    Thoughts on chlorine pucks in skimmer or a floater?

    Used to put in skimmer. Over time, the left over deposits wound up clogging the holes in the skimmer basket. Now only in a floater

    Final update. Pool set to 90. Heater on this morning and it has hit that temp. Problem either bad sensor or Jandy memory needed reset. I changed the sensor and did a memory reset and all seems well. Thanks for the comments

    On demand heat issues

    Replaced the temp sensors. Had to clear memory on Jandy. Water sensor was showing 28 instead of 82 degrees. At least now the Jandy and heater agree on temperature. Will kick on heater in AM to see if it does what it should
