Thank you Allen! Now to do a temp fix until the new kit arrives. Has anyone used Water-weld and it worked?

So we have a cracked union with our salt cell. Where do I get a new one to replace it? Does it have to be specific to the Jandy PLC 1400? Just found it tonight, so shut down the pump. (Was running pump at night to cool pool off through solar, so will have to figure this out in the morning...

This is what I am looking forward to again! :)

Thanks again! I have been old school and don't have the app yet....been doing the Legacy calculator and then have my handy paper trail log......LOL However....I haven't tracked the CSI so much, so it might be time to upgrade my pool tech skills! I appreciate your help and expertise...

Also....just for future reference....how high can CH go without being a problem? I have been using the pool calculator since 2011 and whenever I put in the test results it usually shows that I need to drain. I just have never done it until this year.

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks for the quick reply! FC--0.4 CC--0 pH--8.0 TA--130 CH--550 CYA--30 Salt--3.2 Sorry...I knew I should have added the water test results! Will the leaf stains go away after slamming and FC is at recommended levels?

We opened our 8 year old inground pool today and unfortunately found algae and leave stains for the first time ever--on sun shelf and steps. After testing the water, we decided we needed to drain some as our calcium hardness was up to 550 (kept creeping up every year). So we are draining half...

Ahhh...THANK YOU everyone! Didn't know some of this...that's why I love this forum! so appreciate your brains!! I'll keep a close eye on the ph and TA.... If I continue to keep my ph at 7.2 and aerate with the splashing I should be good, correct?

According to our Albuquerque water authority details it gives 7.3 hardness for our particular district. Not sure what that means? Our TA is constantly high here, so I tend to keep the ph around 7.2 and let the splashing be the aeration to get the TA down to normal parameters. Right now it...

Hi. I keep a running record on an excel sheet of all my test measurements. This is our 3rd summer for our pool and we started out with a CH reading of 140 ppm and got it to the correct goal of 300. Every year it has crept up and now after opening we are at 450 ppm! How is that when we...

Re: Closing a SWG pool with sunshelf and automatic safety co thanks Scott for your reply. I think we will hire a service but also wanted to get the opinions from this forum as well because I trust the information here.

Hi! New to closing as this was our first year with a pool. Have read through many posts about closing but haven't found the answer to our question concerning a 10" sunshelf and closing a pool with an automatic safety cover.---We have been told not to drain any of our water with the automatic...
