Hello all! My Jandy heat pump's fan won't spin and it certainly isn't hearing the water. A pool guy came to diagnose and told me that the controller (Jandy R-3008800) was bad and needed replacing. He quoted me $1000 for parts and labor to do it. I see online the part is available for around...

Hello experts! Just finished a SLAM because my filter broke and it took weeks to get even a refurbished replacement. In the interim I had monsterish green icky pond for a while. The water is now clean and clear but I’m noticing horrific wall staining that won’t go away despite SLAM level...

Howdy y’all. I recently had the pool patio re-leveled and the contractor had a small accident where some of the paver sand (not polymeric!) got dumped into the water. At first I was just gonna use my suction-side vacuum to clean it up but started having second thoughts about the DE filter...

Hello all! I'm afraid I've gone and dropped my Jandy AquaPalm PDA one to many times. The LCD screen is cracked and unreadable. Totally. A new PDA is $500. This seems ridiculous. I'd love to replace the screen as I think that's the only problem with the device. Anybody know how? None of...

Hello venerable experts! Anybody know what kind of stain this is? I say "stain" because it won't brush away. Though it's been lessening as I continue to slam. Once again, the pool got away from me as we've been making house repairs (finally) due to Hurricane Irma. Anything else I can do to...

Hey folks! Anybody ever repair an LCD screen on a Jandy PDA? It's not cracked, but is functioning oddly. It's functions are fine and so I refuse to spend $300+ on a new one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone... I remember seeing somewhere once there was a forumla for calculating how long to run one's pump each day? I've been running mine eight hours daily and I'm wondering if I can cut that down, and maybe save a penny or two. Thanks all!

Hello TFP'ers! I'm doing some touch-up repairs to my pool and was wondering what should I be using to fill in between the stones that border the actual pool. Looks like the concrete is broken? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all! My pump motor, a Jandy Stealth, is now whining and whrring. It is intermittent, as in whrrr, then not whirr. Then back again. The water is circulating. My intuition guides me to the bearing. Anyone else have other ideas?

Hi everyone! I'd like to buy a test for salinity in my salty pool, something I can use seperate from the AquaPure's own meter. Is the Taylor K-1766 a good idea? Or something else? Thanks all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi again folks! I just spent a couple grand having my spa dug out to have leaky jets replaced. Now, everything seems to be working again. But my pool pro lowered my Jandy AquaPure 700 down to 60%. Said I was running it too high (75%). I do trust him, but I'm curious to know if there is a...

Howdy folks! I just cleaned out and re-powdered my DE filter two weeks ago. And since then I've had to shut down to fix a leak. Leak is fixed. But now my water is green and cloudy, so I'm about to slam. Do I need to redo my filter? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey folks! Please note the 2 photos below. I assume this a flow sensor. As you can see from the second pic, water spews from it when the pump is on. I opened it. It still has a small rubber o-ring and I tightened the clamp. But it still leaks. I think this is a part of a leak issue I've...

Hello All... Hope you're all getting into your pools! Does anyone know much about the Jandy WaterColors LED lights? I have a fairly standard install, with the big light in the deep end of the pool of the smaller light in the spa. The spa light isn't working. Often it doesn't turn on with...

Hello all... Here's a great question for you wonderfully intelligent folks: I've been in the midst of SLAMing (SWG broke, which is a whole other issue) and one evening while brushing I noticed my two in-water lights were no longer synchronizing colors. One lamp is in the deep end of the...

Greetings all! My Jandy AquaPure is acting up. At unpredictable times, it reads "no flow." Sometimes it seems to be working just fine, others, I get that message. The entire system is about three years old. The AquaPure 700 cell is clean. The sensor is clean, and is only about a year old...

We are looking good thanks to you! [attachment=0:301912ah]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1373473615.589088.jpg[/attachment:301912ah]

Hey pool pals! Anybody know what this green stuff is on the ledge of my pool? Or how I should go about getting rid if it? Thanks, as always! Happy Fourth of July to fellow US'ers! [attachment=0:ur2tnitu]ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372962810.724073.jpg[/attachment:ur2tnitu]

Hello again all! Please excuse yet another silly question from me. Are the unbranded reagents in the TF test kits actually from Taylor? I ask because my local pool store sells Taylor reagents using the same codes (R-XXXX) and if they're the same it could help me if I need a refill in a pinch...

Well, now that my pool is 99% under control (through proper use of my TF Test Kit and a real shocking job)... I've gotten curious. I went to my local Pinch-A-Penny (They sell Taylor reagents) and was curious to see how their testing battery would compare to the one I performed that morning...

Hello folks.... There is so much information on this site that it's a bit daunting to a guy like me who needs a simpler instruction of what to do. I recently bought a home in South Florida with an in-ground pool and a Jandy SWG (The AquaPure 700). I am convinced the previous owner didn't...
