Im At a friends, who’s pool pump just started making an odd noise. I can’t tell if it’s from the motor or the pump side though. I tried to post a video so people might be able to help make suggestions but can’t add a video here. It’s a jandy e pump variable speed 2.7. It’s also coinciding...

Follow up after cleaning the salt cell. Happy to report that after about 18 hours of running the pump my pool has chlorine. Went from 1-2 on my test kit to probably over 10. I run the punp About 10 hours a day. Will dial It back to 75% and monitor for a while. Appreciate all the help...

Appreciate that. I have never really given thought to doing my own testing and leaving the recommendations.

I’ll have to do some more research clearly. Sadly for me, doing my own chemicals has never really been an option due to travel. Simply not home consistently enough to check or do the chemicals, clean the baskets…etc. I have had to rely on the people I pay that come my weekly. I can and will...

So. Might have had a couple of issues. I normally leave the aquapure set to 90%. When I looked at it today it was set to 70 % on spa. / 45% pool. Not sure why it changed but likely a factor. I had my hot tub on just prior to checking everything. It is an FSoft1400 With the hot tub on...

I appreciate that detailed answer. I’m thinking that it’ll probably be best to keep the salt system. I’m a tad ignorant in this. For almost all of the 10 years I’ve had a pool I’ve been paying a guy to do the chemicals. Thanks again

If the salt cell is bad I’d hate to replace it yet again. I’ve seen some drop in replacements for other systems, quite less expensive than even the cell portion of the fusion soft. Anyone know of a decently priced drop in replacement? Would prefer to not have to replumb. May as well do some...

Well dang. When the last cell went bad the pool guy was putting pucks in for quite some time before we realized the cell was bad. And you’re all absolutely right. The CYA got very high and I had to drain the pool….which I hate doing as I’m told it stresses the gunite and creates a risk of...

Hi. Hoping someone has done this, or knows if it works. I have a Zodiak fusion salt cell. The 1st call lasted 7 years. The second lasted about 2 years. No longer producing any chlorine. Zodiak sells 2 versions of chlorine systems that seems to share the same base. The salt cell...

Sorry for the late reply. I ordered the oring , used oring grease and re installed. Anyone know if there is a decent rebuild kit? It’s 10 years old. Motor works fine. I don’t mind doing a good service if there is a good kit I can buy. May as well get a complete new locking ring too! Cheers

My Jandy JEP 2.0 recently started sucking air. well i think thats whats happening The pump isn't filling. When i remove the locking ring / lid and clean it up it starts sucking so i think i might have a bad seal. My setup has a 3\4" garden valve on the outlet above the pump. when i open...

good question. I honestly cant recall. I know that the last light i haven't changed is starting to act up. when i replace it - i'll have a look at which wire i connected to see how i hooked it up

Perfect. Appreciate the info. Regards Mac

Im pretty certain my JXI has that diverter valve where the water doesnt flow through the heater when its in pool mode. I just called the installer and he confirmed that the water doesnt go through the heater unless heat is called for. Strange Jandy would not enable the valve to open when it...

Good morning. I had replaced my pool heater last year. I had a Jandy JXI 400k BTU installed. With my older LXI - the water always circulated through the heater. With the new JXI - i think the water only circulates through the heater when the heater is actually on. Just dawned on me ( and i...

I did a scan for cold, freeze and climate. I found a couple of references I did see a condensation reference bit more to do with long runs of venting. Mine is direct vent so no additional pipe installed. Based on what I’ve seen I think I can run it. These is this statement that makes...

It’s a jandy JXI 400k BTU natural gas. Cheers. Mac

Goo morning. we're supposed to get a hard freeze here in Houston in the next few days. My freeze protect works but i wanted to ask the question of its OK to run the heater when its below freezing? I know some people mentioned that if the power was out - turning on the heater when things are...

Thank You. I have it connected as per your diagram and it is indeed working. The next step is connecting up a 24v DPDT relay. Found one for less an 15 bucks. It has a NO and a NC contact so when unenergized - routes power to the NC relay ( going to set it up where that is pool flow...

Good Morning. I picked up a Tork pool valve actuator with the intent on trying to integrate it into my home automation system. I wanted to get it all working on a bread board test setup before installing. This actuator has 3 wires. White, Back and Red - and is supposed to work off a 24V AC...
