I thought about that too, certainly no dripping or anything that obvious. Unfortunately the weather is too cold now for the walls to dry where I might be able to notice one area staying wet longer than the others. Maybe I’ll try to shoot some dye tomorrow in front of each jet.

Yeah, I did and the technician did. Nothing obvious on any of them. That’s why he wants to chip the plaster away around each of them to inspect them more.

They’ve been plugged the whole time aside from when I did that test described above to confirm there was no water in them. It leaks with all 10 jets plugged. Do you have any idea how I can help him identify which one(s) are the problem? I’m imagining attaching some sort of a gasket or...

Oh I should also clarify that the 10 jets are actually 5 connected to my main pump which also circulates my pool and 5 connected to a booster pump. The air blower has 2 lines, one to connect to main pump spa return, and one to connect to the booster pump return, and a manual valve so I can...

I wasn’t home for that part so not sure exactly what he did, but before he got there I lowered the water level to below the jets, immediately pulled the rubber plugs and turned on the air blower and no water came out of any of them. That alone seems definitive.

Looking for suggestions. I had previously posted last off-season about a spa leak that, with TFPs help, we determined by dye test to be the spa light conduit. See attached photo from last year to help illustrate. Anyway, I’m currently leaking again at a rate of 1/2” per day. I’ve run a number...

Is anybody able to confirm that a check valve placed as indicated on the attachment would eliminate this? Thanks!

I have an autocover on the pool, so my “pool mode” does not include a spa spillover. I engage that manually whenever the pool is actually open. My normal operation is 11 hours of pump time in pool mode and 1 hour of spa mode daily. If I don’t actually use the pool or engage spillover all...

When I switch into spa mode via iaqualink, my filter pump stops, my suction side JVA switches from pool suction to spa suction, and my return side JVA switches from pool return to spa return, then the filter pump starts up. The timing was setup properly so that the JVAs complete their movement...

Mine are Hayward Colorlogic.

Here is my dye test on the spa light. I had to do it a few times to put the dye in a place where it would convincingly get sucked in before some of it just fell too far. I think this is pretty compelling, what do you guys with the trained eyes think? The steel sleeve had 0 action.

So… assuming I have it right, rather than digging up my pool deck and making a mess, they could still just pull out the light from the conduit and seal it, because this burst pipe is just an electrical conduit, it doesn’t have to actually be intact, and as long as water is no longer making its...

I just ordered some dye to help as you suggested, thanks! You bring up another great point I hadn’t considered. I‘ve been trying to correlate the level of the leak with a landmark inside of the spa. I’ve looked back at old pictures during the construction to see how the plumbing was done...

Thanks for your help guys, but there are some new wrinkles now that I’ve collected more information and it seems I was likely incorrect about the spa light. My pool builder has not yet given me a date for them to come inspect so I’ve been trying to figure out the source myself. I initially...

Sorry guys for being unclear. I have an auto-fill line, so for better or worse, I never noticed any problems during the actual pool season. During the first off-season, I did what I did this year which is open my pool/spa auto-covers on a nice day early in the off-season to see how things...

Hoping for some insight on whether my theory makes sense: I have an in-ground pool and spa with spillover. This is my 2nd off-season. I let the pool builder close the first time, and noticed a slow leak in my pool water level during the off-season. They inspected and realized they forgot to...

Final results: 7:30am- 6 1lb bags of 73% calhypo added (theoretically bringing FC to 18) 9am- FC 12 - 0.5 or less CC. 2 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine added 10:20am-15.5 FC - 0.5 or less CC. 1 gallon of 10% liquid chlorine added 11:30am- 15 FC - 0 CC. 1 gallon of 10% liquid chlorine added...

The water has been crystal clear from even before I started the SLAM process, so I’ve met 2 of 3 criteria the whole time. I don’t want to drag this out onto multiple days if I can avoid it, so my question was just how many more rounds of topping up the FC to 18 with 0 CC present before I can...

SLAM in progress, results so far: SLAM target FC 18 7:30am- 6 1lb bags of 73% calhypo added (theoretically bringing FC to 18) 9am- FC 12 - 0.5 or less CC. 2 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine added 10:20am-15.5 FC - 0.5 or less CC. 1 gallon of 10% liquid chlorine added 11:30am- 15 FC - 0 CC. 1...

So I got my K2006 kit. Nothing really changed after the shock treatment I mentioned above. Maybe the first day or two was slight better, but ultimately I drifted back down to 0-0.5 FC with 80% SWG run time. I added some liquid bleach yesterday and measured 3.5 FC via FAS-DPD 45 minutes later...

Thanks for the response Texas Splash. I ordered a Taylor K-2006 kit yesterday and will have it in a few days. All I currently have is a lesser taylor kit that only lets me approximate FC up to 5ppm, and test strips that approximate up to 20ppm. I saw your message yesterday morning and figured...

Hello, sorry in advance for the long message! This is my first full season with my new pool in Maryland. I have been having some issues maintaining proper FC levels. I have a pool and spa, both of which have auto covers. Pool is ~33,000gal, spa about ~2500gal. I have all Jandy products...

Hello all, I have been doing research on quartz pool finishes for my new pool. My builder likes to use the CL Industries product lines. I have been comparing Sunstone Select, Sunstone and Krystalkrete. I’ve read the blurb on the company website: “SunStone and Krystalkrete use the same sized...
