Hello, Everytime I clean my pool filters, there is a blob of rust on the inner ring of the pool filter housing. Is this supposed to be happening? I usually wash it and scrub it as best I could and put it back together. I was just assuming it's normal because metal on water causes rust, but...

common sense prevailed. I shopvac’d the innards with a few different attachments to get the debris out. It’s nice and clean now. I’m wondering if there’s a problem if I plug it up with water in it. I wonder if algae willl build up in there if stagnant water is completely sealed in. I found a...

I have an umbrella port in my baha. It's been uncovered and I could see debris collecting in it. I had a few questions: Can I shop vac the debris out? Can I buy a plug for it? The length of hole is a little over 1.5". I'm not sure if this is standard. It looks like the rim of it might be...

I tried logging out and back in of the aqualink app since I was having problems connecting to web. The main GUI interface was working fine. When I try to relogin the app states "network not available". It inclines me to believe there is a problem with connection to Jandy's backend. Another...

I’m actually finding winter/spring more challenging since there is a lot of wind blowing Crud into the pool which is a major factor why I’m considering a pool boy.

I have followed the TFP guides to maintaining my pool and fired my pool guy mid last year. I'm getting tired of doing all the work and have better ways to spend the time. I would like a pool guy to handle the cleaning, brushing, and weekly acid regime, sock method for conditioner, borates, etc...

Thanks. Can I just unscrew the diverter valve while equipment is off and pull out the orings? Are these the replacement parts? https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-NEV005-Diverter-3-Port-rings/dp/B00BW51MYU

I was trying to tweak the suction side valve today and noticed when I put in the upper position to increase the speed of the pool vacuum that the pump has a large air pocket. When I put it in lower position for skimming, all the air gets purged and seems normal. I wanted to increate the vacuum...

I’m having concrete poured soon. I’m wondering how the expansion foam/ backing rod should be installed between the concrete and coping. I wanted to make sure that it would be sufficient for dec-o-seal. The last job was incorrect.

The irrigation lines are in the same hole, coming from opposite direction and are capped off. There are strips of astroturf surrounding the pool.

Here are the bucket level results after 24 hours. The pool water level didn't really fall at all. The bucket was a bit elevated above the pool water and it was windy yesterday and that had more evaporation than the pool! For reference, the bottom of the vertical piece of tape was yesterday's...

Testing via chemicals was challenging.There was no trace of chlorine even though my pool was at ~7ppm this morning so a little short of 10. The salt test kind of produced a blob but there wasn't any salmon color, it was just brown. I'm trying the bucket test now. We also dug up more of the...

Thanks, I bumped up my Aquapure to double what it's set at now. I do have Salt test too so I have a few different controls to test against it sounds like.

Good idea!I was thinking this but didn’t know if it got contaminated when it hit the dirt. Sounds like I’ll try that too. I also use borates but don’t have a tester for that :(

I'm not sure what a high water table is so I got some Googling to do. Turning the pump on didn't appear to change the way the water filled the hole. It seemed consistent with the pump on and off. The water level stayed the same after refill. It didn't get higher, stayed the same. The water...

I'm having drainage installed around my pool. When the rooter company dug up a section of the dirt close to the pool wall, they noticed water was pooling right after they vacuumed it. It did this repeatedly. Around the same spot is a line that runs to the spa and/or baja. The concern is the line...

Just checking back here, the overflow drain wasn't connected to the main drain so it just went into a dirt cavity. Drainage is being installed as we speak.

I recently changed the schedule on my Jandy iAqualink due to heavy rain. I noticed the pool vacuum wasn't running normally so I popped it in service mode, then when I turned it on the valves were switching to spa mode upon start up. I checked the app and saw spa mode was on so I turned it off...

After a heavy rain my pool water is sitting above the overflow so it appears to be backed up. Is there a DIY way to clear the drain? Thank you
