When I run the heater small black particles end up in the bottom of the spa. Could this be something from the inside of the heat exchanger? It runs fine and there's no leaks. The heater is about 10 years old.

When my natural gas pool heater fires up it starts whistling. The whistle appears to start as soon as the gas valve opens, before the burners light and doesn't stop until the gas valve shuts off. The unit has been installed for over ten years without the whistle and all the burners have nice...

I have a 1.5 HP Hayward SuperPump with a two-speed motor. For the heater to fire on low-speed the pressure switch needs to be almost completely turned counter clockwise. There is about 1/2 turn left on the the adjustment screw. With this setting the heater shuts off everytime the pump is...

My Aqualink had a bad front board for the Chlorine generator. Jandy no longer makes the board and they wanted me to replace the whole system for over $600 ! I looked on Ebay for my specific board and only a few were available. They few I did find, people were wanting close to $500. I ended...

I installed a new cell and sensor in my PureLink System last night and ran into some issues: 1. After installation, everything appeared to be working except the salinity was reading 4100 when multiple water tests indicated it was 3000. With the Salinity so high the cell would not go on. 2...

I have a PureLink system that currently has the Aquapure installed with the Tri-sensor adapter board. My Aquapure version is 11230A05 and I have an AKC13 front board. I just purchased a new cell and sensor (new version with the external Program A and B box) and have a few questions. 1. The...

My cell is due to be replaced and I am debating on buying the cell or the kit with the sensor. One issue I have had off and on has been the no flow error when running the pump on low speed sometimes. My current set-up has the Tri-sensor adapter (Small Board) with clear cover but not the...

Over the last couple years, my heater won't fire using the Aqualink all the time. My thermocouple is generating millivolts within specification. When I try jumping all the safety devices it still won't fire. When I use a jumper on the gas valve it fires up every time and then stays on like it...

My thermocouple is putting out 480 mvs yet the heater won't fire unless I jump the terminals sometimes. Once jumped it stays running until the temp is reached so I know all the safety switches are ok. I have about 5 feet of wire running to the Jandy Aqualink. Is there special wire I should be...

Ever since I installed a two speed motor last year my Aquapure hasn't run consistently since. If I set the PDA to start low speed in the morning the motor starts on high for a while then switches to low as it should and the Aquapure service light comes on. If I set the high speed to run for...

I installed a new Aquapure cell about three years ago (New Style). A few weeks ago it stopped generating and the display had 172 and 186 error codes. I ordered a new sensor that came with the Tri-Sensor adapter board and then found out my set-up required a special cable due to a lack of...

I have had my pool for almost 10 years and to date don't know how to point the outlets so dirt does not settle in large quantities on my steps and in a corner on the deep end. I have tried pointing the outlets in every direction possible and the dirt ends up in the same two spots. I also tried...

I have a two speed pump connected to my 10 year old Aqualink system. If the system is running in low speed and heat is called for the heater wont fire up. Is there a way to program the pump to ramp up to high speed when heat is called for ? My heater is a Hayward 250,000 milivolt with a...

Opened the pool, adjusted the PH, and CYA was at 65. Pool was a bit cloudy but not much and there were areas of a light green brown on the bottom. Slammed the pool to 40 PPM by accident and kept it there for two full days while constantly brushing and using chlorine generator to keep it there...

Opened my pool the other day and used robotic cleaner to get the little amount of debris that was in to. The bottom was spotless after the cleaner was done. The water wasn't crystal clear just cloudy. FC 4.5 CC 0 PH 7.2 CYA 70 I got deal on some HTC 10% chlorine last year so I added 3...

I have a 20X40 pool with a spill over SPA. Currently I have a Hayward Super pump II model SP2510 X15 (1.5HP Single Speed). The motor is bad and needs to be replaced so I am not sure what to get. 1. I had considered switching to a two speed motor to save energy. With my Jandy system I was...

My pool was originally filled over 10 years ago with city water and I have been topping it of with well water ever since. Over the last couple of years the metal content appears to have gotten high enough to show very slight staining on my white plastic steps so I started adding Magic Jacks...

Right now my pool is clear and per the simplepool android I need to reduce my TA and increase CYA. The simple pool application recommendation mirrors what pool school recommends. I never have had good luck reducing my TA but the pool school says this is a critical spec to maintain. Can anyone...

I have gone through all the posts for setting the direction of the eyeballs and the more i read the more confused I get. Can someone help me with how to adjust the inlet eyeballs in my specific set-up ? 20x40 rectangle hopper pool Goes from 2.5 to 8.5 feet On the long sides of the pool near...

When opening my pool today I put two gallons of 10% chlorine in the spillover spa to help clean it up before firing up the pump. Before running the pump I tested the water in the pool and was very surprised how high the chlorine level was. Could my DPD powder from last year give a false reading...

I put in my 20x40 hopper (8.5 Deep) pool about 10 years ago. At that time it was filled with trucks using city water. Since then I have filled the pool using our "Community" well and by-passing the softener in my house. I converted it to a saltwater chlorinating system about 5 years ago. My...

Purchased and installed the following 4/2007. 6614AP1400 PureLink Power Center PLC 1400 Cell kit PDA-PS4 AquaLink PDA I am considering a upgrade to iAqualink but depending on my systems rev level the cost varies dramatically. I am in Michigan and can't boot up the system for at least a month...

For the last two years my Hayward H300 starts up intermittently when the temp of the water is lower than the setting. Last year I found that taking a wire off one of any of the safety temp sensors and putting it back on made it work for a while and then it would stop again. I have a Hayward...

I think my pool may have some algae growing and a shock treatment is in order but the bleach calculator says 8 gallons of 6% would be required. This seems like a awful lot considering my pool has a vinyl liner. Does this seem correct ? * Pool is 20*40 hopper pool with 8.5 foot diving end (25k...

My H-series millivot heater is about 8 years old and has a strange issue. When my Aqualink calls for heat the heater will not fire up sometimes so I opened the cover and found that if I pull one of the wires off the temp limit switch and put it back on it fires right up. I thought that maybe...

I have been looking at a lot of posts trying to understand how to quantify the electric savings of replacing my one speed motor with a two speed motor. (Retain Existing Pump) Below should be all the data required to calculate the savings but I just don't have the understanding of my electrical...

I have about a 5 year old Aqualink system that includes the Aquapure 1400. In the last three years I have replaced one board, two sensors and the cell.(Converted to 3-port cell) I always bring the cell in the house for the winter but not the cell because the wiring is in conduant. Considering...

I have the Jandy aqualink system that that controls my aquapure 1400, heater, spillover spa, etc. The system is about 5 years old and two years ago I replaced a board and last year I replaced the the flow sensor for about $200. Now I am getting the code 172,186 again so I think the sensor...

My motor went out on my pump two years ago during a real hot spell so I just went to the local pool store and replaced it with the same single speed motor even though I had been wanting to replace it with a two speed motor. I am now thinking of upgrading to a two speed motor to lower my...

My Dolphin Dynamic cord always gets tangled and Maytronics wants over $300 bucks for the new style cable that swivels. I notice the Aquabots use a simular cable and you can buy just the swivel for around $40 bucks. Has anyone attempted cutting there Dolphin cable and installing a Aquabot...
