I have to replace two LED lights in my pool that are shot. I was wondering which brand y'all recommended. The Jandy ones I had lasted 4-6 years. I'm thinking about going that route, but someone recommended J&J Electronics as a good brand that's quite a bit cheaper. I'd rather pay more for...

Hey y'all. I've got two Jandy LED lights in my main pool (and one in my attached hot tub for three total). This past weekend I noticed that none of it was working. Figured out that my main pool ones were tripping the GFCI. All three lights are on the same GFCI, and as long as I don't turn on my...

Can you use food grade DE in your DE filter or is the makeup/way it's made so different that it would mess things up? I use DE around the house (control bugs, etc.), and it would be nice to be able to use the food grade stuff in the pool so I don't have to have the "dangerous" version laying around.

I just bought a new house, and the pool has two of the LED lights in the pool and one in the hot tub. When we did the initial inspection on the house, we noticed that one of the GFCIs that was linked to the lights was blown. They said it was due to the light being bad, so they disconnected the...

Have any of y'all tried these things out yet? Seems like a good product, but easy-to-install things very rarely last...

Hey everyone. I just bought a new house, and I wanted to find out how effective the Ozone thing they have is... First question - From the research that I've done, I still need to use chlorine in addition to the ozone thing. According to the PoolCalculator (that I've been using to maintain my...

My automatic valves have been acting up recently, so I removed them with the plan of replacing them next season. I was wondering though since my pool has an automated freeze guard that switches between pool and spa mode how I'll do it manually during the freezing months this winter. My idea was...

Before I replace this thing I figured I'd ask the experts here at TFP. Pentair was very little help given the cruddy 1 Year Warranty. My cell has been working great since it was installed in October of 2013 until this weekend. Now, the only light that is lit is the salt light which is red...

So it's my first winter with my newly built pool, and I had a question as far as getting it ready for winter. My pump has the FreezeGuard feature that kicks on when the outside temperature hits 35 degrees. My question though is about the automatic valves that turn my spa on and off. My pool has...

So, I decided to finally pull the trigger on a SWG system and it's going in early next week. I've been playing around with the numbers on the pool calculator thing, and I'm slightly concerned with regards to the CSI... Here are my numbers using Trichlor... pH - 7.6-7.8 TA - 80 CH - 270 CYA -...

Despite 90-100 degree Texas heat my chlorine levels are rising each week. It was at 7 last week and now it's at almost 9, and I've turned down the setting on my inline trichlor thing. I know trichlor isn't the way to go, and I plan to put in an SWG system next year, but for now I'm dealing with...

I'm thinking about switching my pool over to salt water and I wanted to get everyone's opinion on installing it myself. Is it fairly straightforward or should I pay my PB to install it for me. They're quoting me $1500 for the Pentair system, salt (I know that part is cheap) and the install...

Just got a new pool put in my house and my PB says that I don't need to worry about TA right now and just to focus on pH and FC. They're telling me that the TA will level itself out. I've been doing a ton of research over the past week, and I'm starting to think that the PB is incorrect and I DO...
