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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Does anyone have any slick ideas for organizing the various test kits they use? The case that the TF-100 comes in leaves a bit to be desired organization-wise and when all that gear is combined with a speed-stir, a sample bottle, borax strips, a NACL test kit, and various test vials, I'm...

Current test results: FC 5.5 CC 0 PH 7.7 TA 60 CH 300 CYA 50 Borates 30 I'm working to get CH, CYA, and Borates up a bit after the week long deluge we've had down here in S. Florida. I've probably overflowed about 8" of water from the pool. What I'm wondering, actually, is should I ever have...

Anyone have any slick techniques for gracefully and efficiently opening a jug of acid? Seems that whatever I do I end up having to rinse off my hands or some other implement and then the leftover film that once sealed the jug always seems to interfere with pouring it neatly. :brickwall: I...

Wondering if anyone here has any long-term experience with a travertine deck and using bleach to control green algae? It's common advice to avoid putting bleach on travertine but the same advice exists for saltwater pools. I have a few pavers that are more susceptible to turning green then the...

A question about the impact of the size of the eyeball. My pool builder put white fittings in my pool along with my blue surf Pebble Sheen and grey will look much better. I've already replaced the drains and just got my replacement eyeballs (CMP Aussie Insider, 1/5"). I have 3 of these in...

I'm looking for recommendations for a pool cleaner. As the title says I'm in S. Florida with a screen enclosure, Pebble Sheen surface. Most of the debris I get in the pool is sand and fine dirt/dust. A good bit of my pool surface area is either on the sunshelf, spa, or stairs, so the...

New pool here with a Jandy Aquapure 1400. As the title describes, my salinity was showing 3700 (3500 measured at the pool store) prior to adding the prescribed amount of boric acid yesterday. After adding the acid in the deep end and brushing, the salinity reading jumped to 4200ppm and stayed...

New RS Aqualink and I can't seem to find the remote function that does the same as the Spa Fill button on the power center. I have a wet edge spa that overflows evenly over two of the four sides and I'd like some times to be able to temporarily turn up the VSP and direct all of the return...

New Pebble Sheen pool here that was just turned over to me after a 30 day startup by my PB. I'm finding the recommended ranges for chemical levels are different from those found here. I'm thinking I should follow the ones from Pebble Tec but can anyone comment on the significance of the...

Brand new pool that's still curing and I've been experimenting with the water features. They consist of 2 sunshelf bubblers and a 4' sheer descent waterfall, plumbed to a Jandy 1.5HP FloPro pump (FHPM1.5). Each of the three features have their own dedicated valve and they're plumbed in a...

New pool in South Florida - almost done! We've had a pool for many years but this is the first time building for us. I became a bit frustrated with the design process so I subscribed to pool studio and did my own design. Posting it here looking for feedback on the design as well as the...
