    Surge Protection

    When I bought my house a few years back, the pool panel had a Type 2 Intermatic surge protector installed (model IG1240RC3). I bought a new one a few years ago when the 1st one failed, and I replicated the same installation, but I am not sure the 1st one was installed correctly. Instead of being...

    Solar valve does not open any more

    My pool equipment is controlled by a Jandy panel model 6613 / 6614 and I have solar panels to heat the pool. The solar valve is triggered by a combination of 2 elements: the on/off from the panel, and a temperature sensor installed on the roof. When the solar heat is activated from the panel, it...

    Stenner Tank holding rain water

    I just installed my Stenner pump and tank and still tuning the dosage. I however have a question. The Stenner tank has a small reservoir area below the pump (there is a lip that goes around the flat top of the container). When it rains, this area fills with rain water. Do others face the same...

    Algae elimination

    Hello, First - THANK YOU for all the great advice on this site. I have been using one of the pool stores for many years and had algae on a regular basis, despite shocking my pool, using the tablets and using the pouches. That's until I read the material on TFP. I bought my Test Kit last week...
