    I was sent Jandy 460 cartridge filters instead of 340 - can I use the 460 without causing harm?

    thanks, the PSI is fine so there’s no issue there. I appreciate the feedback.

    I was sent Jandy 460 cartridge filters instead of 340 - can I use the 460 without causing harm?

    A while back I ordered a set of Jandy 340 cartridge filters, so I thought anyway. I didn't think to open the boxes when they arrived (my mistake) to check. Today I decide to swap out the filters and discover I was sent the 460 size filters instead. The 460 are the same dimensions as the 340...

    Paramount Clear O3 Ozone Generator - is it worth replacing the lamp?

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ve never had issues with maintaining a clear, algae free pool so I was skeptical that this ozone generator had much, if any, impact.

    Paramount Clear O3 Ozone Generator - is it worth replacing the lamp?

    I have a Paramount Clear O3 Ozone Generator as part of my standard chlorinated pool system. This ozone generator was included in the pool build. What are your thoughts on replacing the burned out lamp? I am unsure what kind of impact I am getting from this thing and whether it's worth...

    Ideas for retractable (or removable) shade coverings for large area

    Our pool gets full sun from ~11 am CST to ~5 pm CST during the swimming season and I wanted to ask what others have used for shade options. We have done the larger pool-side umbrella but would rather try something like a retractable awning or even a cover that we can remove manually as needed...

    Parting out my Polaris 9350 Sport robotic cleaner

    Mods, please remove or relocate if this is inappropriate. I have a 2.5 year old Polaris 9350 Sport that has a bad motor block. The cord is supposedly bad too (I don’t buy it) but I know the motor block is bad. I am going a different direction so I am parting out my 9350 Sport if anyone needs...

    How can I tell if I have a leak in my pool? Water usage seems high.

    So I think I figured out the cause of my issue. I think the auto-fill mechanism is randomly malfunctioning and adding water to the pool when it should not be. My neighbor's and my drains terminate right next to one another at the curb and I was mistaking my drain overflow as his. What threw...

    How can I tell if I have a leak in my pool? Water usage seems high.

    thanks, I will check out the Pool School reference. The first time I shut off the auto-fill valve the pool went a good 7-10 days before I needed to turn it back on, so my gut feeling is that I DON'T have a leak, but I will do more investigating. And that was when the temps were higher so evap...

    How can I tell if I have a leak in my pool? Water usage seems high.

    I will try to make this long story short. I record our water meter the same day the local MUD reads it and it seems like I am using more water than I should be for this time of year in the Houston area. I don't think I have a pool leak but what would be the best way to tell if I do? I turned...

    Jandy LXi 400 heater displaying "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message

    Re: Jandy LXi 400 heater displaying "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message BTW, I think I was testing the wrong water temp sensor at first. I thought the water temp sensor going to the Aqualink box then sent info to the heater. But the heater has its own water temp sensor. The resistance...

    Jandy LXi 400 heater displaying "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message

    Re: Jandy LXi 400 heater displaying "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message I finally tested the water temp sensor and it appears to be fine. Below is the pic of the multimeter results @ ~80* F So I need to see if the wire going to the heater has some short in it. Otherwise its something...

    Jandy LXi 400 heater displaying "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message

    I have a Jandy LXi 400 heater (along with the Aqualink PDA-PS4 system) and the LCD screen on the heater is displaying a "Fault - Shorted H2O Sensor" error message. The entire system is a little over 4 years old. I called Jandy and they said it's likely one of two things: 1. The temp sensor...

    Jandy Aqualink RS remote system no longer turns on heater or pool/spa lights

    One more update. The heater issue was due to user error. I had to have the "Pool" button turned on ALL the time on the heater control panel for the remote to properly control the heater. I must have turned turned that button off at some point thinking it did not need to remain on all the...

    Jandy Aqualink RS remote system no longer turns on heater or pool/spa lights

    So a quick update. The pool/spa lights were not turning on due to a bad GFCI outlet, which has been resolved. As for the heater, I still cannot turn the heater on via the Jandy remote unless I go to the heater and turn it on so that the remote is enabled. I never had to do that in the past...

