The tech at the pool store I go to insists I don’t use lube on O rings - says debris attaches to it and not necessary. Thoughts?

Replaced my skimmer (2), main drain, and spa valves/pvc - now jandy vsp pump won’t turn on. Attached are pics of pump & panel wiring. Getting 251v @ panel & pump. Any ideas why it won’t turn on? Using outdated jandy panel with iqpump01. Jandy pda lets me switch from pool to spa mode, so I think...

I just opened my filter because water was leaking - probably have a dirty/bad o-ring. Decided to clean out the grids since I have it open. I had a lot of cellulose fiber sludge on the bottom and some stank and looked like algae/mold. Never seen this before. Anything special I need to do before I...

I replaced a Jandy actuator with a different model replacement part. I used the Jandy screws, which were too long, and cracked the 3 way diverter case under the actuator. Now the pump won't prime, I assume it's sucking in air. Can I seal the crack with jb weld or something, or do I have to...

Just replaced my old jandy stealth single speed pump with the jandy vsshp220dv2a. Did not buy the iq20 upgrade kit so my electronics are incompatible, but am trying to use the iqpump01 to run the pump. Can't get the iqpump01 or pump to turn on. All I did was connect the 3 electrical wires to the...

Pool did well last night - continually running. But, just noticed that both the filter and the pump valve are leaking, so now I need to add water to keep it running. Do I add water and leave it running, or do I backwash/drain the filter/pump/heater and shut it down? Thx!

While backwashing my filter, I opened the air release on the back of my pressure gauge to release air before adding ce fiber and the gauge broke off. It from a Jandy DE 48. Is this a simple fix?

I currently have a Jandy Stealth SHPMP2.0 pool pump. It is an extremely loud - I assume it has bad bearings - single speed pump that I'm looking to replace. The two options I have are the Jandy VSFHP165 which is a 1.65 HP variable speed pump and the Jandy VSPHP270 which is a 2.7 HP variable...

Received my Pentair Warrior SI today - it is a 2018. Ran it through two cycles, standard and quick, after a very windy week. Initial thoughts - it cleans much better than my old Polaris but not as much of the pool as the Polaris. Maybe it's the shape of the pool, but there are definitely areas...

In Texas dealing with the freeze. When my pool freeze settings turn on, my pool goes goes into pool mode and the jacuzzi blower turns on. The blower causes allot of water to go over the side and I have to add water several times a day. I've never adjusted the freeze settings since I bought the...

I know this is a problem but not sure how to proceed. You could see styrofoam under the caulk / coping. Do I need to fill then cover and if so, with what? Thx!

I do a pretty good job keeping my pool balanced, but two nights ago, I added 76 ounces of 6% bleach without testing and did not add any bleach last night. Tested FC this a.m. and it's 1. Added bleach. If FC is at good level, cc is at .5, and pool is otherwise balanced and clear, are we good to...

My pool looked fine yesterday but when I came outside this evening, I noticed an oily sheen on the pool surface. It covers about 1/3 of the pool surface, so it's significant. I mowed the lawn yesterday and didn't clear the clippings, but other than that, not sure what it could be. Pool is...

My friends have a small 4k gallon, above ground vinyl intex pool they use to cool off. They've gotten by using pucks and Leslie's recommendations. Tested their water yesterday: FC: 5.5 CC: .5 PH: 7.3 TA: 170 CH: 180 CYA: 30 Do we address the high TA or not worry about it since PH is a little...

Unfortunately, we found a dead baby rabbit in the pool this morning - they are all over the place in NTX. Chlorine levels are good. Is there anything special I have to do? Should I SLAM it to be safe or does a dead rabbit require different sanitization? Thx.

Pool water is a chilly 68 so decided to heat the jacuzzi. I'm receiving a blinking"pressure switch" light. Is this an easy fix or do I have to call in the pros?

Needed to slam my pool yesterday due to a suspected algae problem I've been dealing with. Backwashed and added cellulose fiber prior to beginning. Had a CYA of 70 so added 6 gallons of bleach to bring FC up to 28. Pool looks clearer this morning but filter guage shows filter is dirty already and...
