Occasionally one of my family members forgets to turn the spa off and the jets, air blower, heater, etc are left on all night if I'm not around to notice. I'd like to install a user-friendly controller that will automatically turn all spa features off after 5 hours if left on. I have an old...

Nope

Get an electric salt probe from amazon (the testing strips suck) or take a sample into Leslies. Compare it to the manufacturer's recommended levels in the manual to make sure you don't have to add salt (should only need to add a bag or two a year depending on usage or backwashing).

I'm troubleshooting my salt cell since lately the service light has been coming on and off (seems to happen randomly about half the day it's solid on with no visible gas being produced, otherwise sometimes service light is off and working fine). Warranty department has been really slow to get...

I've been doing 12 hours at 100% which did okay, but might have worn it out prematurely as it stopped working after only 2 years. Would be nice to run it less. CYA is at 60

I have a 28k pool and most of the sizes available won't get me the recommended 2-3x capacity. My SJ-40 isn't cutting it and I want to upgrade. Question: if I get the SJ-55 version, is the cell plug and play? Can I just get a SJ-55 replacement cell and swap it into my SJ-40...

Indeed, looking for ideas about where it's coming from and how to prevent it. I have the PSI limit set.

I don't think we're on the same page with the flow function of a VSP. It has two target modes, set RPM or GPM. This is more efficient than constant RPM pumps. If I set RPM mode at 2400 RPM, it produces around 45 GPM, then after a few months (or shorter per this thread) it's only pushing...

The whole point of variable flow pump is to set GPM. If I set 2450 RPM, as soon as the filter PSI rises my flow drops. If I set a target GPM, the RPM will start low and slowly rise as required as the filter gets dirty. More energy efficient.

Sometimes it gets dusty, but not really much in the past month or two. This is a relatively new issue (started sometime in the past few months). Pressure gauge works fine. Low flow and high PSI is immediately fixed when I wash out the filters. FC=2.0 TC=2.0 PH=8.0 CYA=60 TA=100 CH=350...

My pool guy just cleaned my cartridge filters and it hasn't even been 2 weeks and my flow is down to nothing with PSI 10+ higher. This is a recurring problem, I always have to clean the filters myself once or twice a month in between the 3 month cleanings the pool guy does (3 months is average...

My flow to the pool has dropped to almost zero, even after cleaning and replacing the filter. PSI on the filter tank reads 16, which is just below the "start" mark and well below the "clean" mark, so the problem is elsewhere. Where is the pressure sensor on the pump itself? Does it just sense...

Nope, no one in the pool actually.

My past few filter cleanings had a significant amount of this stuff that looks like diaper silica, soft and rubbery to the touch. Any ideas about where it's coming from? Hadn't seen it in past years and if I could prevent it my filter would be much happier.

My pump runs 12 hours per day and SWG is set to 100%. CYA is 80. With a floater that should be enough by my math. But sure, I'll buy a bigger system...though I'm not convinced my pool will stay clear while I'm gone with any of the brainwashed pool services out there. So if most pools are...

I used to frequent TFP and maintain my own pool...maintained a full year of perfect water with zero issues. But then I had to start traveling for work (often 4+ weeks at a time), so I figured I'd hire a pool service. Each summer, my pool turned green. The services all follow the same pattern...

My pool light always leaks and trips the breaker. I take it apart, clean it, let it dry out, install a new gasket, follow youtube guides to seal it back up etc, but it's never lasted more than a month or two (sometimes less). Any last recommendations before I replace the whole thing ($$$) ...

I removed the control panel off the wall and did not see a backup battery. Maybe it's in the outside unit?

Pretty much what the title says. If the control panel loses power (i.e. power outage or I turn the breaker off to work), when power comes back on, the clock is wrong, backlight setting is back on (normally I set it to off), and the jet pump is on-indicator illuminated, and running in the actual...

Jandy AquaLink RS Pool/Spa Combo 8 System (RS-PS8) I like the idea of just replacing the motor, sounds DIY-able since I don't have to mess with re-doing piping. Will look into this!
