I went out today to empty out my baskets and noticed my main pump was only about 1/4 of the way full with water and I had no pressure in my filters. I immediately turned everything off and called my PB (still under warranty) They are sending a Jandy tech to look over everything. What could...

When I fire up my heater to get the spa started up, we notice a strong gas like smell, I'm guessing its the heating element getting hot. Is this normal? It happens everytime the heater fires up. I have the Jandy LXi heater and our pool is fairly new (May 2014) Thanks all

Hello Everyone, I'm a new pool owner. I was told by my "pool school" guy not to touch my two skimmer valves that they should always remain open. Is this correct? :confused: When would I need to close the skimmer valves? (they are Jandy valves, not sure if this matters) Thanks.

Had a meeting with a PB that only uses Pentair equipment (pumps, filter, Kreepy Krauly robot, led lights, sanitizer) - I was told that Pentair was the best out of Jandy and Hayward. Is this true or is Pentair just the more expensive of the all three? I must say we were very impressed with PB...
