    Questions about replacing halogen lights to LED

    Hi, The halogen lights went out in my pool and spa (which are 10+ years old) so I am looking into replacing them with LED. I've done some googling but still cannot not decide if I should go ahead with LED. The safety, brightness, and long-term cost of replacing the lights are my priorities in...

    Jandy LXi NG heater "Fault Check Ign Control" urgent pls

    Thanks for replies, I shelled out and replaced it earlier this year with Rheem P-M406A-EN-C. Jandy was 11 years old and I bought a house with pool, judging by the condition of the house and all, the heater hadn't been maintained hence my decision.

    Comfirm my CH level reading is right

    Hi, Tested my CH level, which I haven't done this year, and it says it's 150 ppm. This looks very low to me, is it possible for it drop that much? I believe it was alright last year. According to Pool Calculator, I need to add 106 lb of Calcium Chloride to bring up CH to recommended 450 level...

    Jandy LXi NG heater "Fault Check Ign Control" urgent pls

    Technician came, opened the heater and started it, waited, pushed the on/off button few times, sniffed it, it did smell as something burning so he said "it's old and it's not supposed to do that" and he was not going to fix it but he can replace it. I'll take a look myself tonight.

    Jandy LXi NG heater "Fault Check Ign Control" urgent pls

    I am not the original owner, I bought it about a year ago and started using earlier this year. Judging by the house, the heater was not maintained. I'll take time from work tomorrow to watch the tech working.

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    CYA at about 40 now, it's a bit hard to tell with that dot test. pH is 7.3. FC dropped to 8.5 by the the end of the day yesterday. It's definitely drops much slower once I jacked up CYA. Are you saying I can go swimming at that high-ish level of FC?

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    I believe my SLAM is over: FC fell for 0.5 over night, CC is undetectable, water is clear. FC is 13.5. CYA is 30. pH is 7.4 (increased a bit from 7.2 that I had in the beginning of SLAM). TA is 50. TA looks a bit low, should I raise it? The PoolMath says to add 6.8 oz by volume of baking soda...

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    Here comes my CYA - I've poured 3 gallons of Instant Conditioner by Natural Chemistry and I can still see the dot at 30ppm but barely. I am going to add another half a gallon, maybe more, tomorrow as my ideal level is 40-50.

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    I see about FC and CYA. Thanks. I'll find liquid CYA this time, no more messing with sock method - it takes days to dissolve. Oh, I found a small amount of CYA in a sock, is there a way to test if it's CYA? You were asking before if I had any left.

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    I started SLAMing on previous Sat night (06/06) and I've been on it ever since. The water is very clear now, CC is 0.5, yesterday's overnight FC loss was 1.5 so I am getting very close. I've used an insane amount of liquid chlorine. CYA though is still my concern as it's nowhere to be found...

    Green pool questions about SLAM

    Nothing is left of CYA, only packaging. So borax might have been in the mix with CYA? The packing does not say there is any borax in it.
