    Pool Service recommended adding CO2 Injection at same time as SWG. Do I need it?

    When the pool was originally built I had a Jandy AquaPure that worked well. I got tired of replacing cells so decommissioned that and now just use liquid chlorine. I'm considering installing a new SWG (Jandy TruClear) and the pool service company is recommending adding a CO2 injection system...

    How to address this etching issue? Help is appreciated!

    We have a dark color plaster that, over 17 yrs, has developed this splotchiness or etching. I realize there’s algae and that’s being addressed soon. Any thoughts on addressing the etching? Thank you!!!

    Drain pool using pump but the Polaris booster pump is activated when the main pump goes above a certain RPM. Will this damage the booster pump?

    Hello, After 17 years, my water is in need of replacement and I need to drain a 12K gallon pool. Since I'm able to shutoff the skimmers to isolate the main drain, I was planning to use the main pump to drain. (Thanks to TFP for advice in this area!) However, I recently replaced the main pump...

    Chemical storage - outside garage? Check. Don't mix muriatic acid and chlorine? So now I need a 2nd storage location outside garage???

    I have a Jandy CL340 with a 12,000 plaster pool (SWG). With regular (6 month) cleaning, I got almost 5 years out of the original Jandy/Zodiac cartridges. After replacing them with Pleatco's, I've cleaned them three times in 15 months when the pressure increases around 10psi (from 10-20). Does...

    Replacement options for Jandy AquaPure 1400 - move to Jandy TruClear or others?

    Hi, I have a 12,000 gallon in-ground pool in Austin Texas (lots of mineral in water) that was originally installed with a JandyAquaPure 1400 SWG. When it’s working it seems to work well but in ten years I’ve had to replace the control board once, the flow sensor at least twice, and I’m coming...

    Jandy AquaPure 1400 to 700 Retrofit

    All, My PB installed the larger Jandy AquaPure 1400 SWG in our 10,000 gallon pool and I've already replaced the cell once in 7 years and it's out again. I was looking at options (different brand?) but, for cost reasons, will probably just replace the cell with another AquaPure. But I've...
