    Manual bypass with Jandy Jxi Versaflow heater

    I realize this may be a stupid question but is there any value to having a manual bypass on a heater like the Jandy Jxi Versaflow that has an internal bypass? It makes sense to me but I know nothing. Trying to add one and am being told it will "create a maze of plumbing which decreases...

    Heater questions

    Hello everyone! We need some advice. We want to add a heater to our 2-year old pool. We are still trying to decide between a gas heater and a heat pump (subject for another post), but are surprised by the pricing we’ve received.

    So frustrated with SLAM

    Need advice about steps

    Both my pool builder and I made a mistake and we need to figure out how to fix it, and I could really use some advice. We are mid-build, awaiting plaster, and noticed after the gunite was done that the pool steps aren't as we expected. We wanted low-rise steps because of our elderly parents who...

    Size of SWG

    Hello. We are finalizing our pool specs before hopefully signing a contract in the next week or so. I've read here that the SWG should be 2X the pool volume but need some additional guidance. Our pool will be 39K gallons (20 x 40, 4'-9' deep) and our PB is recommending Jandy Aquapure 1400 which...

    Help a newbie with proposal comparison?

    Hello. We have never had a pool before and are unfamiliar with the equipment. We are trying to compare quotes from two pool builders and are not sure of exactly what these things are or if something is missing or even if one builder is proposing a better product than the other. Can anyone...
