I’m handy. Not every house project is worth my time. I have I agree. I own a business and after working with people I learned how to read their BS between the lines. Just outreached to a company further out. Will see. I do have a quote for $5.5k plus whatever electrical line would cost...

Nothing unusual and everything wide open. The pool is 5 years old, so the plumbing and electrical is pretty straight forward.

I do have the breaker at the pool equipment. Cost of heat pump is about 5-6k. According to the estimate I got, he wants 8k for install.

I won’t do the plumbing. As I said, the only one I was able to find wants me to hire an electrician to run the electrical line and hookup. My hvac company doesn’t deal with anything pool related.

Good morning! I live in Charlotte and shockingly can’t find a contractor to install a water heater for my 18k pool. Found one but he wants me to hire an electrician. I preferred to have one company do it all to avoid finger pointing in case of a warranty issue or whatever. The second contractor...

Sounds like I need to hire an expert :)

Hi all, There is a hairline crack along the ball valve housing. I’m contemplating if I should replaced this valve myself or hire a pool company. There isn’t much pipe clearance and I’m afraid this might be a bigger project. Any suggestions? Should I replumb the whole assembly as the rest of...

Very informative, thank you. Nonetheless, should replace the system that’s already discontinued or continue buying the cells? If this system is know for having problems then I don’t mind changing it out altogether.

It is :) Used to work as a chemist for a chromium plating factory. hydrofluoric acid will literally eat through skin until it hits bone. Nasty stuff.

HCL acid. Typo

Good morning guys, I think I have a bad salt cell. My salt level is 4000 ppm and 68F temp. The cell is 3 years old. I cleaned it with HF acid and still getting the message. Just checked the price for new cell, $350?! Should I invest into a better salt generator or continue with this Jandy...

Thanks everyone. Very informative.

is this something mounted or needs to be rolled out for closure? Can it be somehow fastened to the pool for safety? I’m still confused about the setup and what exactly it is. Do you have a link to the product? Is it custom made or can be purchased online and installed by me?

Is it the norm to service heat pump pool heaters by an HVAC company? One of the installers told me they don’t service these and I would need to find an hvac company. But somehow he’s the service center for Jandy. Very confused by this response.

Hi. My house came with the pool. The pool came with a blue floating bubble wrap cover cut to the shape and a huge rectangular shaped black net. So for the past three years I have been covering the pool with the blue floating bubble wrap and the net on top to catch coat leafs. Such a pain in the...

Both installers have heat pumps installed in their pools, but the majority of their installs are gas heaters. One installer is wants me to hire an electrician. The second installer is all inclusive, which I prefer to avoid finger pointing in case something happens.

Wait… no extended season?! I want a heater to extend the season and ok waiting a day or so.

What is the heater bypass and why do I need it? Jandy pump seems to have a bypass. Electric line installation is included. I don’t know about the gas line. The second installer assures Raypak is a better heat pump.

no, sorry for the confusion, $7k for the heat pump. The gas heater was in the $4500 bulk part.

Je3000T heat pump and JXI400N heater

I have two quotes. One for Jandy gas heater and a heat pump. The second one is for Raypak ream from another installer. The raypak comes with one year warranty as opposed to 3 years for Jandy. The installer says Raypak heat pump is more reliable. Around $7000 for both with installation.

I got a quote from my local pool installer for Jandy gas heater and a heat pump. Do you guys know if Jandy heaters are know to be reliable or not?

Are the Polaris robots reliable and good? I see dolphins recommended a lot on this forum and not much information on Polaris. Any robots using brushless motors?

my zodiac cleaner sucks, literally. It’s time to replace it with a robotic cleaner. There are so many options. Can you guys help me find a robot? Something smart enough that maps the pool as it goes, if there is such a thing. Money isn’t a problem.

Good morning guys. I need advice with a pool heater for the inground pool. The pool is about 17,000 gal, salt chlorine generator. We live in Charlotte, NC. A heat pump might be the best option for my location but I don’t really know anything about this to have any sort of educated opinion. Also...
