I have these simple old spa jets in my spa. A while back a pool guy managed to replace a broken one but I never got the name or brand from him. Now I have a new one that came out and broke up into pieces. Any thoughts from the builder/plumber experts? I took pictures of the jet insert that...

OK, so I added CYA in say March, then when returning from vacation around early July realized it was zero, so I did a bunch of stuff, the pool was setup pretty well. CYA was 70-80, SWG, TA 90, CH 300-350 Now about 40 days later, I'm at: CYA <20 maybe zero TA 120 CH ~400 FC 1 or less Now in...

Was asking about this in my normal build thread but any feedback on owners that have cover-pools auto safety cover? Specifically did you do a hidden (sunken) design, with a lid and recessed box. I'm considering either vanishing lid (coping on lid) where the cover bar hides under the lid, or...

I'm considering doing the plumbing on my pool myself as the bids are over $5,000 and I can rent the mini excavator and buy the pipe myself and just get it done. I have questions on the critical parts. The spa jets I found install guides for so I think I have that figured out. The pool light...

I have a similar question, have been on the fence between 2 pump and 1 pump solution for spa jets and pool/spa heating/circulation. I initially had 1 pump, but wanted a few more jets, then went to 2 pumps, one being dedicated to the spa jets. Now I talked to a plumber who suggested the...

I would like to use 10 waterway poly storm jets in the spa with 10GPM each, so 100GPM. According to Hydraulics 101, I would need perhaps a 3" suction and 3" return (or 2 2.5" return spa loops) It seems I might be at 16' of head, plus pump and jets. Hard to figure out jet head loss but I saw a...

So I'm going all Jandy, Pool/Spa combo. New build. Was really wanting to use the versa-plumb kit to help with space on equipment pad. seems like I might be able to mod it to fit the Intelliflo if I want with that pump over the JEP1.5 ePump. Should I still go out of my way to use the...

I'm second guessing my equipment choice. I was going all Jandy and with about 11,500 gallons pool (and spa included). I was going to get the PLC700 (rated to 12,000 gallons). Now I read the manual and it mentioned for southern california and warmer areas with longer season to upgrade to 1400...

So it begins! I've been working on this for some time, I'll be posting as much info and questions in regards to my efforts to build the pool owner/builder with myself as the general contractor. It's in San Diego County, and I'll relate sub-contractor experiences as well. Got the permit today...

Hello TFPers I'm currently designing my ideal pool/spa setup, and I have specific Aqualink questions. Right now I'm leaning towards all Jandy equipment (with exception of pentair VS/VF pumps, color LED pentair bubblers, and that's it so far.) Attached is a diagram for plumbing to the pad...

I'm currently planning a new pool build. A couple PBs offered upgrades to use these twirlybyrd jets. I'm currently thinking 7 ft circle spa with 6 jets. (seems pretty standard) http://twirlybyrd.net Anyway they spec 20-30 GPM for best performance. So if I take the most GPM scenario I would...

Hello all, I'm currently in the process of planning a build for a pool. It's probably about 15x30 and a spa too. Possible water slide as well. I've looked at lots of equipment and it seems that I would rate pentair first and jandy second in most of what I read. However general quality or...
