    Replacing Jandy pump and aqua link board

    I currently have a Jandy 1.5 HP single speed pump with the Jandy Aqualink RS6six controler. My pool and spa are approx 19-20k gal and chlorine based with a gas heater. I plan to do the work myself. I am looking to replace the pump with a Jandy variable speed pump and wondering what size I...

    I need to replace my cracked Jandy Filter.

    Thanks. I am thinking of getting the Pentair clean and clear 420. From what I understand its pretty equivalent and it supposedly will connect directly to the current piping. If anyone has info on this model please let me know. I think I can pick one up from Amazon for about $800. Which is $200...

    I need to replace my cracked Jandy Filter.

    Unfortunately, Jandy will not cover it as a warranty and will not sell it directly. They gave me a part number and after looking it up I found that this is a very common problem. Some people claim the bottom doesn't work with the older tops and the cost is about $400. So now I need to see how...

    I need to replace my cracked Jandy Filter.

    Not s I am not sure if its flaw or a mistake I made when I was tightening the clamp and not evening out the pressure.

    I need to replace my cracked Jandy Filter.

    I somehow have developed a crack in my Jandy filter and need to replace it. I tried using epoxy to seal the inside and outside where the crack is (around the intake pipe at the top) but after a few weeks that is failing. Which I am not terribly surprised by. I am a contractor who has built...

    Thank you. PH is staying steady for now and pool looks amazing. I will keep in mind what to do if the PH fluctuates.

    I haven't yet but may. I am a part-time wine maker so swirling comes pretty naturally for me. I really appreciate the slow rise advice and have been trying to do just that. After already having to drain the pool to start over I am hyper sensitive to not mess things up and sometimes worry I am...

    Happy new TFP user and Refilling Empty Pool

    We actually get our water from the Sierra's out of the outingdale water system and lakes just above El Dorado Hills. After reading your post I figured I should call the Water district and find out what their levels are. They said that we have incredibly low mineral levels and that they keep the...
