    Jandy Pro CS200

    It's time to replace the cartridge filter for my Jandy Pro Series Model # CS 200. Any recommendation for a good source for an OEM filter? Most of the reviews of the place I see are pretty bad. Thanks.

    Zodiac MX8 Elite

    I have a 4 plus year old Zodiac. In my last home it worked just fine at about 2800 rpm attached to one of the pool skimmers. We moved and the new house has a working dedicated suction line for the cleaner. The first time I tried the cleaner it moved slowly at 2450 rpm. I checked to make sure...

    Pump speed and duration

    I'm new to my current pool and was unsure how long the pump should be running. I have a Jandy Pro Series CS Filter, Pentair Superflo VST Variable Speed Pump and a 10,000 gallon pool. Currently the pump is set to run for 6 hours at 2550 and then another 7 hours at 3000. Any recommendations?

    Pool Skimmer basket problem

    I went away fo the weekend and nature picked that time to blow all the flower petals from my cherry tree into the pool. The skimmer baskets got so full that the suction pulled them beneath the support rings in the skimmer. I managed to retrieve them, clean everything out but the trim rings got...

Pool is now clear except for a little dirt that the vacuum cleans up which is more due to the pool being surrounded with dirt, mulch, trees etc. I've been slamming for a week and here are this morning's numbers. Total Chlorine 12.8 Combined Chlorine...
