Alright, I will try to make this short. We are building a new pool. Freeform with the hot tub part on one end, 527sq. feet overall. I originally wanted to do a Pentair Mastertemp 400 gas and Pentair Ultratemp 140 Heat Pump. The problem is my pad doesn't have room for both. So am I better...

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of the Easy Clean DE Filter by Pentair? Does it do the same job as a conventional DE system? I'm familiar with DE, but this system doesn't backwash like the others. The brochure says to take the filters out and wash them off and put them back. It also...

Hi. I used to live in Key West, FL. We sold our home and have moved to Sarasota, FL. We are in the process of building a new home. At my Key West house we had all Jandy equipment. If you read through some of my past posts, you will notice it was on fiasco after another. So I am considering...

Hi, I was wondering what is reasonable for time spent to replace a jandy heat sensor. My pool guy charged me for 4 hours of his time to replace the sensor. I looked up how to do this on youtube and it seems rather easy. He is charging me $125 and hour, that's $500!! WHAT! No Way. How can...

Hi, my Jandy heater recently had a new capacitor switch installed. The repair man didn't put it back in remote mode. So I went to the heater, put it in remote t-stat mode. Now on my Iaqualink app, it shows the pool heater in red all the time, even when it isn't heating any more. It used to...

Thought my spa had a leak because I was loosing chemistry such as CH, Salt, and CYA. Had the leak detectors come out. They confirmed I had a leak. OK Well they couldn't find the leak, they had all the jets out and then put them all back. I found a small leak at the plumbing and fixed it...

I want to know that I am understanding the logic for higher cyanuric acid use with a SWG. So will the experts please let me know if the following is the right understanding? The part I don't understand is the statement about the "buildup of Chlorine degrades the performance of the salt...

What about if you have an iAqualink, Jandy SWG. Other members talk about turning their SWG on/off and that the SWG should never be run when the pumps are not running. Mine does not have an on/off. You simply set the percentage of chlorine. My cell is not working properly and I think it is a...

I was going to ask what the chemical was, but never mind. Sorry I tried to delete this post after starting it and I don't know how.

Well I have to say, even though I use the TFP method for my salt water pool, I have issues because my salt cell chlorinator isn't working properly. My new pool person (yesterday was his first day) told me I have high phosphates in my water and wants to put in a phosphate remover. I broke down...

Side conversation split from TA Homeostasis Dirk, I have fired 2 pool companies so far. It seems I need to pick my devil. My glass tiles are ruined at the water line and my pool is only going on 5 years old. It's a battle dealing with incompetent people! I go away 3 months out of the year...

Hi, my SWG for both the pool and hot tub are not working. I have told my pool company and they keep ignoring the problem. In the meantime I have been adding chlorine. When I’m away, the pool people add trichlor. Now my CYA is up to 85. I’m going away for a month. The new SWG’s won’t be...

Hello everyone. I have what I think is a basic question. The eye of hurricane Irma passed over us in the Florida keys and we are not able to get to our house now to check things out. I turned off the pool equipment at the breaker box before we left. I have no idea what the status of my pool...

I have two SWG. One for the pool and one for the spa. They are AquaPure by Jandy. I am questioning if they could be wired wrong. I added salt to the Spa yesterday. The manual says to turn off the SWG to 0 percentage for 24 hours after adding salt. So I did. Today my chlorine level was...

I will try to keep this brief- if that's possible. My pool is at my vacation home. So I'm not there. I have SWG's for the pool and spa. I hired a pool person to manage my pool. They came once a week. Well they didn't watch the salt levels in the pool, I had a leak in the auto-fill line and...

Hopefully someone here can answer my question. We just built an infinity edge pool. It is sort of a half oval shape and is 31x15. My question is, can you swim in the pool with the pumps off? Here is why I am asking this question. When the pumps are off, the water will overflow into the...

I am looking at hiring a pool company and I want to know what is "overkill" for what actually needs to be done. I have been learning a lot on this forum, but I am still brand new! I have never owned a pool. Eventually I will be able to take on the maintenance myself, at this time it is not...
