After putting 80lbs of salt (as requested by he Pilot) the unit appears fine, on and no more lights. I *think* there was a flow problem initially, but the lights remained after i cleaned the filter. After removing the tri-sensor and taking the cord on and off and then putting the whole thing...

The PSI meter on my filter is the same as it always is, but I suspect that's because it doesn't work (I'm only guessing, but it's *never* changed in the four years I've had it even when the filter is very dirty). The only way I can judge flow is the water cascading over the hot tub into the...

And then what do you do? I'm not saying that's my problem, but if it IS (or at least part of my problem) I'm not sure how I'd fix it. I tried a coat hanger just to see if I could even tell if the valve was open or not but didn't seem to have any luck. And since *everything* is glued into the...

Okay, I'll check out that post. Weird thing is, after the second time I opened up the tri-sensor and reassembled things and turned the pump back on this morning the system actually started and ran for a while (which is to say the autopilot turned on and all seemed well with no warning lights...

Thanks, Jason, for the reply. I have indeed already cleaned the screen (as well as cleaned out my filter and all other screens/skimmers). I'll check the cable again, but it seemed fine when I did remove the tri-sensor (I removed it to see if it needed cleaning). Also, since I'm getting salt...

Thanks, I do understand -- I can't use my pool, but I also don't want it to turn green (seeing how the daytime temps are getting in the 80's here). Tomorrow I'm going to put a lot of salt in just to make sure the salt part of the sensor is still working correctly (since it's a "tri" sensor I'm...

I'm starting a new thread rather than bury my questions on the second page of a thread which may not pertain to me anyway. My pool pilot is showing "check flow" and won't come on (of course). I've checked the flow -- cleaned the filter, all valves okay, and the flow itself (as shown by the...

Thanks, got it. Okay, the sensor doesn't appear to need cleaning, the pressure seems fine, and the cell is clean. I do note that, unlike some here, I get a salt reading when I check (it says 1400ppm and to add 150lbs). That seems to tell me that the sensor is fine (well, at least in terms of...

Um, I don't see this (might be stupid). Could someone explain again how to remove the tri-sensor (yup, I got exactly the same problem, of course). I went ahead and cleaned out the pool filter (which did need cleaning) and this seems to have restored flow properly, but with this error I want to...

I just ran diagnostics and one other thing -- the Solar sensor is reported as "Opened", while the other two sensors (air and pool) are marked as "OK". So... that doesn't sound good. Could that be the whole issue here? IOW, is it just as simple as the solar sensor is blown and therefore I...

Folks, I have a Jandy Aqualink inside our house and it has worked fine for years. We had a power outage, though, and suddenly the solar panels disappeared from the menu system (so I can't control them remotely or even have them work in any way). I can go out and at the manual control panel by...

It's concrete with a "diamondbrite" finish (whatever the heck that is). It's three years old. I did initially have high pH and had to constantly add decreaser, but it's slowly stabilized over the years to where I'm only lowering it once every two or three weeks. It's a given, though, that...

I've never checked the fill water (probably a good idea) but I have an inground concrete pool with diamondbrite finish. pH is always somewhat high (7.8 or so, so I'm always adding decreaser, at least once a week) but doesn't seem to be a huge deal. It's a pool/spa combo so I'm thinking the...

I've been able to keep my pool free of "pool store" chemicals for quite some time but now I'm kind of stumped. While my pH is fine (7.6) my total alkalinity has kept rising until it's 175. The pool store says to add Muriatic acid, which I will do if there's no other advice here but I want to...

Um, thanks. Bummer, though -- I have so many issues with my water (high solids count and other things) that this is going to be a problem. 18 inches at a time is going to be a real bummer (because I'm going to get into diminishing returns adding and draining each time -- might only be able to...

Based on a wide variety of things I think I need to empty out a substantial amount of water from my (13,000 gallons) gunnite diamondbrite finish inground pool. Living in Florida I've never had to do this (only drain a little rainwater from time to time) and I just want to make sure I'm not going...

Thanks, Ted. Yeah, I came by here after posting at our "other" pool place just in case no one was going to answer there (but, of course, I got the same answer there). It's nice to have a new site (new to me :>) where new people can register -- still pretty weird about the other place and...

Thanks, everyone. Yes, I'm almost sure I bought the wrong algacide. In any case, I'm shocking (with bleach) and am pretty confident it will be okay (the water turned out not to be green -- just early morning shadows). Just won't be able to use the spa for a week or so <g>.

I think I know what happened but I'm not sure how to fix it. In an effort to please the wife (and get rid of algae *fast*) I used some algacide -- yep, I know better, but I've done it in the past without difficulties. The problem is that I used a different one this time (bought it by mistake)...
