It seems that after any heavy rain the Master Temp 400 tries to fire up and then quickly shuts gas off to burner. The pattern seems to be that after 3 attempts it quits trying and says service necessary. After I manually turn the unit off and then on again it will again try to start 3 times...

I initially selected the non-SWG method because of the damages to furniture and some types of pool coping that salt was know to cause. After one year of trichlor tablets I ran into all of the problems associated with that method. I then drained most of the water and switched to the BBB (now...

Have been on TFP & BBB method for over a year now and it has gone as advertised: Trouble Free. My question has to do with the increase of salt using bleach. The pool calculator says each gallon of 10% bleach in my 29K gallon pool increases salt by 5.7 (ppm?). I am guessing salt doesn't...

I am not sure where this post best fits, so please move it to where it best fits. Over the summer I automated my bleach addition with the use of a Stenner pump. It was a great success. I thought it would be nice to have level indicator on the outside of my 15 gal carboy, so I got a piece of...

In my ongoing quest to locate new sources and pricing of liquid chlorine, I stopped by a local Leslie’s Pool Supply. A friend that owns a pool (not a BBB’r ) said that the woman that runs this store is very reliable. When I arrived she was beginning to help another customer, but asked me what...

First, everything we do is based on foundations built by others. So thanks to Bama Rambler, ChiknNutz, roadking00, gujjuman & others from previous posts who blazed trails and made my decisions easier. Based on the above input I decided I would get a fixed speed Stenner 10 gpd pump because...

I have a Jandy Aqualink RS4 (I think) power center. It has for relays and they are all occupied. It appears as if the cabinet has places for 4 more relays, and 4 unused Aux connection plugs labeled 5-8. Does anyone know if I can just buy an additional relay and control one more output device...

On another thread I mentioned that I had out of curiosity compared my results using the TF-100 kit and those of a local pool store (Leslies). We pretty much agreed on all but the CYA test. Immediately after draining and refilling: Pool store: 30 ppm TF-100: <20 ppm After using...

I generally learn more by reading forums than by posting, but thought it was time to report in. As previously mentioned on this forum, I had drained 2/3 or more water to reduce CYA from 130 to acceptable. My after drain CYA level was 20 or less according to my TF-100 kit. Just for comparison...

Howdy folks! Our pool was installed last summer and I thought it was fine per the pool store. We got all of the numbers where they were supposed to be. Water is crystal clear with an occasional tinge of green here and there but not out of hand. Then I found this site! I started paying more...
