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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

Hi. Helping a friend so details are scarce. He has manual valves for his pool/spa. I was trying to figure out if its possible to add actuators to the valves without having then connected to a controller. There was a pretty detailed post on different types of actuators. They all seem to be 3...

I have a friend that has a dumb pool system with mechanical timers and switches to operate his pool pumps. I’m a bit of a home automation geek and was telling him I could set up his pumps on an automated system fairly easy by using a zwave relay to drive a dry contact that can control his pump...

Afternoon. I just completed an iAquaLink Upgrade using an IQ30-RS kit. 600 cheaper getting online and installing my self than a local company...and really only a few hours work. I have most of it running....just a few things to figure out. - i thought i took pictures of all my PDA menu...

Hi. I have a couple of dead Jandy Watercolor LEDS and when looking for options to change them out i was speaking to a guy who suggested that i should consider making the change to 12V LEDs. I've decided that while having has 120v on the pool lights for years has been safe - it cant hurt to...

My pool is almost 10 years old. About 2 years ago my GF breaker would trip occasionally. I pulled both lights out and one of them looked to have a little moisture on the inside of the glass....fog really ...as when i opened it up it wasn't wet per se but i can imagine it was enough to trip a...

Morning. I have pooched water falls pump. I want to pull it apart to see what i need to order to repair but once i pull it apart, i won't be able to put it back in line with the suction and discharge . It looks like each of them have their own suction and discharge. Any thoughts if removing...

I have a jandy PHPM 2.0 pump that’s used on my slide and waterfall. Last week I fakked up And used the pump to drain some water out of the pool. Well. It dropped below the skimmers and there must not have been enough volume of water coming from the drain in the bottom and the pump seized. Well...

Hi. In ground salt water pool, Houston, Tx I think its roughly 26 thousand gallons...but honestly cant find the documentation of when it was built...and odd shape so 26k was a rough guess based on the avg dimensions Fusion 2 Nature Soft SWG Back Story. Up until 6 months ago my pool builder was...

Morning. I'm replacing a handy 400 LXI with a Handy 400 JXI. 10 years old...its run its life. The guy installing the new heater noted that the 3\4" line that the initial pool installer ran is to small and suggested two options. 1. have gas company install a 2 PSI meter and then drop back tot...

Hi. My pool was built in 2012 before the GFCI requirement came into effect. I’m getting a new heater installed and wondering if I need to replace the standard breaker with a GFCI. Yes. I know it’s safer. And Yes I don’t mind paying for the breaker. Only issue is can’t find the right breaker...

Good day. Was having some issues with my pool heater not coming on consistently. Decided to do a through inspection and turns out that my unit is pooched. The sight glass / view port has fallen out. That view port screws into the main assembly of the heater and it looks like the threads have...

I recently took over doing the pool chemicals from a service company. It’s a salt water pool but oddly enough when I took my water to get tested there was hardly any salt in the pool (800 ppm) and makes sense now as he did tell me he has been adding chlorine pucks frequently. Well. I boosted...

Hi. Im sure this has been asked before but couldn't see it on a search. I have a FSoft 1400 Fusion Nature 2 chorine generator and apparently it hasn't been working for a while. I recently took over my pool chemicals from my pool builder's service ( after 10 years) and when i took my water in...

Good Morning. After 10 years, im finally going to start testing my pool chemistry and do the chemical service myself. With the increase in the price of chemicals, my service provider put the price up to 150 a month for the weekly test and chemicals and with the 50% increase in service its the...
