I received and installed my WaterGuru Sense 2 today. After the first test, some of the results differ greatly from my Taylor tests WaterGuru FC - 5.1 TA - 99 CYA - 86 Taylor FC - 1.5 TA - 80 CYA - 60 Should I not trust WaterGuru? Should I not trust my own tests? Thanks.

What could be causing this crazy calcium build-up on my salt cell? This cell is 3 months old. Just did the test today and calcium is at 425. It consistently tests 425-450 range. I don't observe calcium anywhere else in the pool

My pool gets a fair amount of pine needles. I've been using Zodiac MX8 but it's been very frustrating. Can someone recommend a good suction cleaner that would handle the job. Thanks.

I am seeing error codes 120 or 121 show up intermittently on my system. It's a Jandy system with Chemlink 1900. The cell looks clean showing a bit of corrosion inside, but it's hard to see inside. the salt lever is 3600. the cell is about two years old. Any ideas on what else to check before I...

Hello, all. I have the Zodiac MX8 suction cleaner. Overall it does a good job, but..... I have pine needles that get to the pool and the cleaner consistently gets stuck. Needles wrap around the inside and the only way to clean it is to completely disassemble the unit and put it back together. Is...

I am going through a SLAM process now. During SLAM I had to backwash my DE filter. Should I add DE since some of it was washed out? I normally don't backwash my filter at all but rather just do a full clean every 4-6 month.

My Jandy equipment was giving me trouble and a tech came in to check it. My Taylor kit shows salt at about 3200-3400. He used a fancy electronic meter which showed salt at about 4100. I couldn't believe it because salt wasn't added to the pool since it was refilled 2 years ago and I couldn't...

My pool is salt so I was running my CYA at 70-80 range. Last couple of month my SWG is not working so I am manually chlorinating water. Doing a test last week I noticed that my CYA is at 30, which is withing range for a manually chlorinated pool, but I just realized that CYA should never go down...

I've noticed some algae on the bottom of my pool few days ago. It wasn't much and the water was still clear all the way to the bottom. As advised here I started a SLAM process. I actually miscalculated a bit and instead of advised 20ppm SLMA level took it all the way to 30ppm. After two days of...

I have a SWG installed and salt in my pool. Because of some issues with my equipment I've been manually chlorinating the pool for the past few months. After a vacation I see some green on the bottom and need to do a SLAM treatment. Should I be using SWG or Non-SWG numbers? Thank you.

I am using Jandy's SWG with their ChemLink system. It seems like that the chlorine level is staying too low in the pool. Since the ChemLink is suppose to control chlorine production based on ORP it's a little tricky. My OPR is now set at 650 and the chlorine is only 1.5ppm FC - 1.5 CC - 0.5 pH...

I am new to pool ownership and still trying to figure things out. I have what's suppose to be a salt water pool, but having issues with my cell. For now I've been adding liquid chlorine to keep things going. What I am noticing is that my clorine level drops very quickly. It goes from 3.5 level...

I guess my question is similar to many others. I am tried of fighting with my MX8 and ready to switch to an automatic cleaner. My pool is a free form about 40 x 20. Deep end is about 8ft. I've been eyeing Polaris 9550. One feature that was appealing to me is the remote control. what drives me...

After finally getting a hang of keeping my pool in check for about a month I ran into another problem. My chlorine is nearly at zero in my salt water pool. I have my swg running at a 100% (it was running at 30%) but it's still not coming up. Water looks clean. The only other test that's coming...

I have a Barracuda MX8 vacuum that I've been fighting with. It's just hasn't been consistent. In my trial and error testing I found that my pump needs to be running at 2900RPM to make this thing run. There is a test of how long it takes for wheels to turn 10 times. Does this sound right? I...

I am new to pool ownership and desperately looking for help. I have a new Jandy variable speed pump - ePump JEP 2.0 Where can I find some kinds if chart or a table that shows the flow rate (GPM) at various speeds. I am trying to figure out how long I should be running my equipment and at what...

I am hoping someone with experience can help me figure this out. I am buying the C1900 ChemLink to be used with my Salt Water Chlorinator. I am trying to control pH level as well, and I can't figure out if the C1900 comes with a pump or do I need to buy a separate Stenner Pump with a tank? I've...

We are in a process of updating our pool. It would include installation of a salt chlorination and some automation. I was planning on going with Hayward Aqua Plus system in combination with their Sense & Dispense unit with a pH acid automatic dispenser. My builder is pushing a Jandy system...

I just bought a house with a pool. The previous owner drained the pool couple of month ago because of a leak in the skimmer. This seems like the best time to do all the repairs and get the pool going ASAP. Here are some questions that I hope to get help with - The pool has copper pipes going to...
