Pretty simple actually. Just put a handful of pillow stuffing or a couple hair nets in the filter basket. It's a two pronged fix I think. 1. The bugs get trapped in the filter material and can't come back out, and 2. The material seems to diffuse the current coming back through the Betta...

Just got a new SE and it's working great. If anyone is having issues with small bugs and debris coming out of the Betta when it backs up, I solved the problem by putting some fiber fill / filter floss in the skimmer basket. I have a screened pool in Florida and I have a continuous supply of...

Yeah I have that diagram but it doesn't show you what has to be done to open up access to the exchanger.

Another strange thing, to me.. There is some salt residue on the the old failed ignitor (salt water pool). Is there any way pool water can leak around there? After replacing the high temp limit switch a few weeks ago, I was surprised how humid the exhaust was...almost like a steam bath. Is...

The ignitor reads 57 ohms. Is there a chance it's still bad? I don't really want to spend $60 on another ignitor just to find out the issue is something else. Also, should I be concerned about where the rest of this ended up?

No signs at all that it ever ignites. It was the old spiral design. I'll check it with a multimeter. Thanks.

My 5 year old Jandy JXI-400 NG is throwing an ignition fault and not igniting/heating. When it is attempting to start, the exhaust is blowing and I can smell gas each of the 3 times it tries to start. After some initial research I ordered a new ignitor and replaced it. The old ignitor element...

Yes, I took all of the ancillary pieces off and there is no debris. The impeller is spinning fine and the robot is moving through the pool and vacuuming, just not changing directions.

I have a call into Marina regarding my 2.5 yr old Pentair Warrior SE but I wanted to check here as well if there was anyone familiar with an easy fix. It seems to me that the directional actuator is not working. When I do a powerup test out of the water, the actuator doesn't move but the drive...

Just got a call back from support, informing me that they're back online. My pool shows online now.

:-) Caddyshack reference? We're starting out with the bar pretty low if it's an achievement when the vendor realizes and accepts the fact their cloud app is fubar'd.

I called them this morning first thing and reported the issue. They hadn't heard of any issues and wanted to start diagnosing my specific network connection. I tried to convince them there was a more widespread outage and pointed them to this thread as well as to their twittter account where...

No, it never makes a connection. The status at the "Owners Center" page says "Your iAquaLink is offline. Please contact technical support, or your installer. ". I really thought I had a network issue until I found out that lots of other folks were having the issue. My device is hardwired with...

Delray Beach FL here. Logging out/in does nothing. My device shows "offline"

Down here in S. Florida. It didn't seem to have he same symptoms as last time and I was thinking about digging into my network to see what broke. Thankfully found this thread first. It's totally ridiculous that a web based service such as this doesn't have 24 hour tech support on call.

Does anyone know what happened to the next generation of Jandy automation that was supposed to be out in 2018? Can’t seem to find anything on it other than some old videos. Reminds me of Dunder Mifflin Infinity.

I'm having somewhat of a difficult time with the chlorine level balancing act. It seems like I'm always either trying to get my chlorine level to drift down, or I'm trying to bring it back up. Once I think I'm reaching the optimal setting the weather or some other factor affects my daily loss...

Thanks Jim, My last pool had the same type of overflow in the skimmer. It won't keep up with a massive FL downpour but it will catch up and eventually drain all the water. Clogging could be an issue but my pool is screened and very little debris is floating on the surface when the pool is...

South Florida pool here. It seems like every time we get a few days of rain put together my overflow drain system stops working. The pool is less than 1 yr old and I had the PB come out a couple times and "blow out" the line which involves running water back into the drain plumbing at the...

Sorry just saw this question now. So far the grout is fine. It's grey so I think it will be a while before it really shows as dirty. I actually haven't cleaned it yet. I do wish that all of the grout had the same "wet look" as the actual wet grout does. I'm wondering if there's something I...

Was at the local Pinch a Penny the other day and they had two types of salt. The more expensive blue bag said it contained "stain inhibitors". I asked one of the employees what the stain inhibitor was in the blue bag and they said "it inhibits stains". I bought the white bag. Anyone know...

Another thing I'd suggest is to move the light in the spa to the opposite wall. Try to avoid the possibility of that shining in your eyes while sitting on your deck. Those things are really bright.

I'm not really an expert on filter selection. This is my third pool and all 3 have had cartridges. Seems to be the common choice around here.

Fair enough. That plan sounds like it would work. You can add restriction via valves to the feature pump to dial down the waterfalls if necessary. I'd still make sure you have the ability to (via automation) turn off as much aeration as possible. You'll want to run the pool in normal mode...

Not too many but here's one:

I can only speak from my experience. I originally got a single speed 1.5 HP feature pump and everything was a overdriven and very loud. I made the PB come back (paid some $$) and replace it. We actually like the bubblers just breaking the surface. It sort of makes a babbling brook sound...
