Link to pump https://www.jandy.com/-/media/zodiac/global/downloads/h/h0311700.pdf Link to Aqualink panel https://www.pioneerfamilypools.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/aqualink_pda.pdf When I power on the vs pump, it goes to what sounds like full speed (I don't have the plumbing hooked up, just...

I am replacing my Jandy Stealth single speed pump with a new to me Jandy ePump (JEP 1.5). https://www.jandy.com/-/media/zodiac/global/downloads/h/h0311700.pdf The manual doesn't say how to wire the 2 hots wires L1 & L2 (I do have the green wire to ground on the pump) but there is a label on the...

I need a replacement float assembly for my 10 year old Liquidator and I'm having trouble finding where I can order one from. It seems the threads are coming detached from the housing so I can try and re-glue them on, but I'm sure it would only be a temporary solution. Here is a link to Amazon to...

I have an 8 year old Jandy Stealth single speed pump. It gets used about 5 months of the year and is running about 8hrs a day. When the pool is shut down I rinse and dry it as best I can and store the pump in our basement. I'm wondering if it's worth while taking the pump apart and replace the...

I currently have a single stage pump (Jandy SHPM 1HP). The pump sits about 4'9" above the water level and about 30' from the pool. I have measured the suction to be about 8"mg and the pressure about 10"mg (with the filter almost needing cleaning). It has two inlet pipes, one from the skimmer at...

I've had my pool for about 7 years and have done all the maintenance on it myself. I noticed every spring when I opened, I had to add stabilizer to bring it up to about 30 (using the liquidator and 12% chlorine) and I assumed this was due to the pool water being diluted in the summer with rain...

I have a Jandy legacy natural gas heater that is giving me an ignition fault and will not light. I have followed this problem flow chart from this link (click on downloads tab, and it's on the bottom of the page under H0299500.pdf) and it seems I am not getting voltage between ground and where...

My dilemma is I'm going away for a week on vacation and the pool this time of year with all the leaves and stuff in the air, needs the skimmer cleaned just about once a day. So I figure my two choices are; 1. Put the winter pool cover on now until I get back (and keep the...

I'm writing from Toronto, and we have had very unseasonally warm weather this last week (up in the 60-70's). I took off one of the corners of our cover to drain some water from the pool and noticed some green algae starting to form on one of the steps (it brushed off very easily). The problem...

My water level right now is about the same as the return water jets, and I'm wondering if the water freezes at this level, can it damage the plastic return jets or the water pipes connected to the return jets? Normally we get more rain at this point but it has been drier than most years because...

I have a laminar waterfall that drains into my pool, and I have to seal the underneath lip of the waterfall where it extends out from the stones to prevent water from spilling under the lip and entering the stone structure where the waterfall is built into. Is there a particular type of sealant...

Had a laminar waterfall installed with the pool two years ago. Last summer I decided to try my cyclone blower to see if it could blow the water out of the lines OK prior to winter as I close the pool myself now. All went well and the blower cleared the lines OK, but I noticed a short while later...

I was testing the seal on my return jets once they were blown out and capped. I tested the seals by turning on the blower (a Cyclone Vac) and splashing some water over the seals/plugs on the return. I did see some bubbles coming out, and a little extra twist sealed them all fine. I was...

Going to close next week and just wondering what you all do with the water and chlorine left over in the LQ when closing? I want to bring the unit indoors for winter. I was thinking since I haven't shocked yet maybe I could crank the LQ wide open for that, but even still I'm sure there will be...

Now that it has cooled off, my pool is around 60f and probably won't warm up beyond that. Should I still keep the same FC level as I was when using it in the summer, or can i back it off somewhat? Currently my CYA is 30, so I target FC at 4.

These caps seem to be very loose in the threads when I screw them into the return jets. The pool builder used them last year when he closed and I was going to use them this year when I close myself, but they do seem to be very loose. I have to use a lot of Teflon tape to get them to at least...

I started a thread here about my shop vac and if it's powerful enough to blow out my pool lines. Well I tried it today (it's a 4hp shop vac from Home Depot), and it blow the lines out OK, but not my waterfall.... :? My waterfall is about 3' above the waterline, so I guess I need something that...

I have a 10,000 gal IG that I want to close this fall myself. It doesn't have a main drain, but does have a water fall that is about 3' above the water line that will need to be blown out. I have a Ridgid 4hp shop vac and I'm wondering if this will be enough? I have also seen some links to a...

Wondering what may cause this? My numbers are right where they should be. It's just around the water line, and slightly above it. I have tried magic eraser, vinyl cleaner (it contains enzymes), pure chlorine, and diluted muric acid, none of which seems to remove this. Is there anything else I...

I have a Hayward off line chlorinator I am no longer using, and would like to remove the two lines that feed it coming off the 2" PVC pipe. My first question is, is there enough "meat" in the PVC pipe to tap and have enough threads to hold a plug? Other question is , if it was a 3/8" hole that...

Mine sits in direct light for a couple hours in the morning, and was wondering about painting the bottom part to reduce the UV light exposure. Is there any type of paint that anyone would recommend (are there any that prevent UV light)?

As the title suggests, do I use the SWG chart or the non-SWG chart if I am using a LQ to determine my CYA/chlorine ratio?

I currently have a Hayward Tigershark. It cleans the pool well, but it also has some annoying habits so I and up having to "babysit" it (and quite often have to turn it off, or pick it up and throw it into the pool to stop it from hanging up on things). I was looking at a Hayward Sharkvac as I...

As you can see in my sig., I have an in-ground vinyl pool and have a Hayward Tigershark cleaner. It cleans the pool well, but it also has some annoying habits so I and up having to "babysit" it (and quite often have to turn it off, or pick it up and throw it into the pool to stop it from hanging...

Which do people find works best with the LQ? I am currently using 12% chlorine from the pool store daily for my chlorinating needs, so I'm wondering when my LQ shows up if I can continue to use the 12%, or does 6% help prevent some of the white stuff (I'll be doing the 3/8" mod)?

I have a very small equipment pad, and as such am limited as to where I can place a Liquidator. The best spot would be right next to the heater, so the In line to the liquidator would be very short (I assume you can tap off a pipe coming out of the heater?), but the line to the pump would be...

Here are my numbers; FC = 5 CC = 0 TC = 5 PH = 7.6 TA = 60 CH = 90 CYA = 40 Borates = 50 Temp = 88F The last couple of days I have been burning up between 4-6 FC a day. I did a drop test last night and it only dropped 1, so I guess those numbers are normal for me. The last two days have been...

According to the chlorine/CYA chart, if my CYA is at 40, then I need to shoot for min of 3, and a target of 5. If my CYA is 80, then I need a min of 6, and target of 9 for the chlorine. lets say pool "A" has a CYA of 40, and pool "B" has a CYA of 80, and they are both at the target levels of...

I have a dark (although very subtle) ring a few inches above the water line on our vinyl liner. I bought some vinyl cleaner from local spa shop called "Ultrashine vinyl & leather cleaner" and if I use it with a sponge, the dark rings will come off, but it does take a bit of elbow grease. I was...

Just trying to figure out roughly my hourly cost to run my heater. It's a Jandy Legacy heater, 175,000BTU. I know my gas cost per cubic meter, so just wondering roughly how much gas a 175,000 heater would go through in an hour?
