    Aquapure 1400 Not Producing Chlorine

    Aquapure was working fine until a day or two ago (after a party). Filter pressure seems fine and salt levels are at about 3000. The pool and salt cell are about 2 years old. Could it be scaling on the salt cell? It doesn’t appear to be a flow issue. I believe all the indicators mean that it is...

    Is this mustard algae?

    This was the inside of the pool filter in the middle where the filter screws on.

    High pressure, pump won’t hold prime

    I have been having issues with my pump not holding a prime and high filter pressure. I will clean the filter and it holds prime for about 30 minutes. I have been dealing with high PH so I decided to soak the filter in dawn soap water for about 6 hours. The pump held its prime for a couple days...

    Brown Spots on Plaster - 1 Year Old Pool

    I just got back from a 10 day vacation and came back to these brown spots all over the pool, but mainly on the sun shelf. A pool brush didn’t seem to do anything, but when rubbing with my nail it removed some of the brown spreading part but not completely. Is this due a chemistry issue? I have...

    Jandy JXI not heating

    My JXI is 6 months old and just this weekend it won't heat the pool. I get a check flow error message even when on 3,000 rpm. What is odd is that the spa still heats and works just fine. Any idea what could be going on? Moved from here.

    Jandy Heater Max Temp 102 in iAquaLink?

    Based on my research, I should be able to set the spa temp to 104. The app won’t allow me to go past 102. Any idea?

    Rising pH

    I was wondering why my pH was still rising so quickly even after the first month after the new plaster. The pool company has it setup to pull from pool drain/skimmer and 50/50 return to spa return and pool return. How would I need to setup my Aqualink to do a 15 minute spillover routine like you...

    Dedicated Spa Pump - Pump Never Fully Primes

    I have a dedicated pump for the spa jet and the builder cannot get it to fully prime. Is this an issue? The pump basket has water a little past the basket, but I cannot see anymore because there are water droplets on the top so it blocks my view. The main pool pump is primed perfectly. The...

    What Valves Should Get Actuators? AquaLink RS8

    The pool company is finishing up my equipment installation and I want to be sure they install actuators on all of the valves that they should. I went with the RS8 so I can manually go to the pool equipment as little as possible. Can you please help me understand what valves should get actuators...

    2 Pumps? Please Help Me Understand My Equipment

    Our pool builder is finishing our pool equipment and today they added a second pump. Our pump on the left has been running during the entire plaster startup phase. The pump that was added today is only hooked up to an intake and then an outflow. It is not connected to the filter, heater, or SWG...

    New Pool Start-up Chemistry Question. Partial Acid Start-up

    First ever pool....New ~ 9,500 gallon Hydrazzo plaster pool finished filling on Saturday night. The pool company didn't come until Monday morning.

    Should the Builder Plaster and Fill the Pool Without All of the Equipment Installed?

    I am losing all trust with our pool builder and I wanted to hear your opinion on two things that don't see right to me (but I don't build pools). The builder wants to plaster and fill the pool on Monday. No equipment is installed yet, I mentioned this and they said they could do a temporary...

    First Fill - Fill Pool & Hot tub at the same time?

    We are scheduled for our pool to be finished in two weeks and I was curious about the initial fill. I have read on here that you should not fill the hot tub past the spill over and should fill to the middle of the tile line. The pool should be filled to the middle of the skimmer. I was wondering...

    First Pool Step Too Deep, Need Ideas!

    Our pool is a 4' - 4.5' - 4' sport pool. We have 3 steps that have a 12" rise and 12" width. One thing we didn't take into account was the additional height the coping and leveling mortar added. The first step is now 16" down which does not seem safe. I am trying to figure out the best solution...

    Which plumbing setup is better?

    Here is a picture of my two neighbors plumbing. Both of them used the same builder that I am using. I was told one of the plumbing setups is better, but I’m curious what you guys think.

    Pool Builder Listed Jandy JXI 400N on Contract, but Permit Shows Aquacal T-135.

    At first glance it looks like there is a huge difference with the Jandy being 400,000k BTU vs the Aquacal 135,000k BTU. I don't mind a brand change as long as performance isn't a downgrade. We have a relatively small pool so they may be trying to pull a fast one a use a smaller heater. I don't...

    Does anyone have Hydrazzo Pacifico Line?

    This is a newer line of Hydrazzo. The company said it's about 5 years old and I cannot find many pictures at all (yes I searched the thread on here with pool colors). Does anyone have this line of Hydrazzo?

    Glacier Pool Chiller in FL?

    I am highly considering a Glacier chiller because we live in Tampa and will not have a screen and our max pool depth is going to be 4'6". Has anyone on here had a Glacier in FL? I appreciate the help!

    What are some things you didn't do, that you wish you would have when building?

    We are going to our final design appointment tonight (we can change things after this appointment as well) and I just want to be sure I am not missing some features or equipment that I am going to regret not getting. What are some things you wish you would added or done differently? I appreciate...

    Will a Jandy RS4 be able to control all of my equipment?

    I am about to sign a pool contract and I am going back and forth between the RS4 and RS8. I just want to be able to control all of the features I have now. I have the pump, salt chlorinator, spa, lights, and heater. Can I control all of these with the RS4 and is there any standard pool equipment...
