I’ve had several rust like stains pop up on the floor of my pool in the shallow end and I’m not sure what’s causing it or how to remove it. Last month I had a project done to pool up all the tile/decking around the pool to put a concrete foundation around it which resulted in a lot of...

I put in a Jandy Versatemp heat pump combo chiller/heater last summer and it’s been great. My pool temp in Houston was hitting 90+ by June. Ran it a couple days and got back down to comfortable temps. We used the heater to get it a little warmer and usable at spring break. I don’t think the...

i called the number ealier before i logged onto TFP and got a message it is outside their business hours and please call back during business hours :rolleyes:

Thanks. That worked for me. I can't log into the app or the main website: OwnerPortalAngular but that link worked for me

Thanks for the feedback. The higher HP pump is a VS pump and controls the water features (sconces, bubblers). The lower HP pump (non-vs) circulates through the IFCS. My skimmer collects plenty as-is but I could change the valve to have some flow from skimmer. I didn’t realize the picks in...

See my drawing of my Venturi skimmer in my post above. I had my terminology backwards but returns from my pump to the pool come through both the skimmer and the in floor jets. This photo is not my pool but it’s an identical concept. The return running below the basket creates a suction that...

I think this is the setup how my skimmer works I have a valve at my equipment that can take returns from the main drain in my pool, the skimmer, or partial flow from both. I normally keep it set to take 100% of returns through main drain and nothing back from the skimmer. When my pump is...

My skimmer doesn’t send any water back to my filter and pumps. It only recirculates back into the pool. All the returns to the filter and pumps go through the main drain so not sure if that makes a difference.

I recently had a project on our pool deck done that resulted in a ton dirt and sand getting in my pool. It’s been vacuumed/cleaned out but the guy that did the project (he does pool maintenance too) told me I should add phosphate remover because all the dirt in the pool would increase the...

Why shouldn’t you put pucks in a skimmer? I primarily use LC and have a stenner pump that pumps it into my system downstream of the filter and in the summer I’ll sometimes supplement with some stabilized pucks in the skimmer basket. I put them in the skimmer basket so the LC and pucks don’t...

I’ve never had issues with their bleach. Before he changed to an automated system with the lockbox to start pump I had some issues with nobody being there when there were supposed to be open but now it’s great because I can go anytime. It’s about a 20 mile drive from where I live but I get 20...

In Katy TX (west Houston suburb) Patriot Cleaning Supply sells bulk bleach for $3.25/gallon + tax. You have to bring your own containers and it’s self service but much cheaper than any store I’ve found.

Update: Problem solved- i discovered the removable lid on the pump inlet filter basket was letting air in. It seemed like there was debris on the rubber seal and it wasn't sealing. Once i cleaned the filter basket, lid and seal and put the lid back on everything is running fine now.

Here's the setup. The VS pump that has issues is the one in the back further away from the filter.

I have a 2.7HP Jandy Pro VS pump that runs the water features on my pool (i have another pump that is pool circulation pump) that isn't working properly and I'm not sure where to start with troubleshooting it and if it's something i can do or if i need to get someone to do it for me. My VS pump...

I got the Jandy Versatemp 130k btu heater/chiller and it’s been great so far. It had better seamless integration with my iAquaLink system. We used the chiller last summer to keep temp reasonable in pool and not feel like a hot tub by end of summer. I just used the heater this week for first...

I bought a large funnel at auto zone that fits in the opening of my stenner 15 gallon tank pretty well. I buy LC from a pressure washing place in 5 gallon containers and it works out fine for me.

I had an issue with my power supply where it seemed to stop working. I disconnected the cable with the plug from the unit for about 30 minutes and plugged it in and it worked again. Now I unplug it after I run the unit and it powers up fine every time i plug it in.

I'm going to add a heater/chiller to our Houston pool since it is July 1st and already getting uncomfortably warm. I'm looking at either an AquaCal HeatWave Superquiet Icebreaker SQ166R or a Jandy VersaTemp JRT3000R. I'm leaning towards the AquaCal heater/chiller but wanted to know if there...

@ThreeDogKnight Did you end up changing out to a different light? I'm in the same boat. We built our pool with our house in 2020. Four of my 5 lights have had a failure with the blue color failing. The first was under warranty but the next 3 failed within a few months of the warranty ending...
