    Jandy PDA comms loss with Aqualink RS

    Lost communication between the remote control and Aqualink control box. Tried the procedure to change the frequency channel using Channel Setup on the PDA and the transceiver "learn" mode switch. Did not get PDA message to take transceiver out of learn mode. The Transceiver unit "appeared" to be...

    Jandy Aquapure 1400 with PureLink, codes 125 and 154

    Subject codes are indicated on the PureLink display. I know 125 is "cell needs to be cleaned or replaced". It is clean, so not looking good. The cell is out of warranty, installed about 2 1/2 years ago. I can't find a code 154 for this equipment. I have a troubleshooting guide with voltages for...

    Christmas dinner - what's on the menu?

    We're having a standing rib roast. I've done these a few times in the past in the smoker but the one I used required a lot of babysitting to stoke the firebox and adjust the dampers to regulate the air flow to try and hold the temperature somewhat constant. This year we'll just be baking it in...

    Any Dutch Oven enthusiasts here?

    We went camping last weekend at Lake Livingston State Park (East Texas). In the past if we did any cooking in camp it was either on the grill or using a Coleman camp stove. We grilled some burgers Friday night but on Saturday we had two Dutch Oven meals for six adults and two kids. I bought a...

    Need suggestions for spa cover

    Need a cover for our attached spa (below). It's nominally 6x9. Not interested in spending several hundred dollars (or more) for a custom made cover, at least not at this time. The intent of the cover is strictly to keep the spa clean of debris, not concerned with insulating properties. My idea...

    Stucco recommendations?

    I just finished tile & grout on my build and just about ready to apply stucco. What type(s) would be recommended and where to obtain it? (Houston area) Pre-colored or mix it yourself? I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 sq ft to cover.

    Jandy PureLink / Aquapure 1400 question

    If the PureLink is in Service mode and you run the chlorine rate up to some % > 0 (like 100 for example), why doesn't it indicate Flow and Cell On? How do you know at this point that it is really producing chlorine? System is working in Auto (through the program or turning on using PDA), just...

    Jandy AquaPure 1400 - salt readout high (erroneous)

    Back in January the salt level reported by the SWG did not agree with pool store readings but the water temp was very cold so did not worry about it based on what I had read on this site. Now the water temp is up around 69-70 and I have a 1000 PPM difference between the SWG readout and pool...

    Salt water pool - sealing requirements

    Currently in the bidding phase of a new pool project. We are going for a salt water pool with flagstone coping and moss rock waterfall. Have been given conflicting info from the two PBs we have met with so far. First PB says sealing of the flagstone and moss rock is required initially and every...
