    Filter Cartridge Help

    Hi, I'm going to replace my filter cartridge and I'm having trouble finding the right one. I just checked the manual from Jandy, and it lists the CS100, 150, 200, 250 (Pic attached). Looks like maybe the capacities and sizes are different. Can anyone help confirm the differences? Mine is 33...

    Spa Check Valve Replacement

    Hey all! I've done some research here and I think my problem is the spa check valve. My spa is draining down overnight. Not really below the jets, but close. I found a Jandy flapper replacement valve, looks like just some screws to remove the cover and swap out the flapper, is it that...

    3 PB Quotes (Southwest FL) - What would you do with these pools and quotes?

    Hi, we're getting ready to move from Houston, TX to Estero FL (SWFL near Naples/Ft Myers) and plan to have a new pool built after we close on the home. This is the first draft from our first PB, they are a higher end ($$) builder, but we're hoping that pays off in the long run. We do have 2...

    Need to install new spa & pool lights, is it hard?

    My spa light is out and my pool light is intermittent. I ordered the new spa light (Hayward SP0535SLED100) but haven't put it in yet. I've seen some videos and with the right safety (breakers, etc) it doesn't seem to hard to DIY, thoughts? Thanks, Jeff

    Hurricane - Chemistry following Harvey Flooding

    Hi All, we are getting back to pool maintenance, post-Harvey, and had a few questions to run past the forum. We got 30" of rain, but I loaded the pool up on bleach before the storm. We then evacuated for a week. No home damage, fortunately, so now I can focus on the pool. I drained partially...

    Why are my spa lights changing colors so rapidly?

    Hi, I've got a light in my pool and one in my spa. I don't know the make, but can look. The problem is the spa light is very rapidly changing colors, at least once a second, it's almost like a strobe light. Has anyone had this happen, any ideas what could cause that? Thanks, Jeff

    TX Torrential rains & my recent SLAM

    Hi, so I just finished my first SLAM 2 weeks ago and enjoyed a clean clear pool with great numbers until the storms hit. Monday night we had torrential downpours overnight in Houston, between 6-10 inches fell, and I woke up to a Pre-SLAM looking pool, in just 12 hours! The numbers and picture...

    First (and last) SLAM Completed - My Thoughts and Advice

    Long story short, bad pool store advice had me keeping my FC at 1-3 with pucks (adding CYA in the process), with me allowing it to go to zero, not knowing any better. Enter Algae, more pool store bad advice, lots of money spent on quick fixes, and constantly clogging cartridge filters for a...
