    Just completed a brand new white plaster pool and it has grit and other stuff in the plaster

    I just had an inground, salt pool installed at my new house. I've had a pool before and reviewed everything carefully with the builder. My last pool was gray and I liked that minor discoloration was not noticeable. He said, no problem, white plaster can be cleaned easily. So I went with white...

    Pump makes humming noise and does not pump

    My pool was at first pumping, but making a humming sound sometimes. My pool repair woman was convinced it was the capacitor so she changed it. It kept doing the same thing, then stopped pumping altogether. Just would hum like it was trying to kick on. So she changed the impeller thinking it...

    JANDY Aqualink PDA Programming problem

    Thanks for the advice. I ended up just using my old PDA. But I still cannot get it to schedule cleaning, pumps, etc. It can only turn things on or off. the guy who put it in for me somehow programmed it to run certain things regularly. But I can't reach him to find out how he did that. He used...

    JANDY Aqualink PDA Programming problem

    So, I was having problems with my pool equipment, and this technician took out my old jandy aqualink control board and installed a new one that he said was covered under warranty. But when I try to use it with my old PDA, the PDA controls all the functions except it doesn't have a control for...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    Should I pour shock in for now and stir it around? I'll post parts when I get home. So I came home and looked for the owner's manuals. The original system installed in 2004 was a Polaris Sol 1000. A few years later, the board burned out or something. Anyway, I bought a conversion kit. The...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    Having more problems then I thought getting electrical fixed. My electrician drew a dead end calling the manufacturer and distributors. Not sure the problem. I have an aqualink control panel that originally came with a large remote control. I later upgraded it with some Jandy product. I can...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    I checked all of the breakers. Then I got a hold of my electrician friend. He found a 9 volt battery that was dead inside the panel and thought at first it was that simple. But after replacing the battery, we still couldn't get it to turn on. He checked the fuse, and everything else. He...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    So of course I can't find an electrician over memorial day to easily. I'm worried about the pool getting green without the pumps running. Any suggestions on what I can dump in there to keep it clean while the pumps are down? Can I buy shock and just dump it in without pumps? Any suggestions...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    I tried hitting the spa mode button on the panel before the power went out and the valve on the right (goldline) didn't move. I didn't see any switch on the valve itself. Is there supposed to be one? I only found switched on the left polaris valve.

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    If it's not doing that, does it mean I probably need a whole new valve? If so, any particular type recommended given the equiptment I have?

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    When I switched it to spa mode, just the valve on the left (the polaris) did a 180. The last valve on the right didn't do anything. Then shortly after the whole thing stopped working. I cant turn anything on at all. So now I'm trying to reach an electrician to see what's wrong with that...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    Do you know why it would not be switching? I took a picture of the valves when running ok in pool mode. There are 5 valves. The big valve to the left is the polaris, the big valve to the right is the goldline. The second picture is of the switches on the polaris.

    Related problems or separate? Spa draining to pool, etc.

    I am having a similar problem. I have a pool and spa with a spillover between them. I have it programmed to run the filter pump on pool mode 2x a day. Today, I used the remote control to turn on spa mode in order to get the spa heated. The spa started draining. I read this and thought maybe...

    Spa draining when I put pool on spa mode

    So I have a pool with an attached spa. It's a aqualink I think. I have a remote control. It always worked fine. Today, I turned it on spa mode in order to heat it, and it started draining. It looked like it was draining into the pool. I turned everything off on the remote and tried again...
