I'm about the replace the hi/lo heater sensors (again) and am wondering if putting anti-corrosion compound on them would enable them to last a bit longer. Anyone try that or any reason NOT to try it? Bill W

Any suggestions as to make sure the top of the pad is the correct height for the existing pipes-- other than trial-n-error? Do they make 2 1/2" flexible PVC? Thanks Bill W

I don't know if this should go here or over in the under-construction forum. If it should be in the under-construction, let me know and I will either repost or move it. The company that built the pool layed down 3 separate concrete pads (about 2-3" thick if it matters) and placed the heater on...

Like so many others here, I'm looking to change my pool cleaner. Had a couple of Polaris 9300 series cleaners that lasted one maybe two seasons. At a grand a pop, that's just too much for so little. Leaning toward a Dolphin Nautilus CC. But I'm seeing some of these advertised for pools 35ft...

For giggles this morning I checked the CYA. I must have misread the reading or was in too bright a light the first time because today the CYA was 50. FC was around 5 and pH was 7.8 I added some more bleach this evening and will check in the morning to see what my levels are. BUT it appears...

Sorry, let me clarify. I tested CYA about 7-10 days ago. It was done according to the "disappearing dot trick". It was then basically zero, again according to the disappearing dot, when I tested this past Sunday. In between we had a lot of rain and an algae-bloom. Very little chlorine was...

I was testing my water last week and I had a cya of about 60 (maybe a little higher). We had some rain so I tested chloring and CYA yesterday. Chlorine and CYA are now non-existent. I expected the chlorine to disappear because of the rain but I've always been told that I'd have to basically...

I've gone through two Polaris 93xx systems. The first one came with the pool/house we bought. It had one of the wheel motors burn out. Can't buy just the motor, gotta buy the whole motor assembly. The actual motor is like $5 or so while the motor assembly was like $800 (at the time). Got...

After having gone through 3 robotic cleaners in as many years, I'm ready to jump ship and go back to manual vacuuming. However, we have a cartridge-filter so backwashing isn't really possible plus there is no drain nearby to handle the backwash. So I'm thinking of getting something like...

Ok, I'll give them a try Monday morning. Thanks!

A couple of weeks ago we had a number of quick power outages. You know the kind, off, then on in very quick succession. Unfortunately our 9350 was still plugged in when this happened. Now it does not work. I took the control unit apart because I know (from experience) there is a fuse on the...

"No need to mark this, I'll remember which is which.", I said before a myriad of distractions as I was taking the hi/lo sensors out for replacement. Now, of course, :hammer: , I don't remember now which is Hi and which is Low. I *think* the port closest to the heater (the longer one if it...

Finally getting around to working on this, i.e., replacing hi & lo limit switches. The "top" part of the hi-switch is still stuck inside the housing as shown in the picture. Tried to pry it out with screwdriver. No luck yet but have a couple more tries in me. Thinking ahead, if and when I...

To make a short story long, tried the heater the other day and kept getting "High Limit Fault". Did my research and determined that my limit switches are indeed bad. Got the switch closest to the heater (135deg ?) out with no problem. But could not get the other out. Pulled and wiggled and...

It turns out that after running the pumps via the service panel for about 3 weeks, I tried the iAqualink one more time and is working now. Not sure what I did as I did not power down or push the reset button. Guess the pool gods granted me a favor or something. FWIW, still researching...

A couple of weeks ago, I went into the app to turn on the spa for the kids. Everything worked fine, got the spa going, heater, etc. A few hours later I logged in via the PC to shut everything down. The problem was that the menu of options that is normally displayed wasn't. In fact, several...

Follow-up on the repaired board: Bob at BPEngineering ( http://www.bpelectronics.com/ ) has been great in helping me troubleshoot this nightmare. As I have found out, there is apparently more wrong in this power-center than just a bad board. I had plugged everything into the board when it...

Well, I got my repaired board back a few hours ago. plugged it all in but still no joy. Have a call into BPElectronics to see if there is some step I'm missing in getting this thing going.

I should have mentioned that I have a variable-speed pump. Don't know if that matters or not but certainly don't want to blow out the variable-speed part which is why I have hesitated doing exactly what you are talking about. Bill W.

I was just getting ready to post that very same link!!! Jandy finally called me back this evening (around 20:00 CDT believe it or not) and after talking with the gent on the other end I get asked two questions: 1) How old is the panel (just under 3 yrs)? To which he mumbled under his breath...

As I have found out, the main reason these transformers are so expensive is the 2.5A output. An equivalent output transformer, 60VA or higher, is almost $100. While I did end up finding a transformer rated 60VA, Class2, Class 3, it was almost as expensive as the official Jandy Replacement. So...

Finally got a chance to check the fuse. It's good so it it looking more and more like the transformer. I think I'm going to try one of the $20-30 models because I think it is INSANE to charge $200 for a simple transformer.

MORE info: Turns out I do have A/C to the panel (just gotta make sure you are checking the correct side of the relays). Took the front panel off to get to the transformer. Transformer (model TU62132F0) in the back has 120v going in and only 24v on one yellow wire. So I'm figuring that is my...

Late yesterday evening, I discovered that I have no power to my control panel. The front of the panel says "Aqualink RS" and inside there are a number of buttons but no model number (that I can find). Knowing what I would find, I tried the web-page/phone-app to see if I could connect to the...

ACK! I meant lower PH from aeration not TA. Must have been stunned by acid fumes while typing that. I'm trying to follow the Pool School article. As for the SLAM, yes, we do have some algae along one wall of the pool. Not bad really when you consider I have pretty much ignored the pool...

Starting the season (as is I'm sure everyone else in the southwest). Already done the usual, i.e., brush, vacuum, wash-out filters, etc. Currently building CYA up as it is currently 40. Tested PH which is a nice bright red so I know it is 8 or higher. TA is 190. I've added the amount of...

Thanks!

our 2yr old Polaris 9300 Sport has died--or at least one of the wheel driver motors (yeah, I took it apart). Manufacturer no longer makes them and there is no replacement. Would have to buy a whole new motor unit for big $$$. For about $100 or less I can get a vacuum head and hose and go "old...
