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?

Is it ok to use a Jandy heater in below 32 degrees if the water temp is 50-60 degrees? Same question if outside temperature is 20 degrees

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?

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...

Our Gunite pool was finished in November 2020. It’s 26,000 gallons. Salt water system. Since it was finished my pH always tends to rise. About every two or three days the pH will get up to around 8.0 that’s as high of reading as I can get with my test kit. And I put in about half a gallon of...

A few weeks ago my chlorine level got down to zero or one and I had some algae start to grow in the corners. I brushed it off and got the chlorine level back to normal. Since then I i’ve kept the chlorine level between 2 to 4. I noticed this morning that there’s still some new algae in the...

Am going to do a bucket test and am trying to figure out if it is best to do it with the pump on or off. Thoughts?

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.

If you have a suction side leak does more air get in the pump if it is running at low or high RPMs? Thanks

We are getting several inches of snow and ice this evening. I have a cover for the motor but wasn’t sure if I should cover the basket area of the pump? Thoughts? I can put an k dilated small pillow over it and tape it down.

I have the Jandy aqualink system. Once Freeze protection turns on since the temp gets below a certain temperature can u add a device (spa) to the freeze protection list or does FP lock you out once it is activated.

I have a dolphin M 400 I can’t figure out how to change the time mode within the app on an iPhone. Don’t want it to come in the walls I can’t figure out how to change the cleaning mode from regular to the one that doesn’t clean the walls in the app. Help…

All of our equipment is Jandy and am curious about spillover mode. In the freeze protection part of the app I can select filter, spa, slide. I also have a spillway mode and am wondering if I can have the system in spillway mode during freeze protection. Thanks

What do people think is best for a spa/pool combo with one set of equipment during freeze protection: 1 - cycle between spa mode and pool mode every thirty minutes - con is wear and tear on actuators 2- run continually in spillway mode - con is spa stone wall will potentially go through freeze...

We have a JXi Jandy natural gas heater connected to an Aqualink system. Am trying to figure out what the lights above “pool” on the control panel mean. Here is a picture. Can’t find anything in the manual. thanks

The front of our spa stays wet and I am thinking the they spa water is somehow getting under the spillway travertine and is going down the side of the spa. The picture shows the wet spot and the second shows the inside of the spa. I have lowered the spa water level for a good picture. The...

Trying to get an understanding on what is generally covered in the following scenario: - pool equipment is next to house but outside. PVC pipe connected to equipment bursts due to freezing and then the water from the pool comes into the finished basement from the burst pipe. Is the damage to...

We have a pool / spa combo with a raised spa and spillover. The spa surrounded with natural stone. Am trying to figure out whether I should seal the stone around the spa. Also, the stone has not been impacted by rain or any water for three days and some stones are still wet. Does stone absorb...

My pool has a heater bypass. Should I always keep the bypass partially open so the bypass pipe doesn’t get stagnant water in it - and in the winter doesn’t freeze due to no water flow. If I do a harsh treatment to the water I would temporarily bypas the heater all together but am curious about...

What is the best way to implement freeze protection for a pool spa combo. 1 - is it best to put the pool and spa on freeze protection so that the system cycles between pool mode and spa mode. Benefit is that all pipes (spa main drain and returns, pool main drain and returns) get water flow...

Has anybody used Piranha Scale remover gel to get calcium buildup off pool tile? After it sits and u wash it off it will end up in the pool water. Any concerns with it getting in the main pool water?

We have a 8 month old gunite pool and the pH keeps rising as expected. My quetion is how quickly would the pool/equipment get damaged if the pH were above 8.0 for a couple of days. I am not going to be able to add Acid for a 3-4 days and currently I am adding about 2/3 gallons of acid every...

Have a very small suction side leak between PVC and Jandy valve. No air bubbles on pump when it is on but a very small leak when the pump is off. Am thinking about putting some Oatey rain or shine PVC glue around the junction of the PVC and Jandy valve with the pump on high speed with the...
