Hi, I've been running AquaPure 1400 for about 8 months w/o any issues w/ salt levels reading between 3300 & 3600 ppm... Tonight I logged in to adjust something and noticed that my swg is now reading 4500ppm... Any idea what would cause the sudden spike? Thanks!

Hi, I've a 27k gal pool w/ swg. It was maintained by pb for first 2 mo. the chemo levels seemed to be ok. I used the tf100 test kit. Now that the pb is no longer maintaining the pool, I measured Fc for the first time since the salt was added & got the following results: FC 0.5 CC 0 CYA 20 TA...

Hi, We finally put salt into our recently completed 27K gal IG... The pool is controlled via Aqualink RS8 and has Aquapure 1400 SWG. The SWG is set to run @ 25%. Based on my understanding, that means the SWG is on 25% of the pump runtime. So, in my case, with the pump running for 10hrs/day, the...

Hi, we're in the last steps of our IGP build & would love some suggestions on plants to put behind a bond beam. There's about 6' of space between bond beam and back block wall. We just want something green, very low maintenance that's not going to create a mess in the pool. The area gets full...

Hi, I've an iAqualink with 2 Intelliflo VS pumps. One is the main circulation pump, the other is the spa booster pump. The main circulation pump turns off when the system turns off 'pool mode', but there doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the booster pump w/o sending an all off command. Is...

Hi, our pool is almost done, and has been filled with water. The pool has 4 returns (2") and the spa has 1 2.5" return in the floor. The pool return is connected to spa return with a check valve right after the swg. What I'm seeing, is that the spa seems to be returning alot of the water, while...

Does anyone know what the difference is between the various Jandy temp sensors? 7784 vs 7785 vs 7790? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, We're planning on using Arizona flagstone for our coping, and have selected 'buff' color based on the sample our pb brought over. When the stone arrived today it was much more pink then the sample. It looked a lot like 'Rosa' option we didn't go with. I know stone color will vary from...

Hi, I'm building a pool and have heard different opinions on whether the main drain should be plumbed through the skimmer or not. I do like the idea of a dedicated auction line for each, but, which one is better? Why? Thanks!

Hi, How do you figure out optimal skimmer / return placement for a specific pool shape? Are there any calculators / simulation tools that will do that? Thanks!

Hi, we're in the middle of the build and are going to have 3 sheer descents installed on a dedicated pump w/ a valve at each sheer to regulate flow. Do I want to run this line through a filter? Should the pump basket catch anything that may clog the sheer descent? Thanks!

Hi, I'm in the process of building a pool and need to make a choice re: the main pump. This pump will only be responsible for filtering/cycling water. This is going onto a ~27K gal salt water pool. Here are my three choices (I'm looking at jandy to match rest of equipment): 1HP single speed...

Hi, I'm almost done putting together my automation components. The only thing missing is the temperature sensor. I'm going to be using an aqualink rs8 to control my pool & spa. So, my questions are as follows: I've heard that you can use Pentair sensor instead of a jandy one with the RS...

So we're finally starting the process of building a pool (again...)... Got the HOA approval and are now waiting on city to issue permits... if all goes well, we should start digging within 2 weeks or so... Specs: Area: 804sf Perimeter: 120f Depth: 3.5' - 6.5' Volume: Guestimating it to be...

We're about to start building a pool and have chosen to go with a SWG. But the more I read, the more I'm getting concerned. There seems to be a lot of polarizing information wrt to swg. Anyone has had swg for any significant length of time? Any issues with heater or other equipment? Any issues...

Hi, I'm putting together an automation system for a pool I'm about to build & Aurelius caught my eye. Does anyone have any real world experience with the device? How well does it work w/ Aqualink? Anyone w/ experience connecting it with micasaverde Vera? Thanks!

Hi, we're about to start our pool, and are going to have 3 24" water sheers installed on a 12" raised 34' bond beam. Someone brought up an interesting: would these water features really look good given the fact that the beam is only 12" tall. Has anyone seen this done on a relatively short wall...

Hi, this is my first post, so hopefully its in the correct forum. I'm about to sign a contract to build a pool. The PB is insisting on using a 2hp variable speed pump + 2hp air blower for the 8 jet spa as well as the rest of the pool (~26k gallons). The other pump is going to be dedicated to...
