Hi all, I have a Jandy filter tank that contains 4 large cartridges used for water filtering. I removed them to clean and my inspection shows that the appear to be in OK condition and I was able to clean the pleats good. They are 3 years old.

Question: When my pool pump is running at 1600 RPM and I switch the water return valve from normal pool return outlets (there are 5) to the pressure side pool sweep outlet I see about a 5 PSI increase in the reading on the filter gage . The filter cartridges are cleaned as well as the return...

Just replaced my filter and attached plumbing which fixed a leak on the suction side. Now I am noticed that when I turn on my pump after being off for awhile I get a large amount of air coming out of my returns. I also notice that my SWG cell is drained of water and it takes a couple of minutes...

My pool readings are all in range per TFP with my CYA at 70 and I have a SWG. The Chlorine/CYA chart says I need a minimum FC of 3 and a Target of 5. I usually run my SWG 8 hours at 80% which yields a delay Chlorine output of 2.5. To 3.0. My daily pool chlorine loss is about 2.5 with normal...

Current readings are: FC 6 CC 0 PH 7.6 CYA 70 CH 300 TA around 100 I am having to use 1.5 to 2.0 gallons of MA a week to keep my PH at 7.4 to 7.6. I wait unti it get to 8.0 before added the acid to lower the PH. I usually check the PH every 3 days. The acid I am using is from Home Depot and is...

I need to add Cyanuric acid to my pool to bring up the CYA level (level is currently at 55 but want to raise to 70 to minimize settings on SWG). I read various recommendation for adding it to pool including hanging in a sock in front of return. I am thinking of just adding it to my skimmer...

My pool measurements today were as follows: FC 6 CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 90 CH 100 CYA 60 After testing I read for the first time a card in my Taylor test kit. I used the card to calculate a Saturation Index 0.5.which the card says will cause cloudy water or deposit scale. My pool looks clear. What is...

I have a Jandy muti colored pool light. The light has stopped working and i pulled it out of pool and measured the voltage to it which was OK. The light is 12 years old so I am sure the bulbs have burned out. So looking for replacements on line it says I need to replace all 8 bulbs ( Jandy P/N...

Hi, My summer pool season has gone well. The pool looks good and is balanced weekly using measurements from my Taylor test kit. My kit does not test for phosphates or salt level so I took it to the local pool store (Leslie's) to get these measurements done. The salt was reading was good but...

I have a Jazcuzi SWG. It has five output positions on it that are indicated by the number of lit lights light on the display. My CYA in 80. I bumped up my SWG output to maximum (5) about 2 weeks ago prior to a large planned pool party. By the time I remembered to turn it down my CL was 11. I...

My pool light stop working and the voltages to it are goid. It is an older Jandy Colors large pool halogen colored pool light with 8 bulbs in it. I think the P/N or model no is CPHV. It is recommended that you replace all eight bulbs and the gasket when opening it for repair. The bulbs run...

My pool is balanced and pretty clean as I can see the drains in the bottom of deep clearly however there is a very light layer of a gold color contaminate on the bottom of the pool. I belive it to be pollen from a Large tree near the pool. I tried everything I could think of to remove such as...

I got a pretty good handle on how my pool equipment operates and the maintenance required to keep it running but now am stumped on how to fix a multi-colored pool light that will not turn on. I did measure electrical power going thru switch. The light is the original one installed by Swan pools...

What is the best way to add crystal CYA to a pool.

I am deligent about keeping my pool balanced. I have been performing daily tests and adding chemicals as necessary. I keep my PH in the range of 7.4 to 7.8 but must add a pint of muratic acid 2-3 times a week. I think this might be due to the fact that i must add tap water about 3 times a week...

I have a VS pump and have programmed it as follows: 2 hours at 2800 (to drive the pool sweep) 8 hours at 1450 to filter and run the SWG. When my timer came on yesterday to start the first 2 hour run the pump would not prime. It timed out after 10 minutes. It tried several more times but it...

I have a SWG which is programmed to run all night (at 80% for 9 hours) and it produces chlorine that raises the FC by 3 overnight. On most normal days my FC loss is 2 but on real sunny and hot days FC loss is closer to 3. I been measuring my FC daily and in the morning it reads 9 to 10 and in...

I have discovered thru water testing that my average daily FC is 1 to 2 FC (this is in the daytime with the hot sun beatng down). Using the SWG run calculator I have determined that my SWG needs to be run 8.6 hours at 60% to produce a 2 FC increase. I plan on running my pump and SWG from 11:30...

I had a new SWG and VS pump installed last month. The installer hooked it up so that when I throw the circuit breaker the SWG controller and pump are powered on. The pump has its own timer so I can program it to run whenever but the controller remains on al the time. I need to push a button on...
