    I will just leave it alone as suggested as it seems happy. Oh and yes the water was shocked with a gallon of bleach before any salt was added. My filter is on a timer to run every every 3 hours for 1 hour and heater shuts off 15 min before the pump. All seems good

    The Jandy is not giving any warning signs. All of my test with the LaMotte 2056 ColorQ Pro 7 Digital Pool Water Test Kit come out within the suggested limits. How do I get a true test of the salt in the water? I know when I walk into the pool room, I can smell the Chlorine and my eyes burn a...

    Gas Heater and Pump Timing

    I thought of that, another timer to shut down the heater 15-20 min before the pump shuts off to give the heater time to cool down. Also my pump, filter, and heater are all in the basement.

    NEWBE! Salt Question

    Thanks again everyone, now I just got to figure out how to fix my leak. I am 99% sure the leak is around the pool steps gaskets. We knew it had a leak from the beginning due to the water level dropping about 1 inch per day. It stopped dropping at the bottom step gasket. I had since tightened the...
