    Jandy HP Plus pump - adapter for cyclone blower

    Back to an old topic… once you cut the whole what other parts are needed to finish it off so it can be connected to a cyclone. Making things like this is not my forte. Thanks

    Equation for pool temperature decrease?

    Thanks for the link. I have seen the post talking about drop in a pipe. Was more interested in the overall temperature drop of the pool itself. If my pool is 65 degrees and it is 20 degrees outside, how long will it take for my pool water to drop to 32 degres.

    Equation for pool temperature decrease?

    Am wondering how long it will take for the water temperature in a pool to drop from 65 degrees to 32 degrees if outside temperature is 20 degrees. Is there a math equation or table that would help with that?

    Jandy VSP noise on startup

    My Jandy VSP FloPro (2 years old) started making an odd noise on startup. Sounds like you can actually hear fan blades starting to turn and once up to full speed can’t hear them as much. Any thoughts?

    Jandy Freeze Protection

    I have Jandy Aqualink to run spa mode and pool mode in freeze protection. When it switches between the two the pump goes off as the actuators move but when the pump comes back on it doesn’t go into “priming mode”. I thought it it would always go into “priming” mode when switching between pool...

    Bucket test - pump on or off

    Just from an education standpoint why have pump on for checking plumbing. Wouldn’t that be helpful for a pressure side leak but on a suction side plumbing leak couldn’t having the pump on mask the issue? Just trying to understand

    Pump making high pitch sound

    A friend has a Jandy VSP and it makes a high pitched whining sound during freeze protection. Any reason it would sound differently during freeze protection. RPMs are the same.