    Jandy Aqualink RS remote system no longer turns on heater or pool/spa lights

    When I turn on the heater at the heater panel, it is NOT turned on at the Jandy remote. To be clear, if I turn the heater on at the heater control panel, nothing changes on the remote screen to indicate it's turned on (even though it is). If I turn the heater on via the remote, nothing happens...

    Jandy Aqualink RS remote system no longer turns on heater or pool/spa lights

    I have a Jandy Aqualink RS system with the Jandy PDA remote. I have two LED lights in the pool and one LED light in the spa. I also have a Jandy heater. Last season the remote would properly turn on and control the heater and the LED lights. Fast forward to now and the remote does not...

    My Polaris 9300 Sport bit the dust - need advice on choosing a new robotic cleaner

    Agreed, it was refreshing to say the least. I am happy to report some positive news for a change. I received the new 9350 Sport within just 3 days of speaking to the customer rep, so that was another pleasant surprise. At first glance everything about the 9350 is better than the 9300. It...

    My Polaris 9300 Sport bit the dust - need advice on choosing a new robotic cleaner

    thanks, it's nice to get a win every so often. And BTW, the builder we used included the 9300 Sport so that's how we ended up with it. Otherwise I would have likely gotten something else after researching it. But now I know to look at the Maytronics brand of cleaners when I am in the market.

    My Polaris 9300 Sport bit the dust - need advice on choosing a new robotic cleaner

    Excellent info, thank you very much! So the pool cleaner gods were on my side today. Last week when I called Polaris to first complain about my cleaner crapping out the rep said to call back when I knew what the issue was and he'd try and help me. I didn't hold out much hope since it's out...

    My Polaris 9300 Sport bit the dust - need advice on choosing a new robotic cleaner

    My Polaris 9300 Sport needs a new motor block = big $$$ repair, as in near $600 :mad: So I need to research robotic pool cleaners (I want to stick with robotic). The 9300 Sport worked fairly well, so something along the same line in terms of features and performance would be good. Any ideas...

    Polaris 9300 Sport flashing alternating lights on power supply

    so I took the cleaner in and the motor block on the actual cleaner is bad.....AGAIN!! I got the motor block + control unit replaced last September under warranty, but this repair would be out of pocket. They want $585 to replace. I am NOT paying that for a unit I can buy new today for $850...

    Polaris 9300 Sport flashing alternating lights on power supply

    So I am seeing the dreaded alternating flashing lights on the power supply for my Polaris 9300 Sport pool cleaner (it's about 3.5 years old). It worked great the last time I used it and now fails to stay on. When I select either of the two cycles, the pool cleaner comes on for 3-5 seconds as...

    No pressure when in pool mode, but good pressure when in spa mode

    What are DWV fittings? I did not install the system, so how can I address this? - - - Updated - - - How would I go about doing that? Do I tie a rag to the end of the hose and snake the hose backward from the pump basket as far as I can go? I have never done that before so curious what the...

    No pressure when in pool mode, but good pressure when in spa mode

    So this is the craziest thing. I switched between spa mode and pool mode a few times to take pics of the valve positions and then it started working in pool mode. So perhaps the priming undid whatever blockage was present. I should probably still get someone to investigate the line and see if...

    No pressure when in pool mode, but good pressure when in spa mode

    But why would the pump be moving water in spa mode but not pool mode? It's as if in pool mode it cannot get a sufficient amount of water INTO the pump, so it's a "supply side" issue I would think.

    No pressure when in pool mode, but good pressure when in spa mode

    I checked the basket before the pump and in spa mode it fills up completely with water, but in pool mode there is very little water in the basket. So that indicates to me there is an obstruction somewhere before the basket. I doubt it's a leak as we have no trees to cause issues and I have not...

    No pressure when in pool mode, but good pressure when in spa mode

    Today I saw that there was no water coming over the spillover from the spa into the pool, so I went ahead and cleaned the Jandy 340 cartridge filters for good measure. That did not help any. So I switched over to spa mode and that works just fine. There is plenty of PSI when in spa mode. When...
