    How to Stop Water Flowing When Replacing SWG

    I'm going to be replacing my SWG soon. When I removed the cell to clean it in the past I haven't been able to stop water from flowing out of the pipe. I end up flooding a good portion of my yard. I've tried closing the valves for the skimmers and drains but no go. I figured there has to be some...

    Replace Jandy APURE14000 with PLC1400

    Has anyone here ever replaced a Jandy APURE1400 with the PLC1400? If so are they both the same length? I put the PLC1400 next to the APURE and the PLC looks a bit longer. I'm just trying to figure out if I'll need to be cutting some pipe. Thanks.

    Draining Pool - Should I Be Concerned

    I'm having tile replaced on my pool. The contractor wants to drain the entire pool (35K gallons) to do the job. Having never done this before, I'm having concerns with the amount of water being drained at one time. Draining into the street storm drain is not an option. I have a small storm drain...

    Jandy JVA 2440 Won't Stop Spinning

    I have a pool/spa combo. When the Aqualink RS system is in Auto mode, everything works OK. The program switches from pool mode to spa mode correctly. When I need to put the system in Service mode (to fill/drain the spa) and switch to Spa Fill or Spa Drain, the valve that controls the return...

    Calcium Hardness Increaser - is it all the same?

    I just bought a bucket of Target Pool Supplies brand Calcium Hardness Increaser. The label says, "For use with Baquacil chlorine and bromine based sanitizers. For use with residential commercial pools." Can I use this with my SWG chlorine pool? I didn't notice this label prior to purchase. My...

    I have a Jandy Aquapure SWG along with Aqualink RS One Touch controller. I'm finding that when I dial in the chlorine production to be appropriate for the pool, the chlorine in the spa is way too high. Is there a way to for the chlorine production to be different values when I'm in pool mode...

    DE in Pool and Main Drain Question

    I'm looking for some help with a problem I'm having. FYI, we did not install the pool. We bought our house last year and it was already here. I'm learning on the fly. The pool has been opened for a week. Ever since then, I noticed DE has been returning to the pool. After doing a search, I saw...

    Hello, I would like to get some assistance in getting my pool chemistry up to snuff. I have a 35K gallon SWG plaster pool. I went on vacation for two weeks and had the local pool store maintain the numbers. When we got back, I used the cheapo test strips and found that the FC wasn’t even...

    Hi, New pool owner here trying to find some help with pool problems. The other day I noticed that the pressure gauge on the DE filter was zero. Other than that everything seemed to be working fine. Had good suction on the skimmers and good pressure on the returns. I removed the filter basket...
