    Looking to Automate - Suggestions?

    I was confused on the terminology for a second. Yes, the sig is correct and I've corrected the post. Sorry about that. The Jandy SWG isn't on the way out any time soon. Cell was replaced last year and the first one lasted 7 years. Valves would probably be optional up front, but wanted to...

    Looking to Automate - Suggestions?

    I have a Pentair Superflo variable speed pump (342001) and Jandy TruClear SWG. My old school dial timer is starting to lose time and needs to be replaced so I was looking to add timer automation with app control. Eventually might want to control valves for the spa and suction vac to make...

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    For those keeping score at home, I went with the Jacuzzi JCF425 (425 sqft). This is basically a Waterway (all WW parts), but it has a better warranty plan (2 years) on it and came with Pleatco Ultra filters and oil gauge as an upgrade. Waterway was very non-specific and I had read some reviews...

    Broken Gas Pool Heater - Anyone Buy These Things?

    It's amazing the expensive stuff people will throw out when it could be a pretty cheap part to fix it. That heater had a lot of parts rusting out inside so it was toast. It was inop when we moved in almost 7 years ago. Being in real estate, I'd say about 80% of pool/spa setups that have heaters...

    Broken Gas Pool Heater - Anyone Buy These Things?

    I live on a pretty regularly traveled road. It was gone 6 minutes after I put it on the curb. :ROFLMAO:

    Broken Gas Pool Heater - Anyone Buy These Things?

    I have an old gas heater that I'm going to replace with a heat pump. Is there any scrap value in these things or do people buy them to refurbish? I'm in the Orlando area. If not, I'll set it on the curb and it'll be gone within the hour. LOL

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    Did a little price checking. Not seeing it for less than about $1,500. It might not compete with the others. She's ugly, too. LOL Had to check the width since the pics make it look pretty wide. It wouldn't fit in my space at 28.5". Hayward 24" Jandy 25" / 28" with band lock Waterway 23.5"...

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    This is my setup here. Based on what I have, any recommendations on plumbing changes? The Jandy SWG cap is leaking so getting a replacement for that. Looks like I've got plenty of space to add the larger filter housing. Really need to get a new poured slab in there since this one has sank a...

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    It's more habit than necessity. But now is the time to get it right. Looking at the Pentair Clean & Clear Plus vs FullFloXF. Thought I had it almost settled and now I'm going down new rabbit holes. 😂

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    Not a fan of the Hayward locking mechanism. Was looking for something a bit easier to deal with. I'll check out the others!

    Replacing Hayward Star-Clear Plus - Jandy CS150 or CS200?

    It's screened. I clean it about every 6 weeks. I'll look into some 300 options. Thought that would be overkill.
