The water softener is somewhat new. Prior to the softener, the house had a "salt-less water conditioner" which did nothing to reduce hardness. I will work to get my TA down. Thanks for the pointers.

Thanks. have you any good method to airate the pool? I have tried the waterfall in the past with not much effect. My tap water has high TA which doesnt help the situation as the pool fills over the season... Should I also exchange some water to lower my CH of 525?

I have a basic understanding of the methods taught here and have used them successfully on a few different pools. My current house has my first SWG pool, so I am still learning some of the details about SWG. I just upgraded my automation to Pentair intellicenter with a IC40 cell. My old SWG cell...

My controller has failed so I am planning on purchasing a new controller and salt cell before next season. Anyone have advice for when the best time to purchase would be? Off season in the winter or wait until spring?

Thanks for the comparison website, that should help with looking at specs/cost. I was not aware that jandy cuts the warranty for DIY installation, that's a huge strike against them in my opinion.

It's the project that a developer created to incorporate a raspberry pi into aqualink, allowing you to control system via wifi. Similar to to what jandy does, maybe better? It requires some computer and tinkering skills to install/set up. https://github.com/sfeakes/AqualinkD/wiki

My current Aqualink controller is no longer functioning correctly. It will randomly (now practically daily) lose all program memory and/or time date memory. Sometimes is will lock up with all the lights lit up on the interface panel, or lock up with no lights or display at all. Totally...

You are correct, I miss spoke. It's the aqua link. I got aquapure from the salt cell.

I have a Jandy Aquapure system that is loosing its program constantly. It started losing the time setting a while back and I changed the 9v battery which made that better. Now it is losing the schedule program and anything else in its memory such as the custom button and relay assignment. Once...

I am curious to try one just for you all's entertainment... However that sounds like an expensive experiment if it ends badly.

Hello-- based off the many threads here, I am seriously considering getting a pentair warrior. However my pool has a beach entry. Will the robot drive itself out of the pool?? I want it to clean the pool, not drive around my wife's flowerbeds.

Turned out to be a Bad sensor... never assume new out of the box means it will work. :rolleyes:

I have the famous error 170 on my jandy unit. My flow/salinity sensor has rust on the sensor and the sensor is swolen. I purchased a new sensor, new one has the inline box on the cord for program a/b. Model I purchased is R0452500 I installed the new sensor. Error 170 went away. However the box...

The date code on the ones I got are 19233, so if my math is correct it would be August. ?

Bought this house, the pool was existing. It has rocks and pool deck that is some sort of topcoat over concrete. There are spots that must not have adhered properly and became loose or hollow sounding to step in. Naturally the loose stuff crumbles and ends up in the pool. So I used a putty knife...

Just heads up to everyone who enjoys a good deal. My local Walmart now has chlorine 2 pack gallon jugs 10% for $4. The sign doesn't say clearance so I don't know what's up with the price change. That's 15.6 cents/Oz... Cheap enough I stocked up. ? Check your local store.

Ok, I think I figured out the problem. My tap water (well water) just tested at 230ppm. ? I thought I tested my rap water somwhere in the 160 or so range earlier in the year. That may have been my tap water CH test I'm thinking of.. So I guess if my fill water has over 200 alkalinity, I just...

Hello friends, Every previous pool I've owned always had low TA and I could adjust with baking soda. This pool is high, somewhere in the ballpark of 190. I've been using acid and trying airating. My pH is quick to rise even if I don't airate. I am on a well, and the TA of my water is high. So...
