad would turn on the fill, he would take one shoe off and leave it out by the pool. That...

I'd have them pre- wire to some flower beds that you have in the pool design, around the pool. Bring the wires back to the place where you would like your receiver to go. It doesn't have to be in an outside cabinet, etc. Get a receiver with Airplay and App control and it can be controlled...

That seems about right. How many lights is that upgrade price for? I put LEDs in when I built our pool and I love them. I have them turn on every night for a couple hours via automation for ambiance. It is nice to have them change colors. An LED won't be as bright as an incandescent so if...

I used to have two outdoor speakers under our patio and two pool speakers connected to zone 2 on my Onkyo 7.2 receiver inside the house. They each had their own separate in wall volume control that impedance matched so I could run two speakers off each channel for 4 speakers total. It worked...

I will definitely concur that Claffey will make you happy. They are great to deal with, even 4 years after we built the pool with them. I think that the after picture looks great. Great looking pool

Also, in my experience it is better to have a larger system playing at less than its max volume vs. having a smaller system turned all the way up to try to get the appropriate volume from it. I initially undersized my system and regretted it. Not that I needed it louder, bit I WANTED it...
