    Pump "Offline"??

    I have a Jandy control system and I have it running my winter schedule which keeps my VS pump running at a slow speed most of the day and then it ramps up a bit overnight. I also have freeze guard that turns the pumps on at a higher speed if the temp dips low. A couple of times in the past...

    Recalibrating Jandy Aquapure

    I just installed a Jandy Aquapure SWG, got all my levels right and just turned it on today. The salt sensor on the Aquapure is consistently 300ppm higher than the Taylor K-1766. When I tried to follow the instructions to calibrate it, I ran into a snag. Everything I read says to hold the...

They tried but ended up telling me that they thought the conduit must have collapsed because they couldn't pull the cord out. Today I had to drain a bunch...

    Enclosure for Dolphin Power Supply

    Pump shorted, can it be fixed?

    Noticed my breaker had tripped so I reset it, and within a few seconds it tripped again. When I opened up the wiring compartment on the pump, it was charred and you could smell the burn. Noticed that when the pump was installed, they didn't seal one of the openings into the compartment, so...
