I noticed recently, some splotchy brownish discoloration at the base of my champagne spa. As far as I can tell, my water has been balanced, though I did let the pH rise to around 7.8 during the cold weather months in Florida. This gave me a CSI near zero but I’m concerned. I’m seeing scaling...

I was looking for an alternative to the Taylor CYA test, and ordered the blue Devil test. So far, I found this to be worse than the Taylor test. You need to use a lot of reagent for each test, the scale is not very informative, and I always seem to get a reading of 30 or 40, knowing I have more...

I would like to use device runtime for my spillover mode. I would set it to 20 minutes and use it after I run the champagne spa to spill over the hot water when I’m done. I set it up in the automation, but when I activate spillover mode in my automation “equipment” setting, it doesn’t turn off...

Hi, I tested my pool water yesterday with Taylor 2006Salt results as follows: Water 68 degrees FC 7.5 CC 0 pH 7.9 Salt by SWG 3300 Salt by Taylor 3400 TA 90 CYA 70 CH 290 Borates per calculation by amount added 37 I brought a sample to Leslie's (do not usually do this), as I wanted a second...

Over the last few weeks, I noticed on two occasions, first thing in the morning, that my pool pump did not start. When I opened the iAquaLink control panel, the LTS/comp breaker was tripped, partially, as if the GFCI reset button was pressed. After resetting the breaker, the pool pump started...

Is there a way to estimate gallons per minute based on the RPMs of the pump? My plumbing is 2 1/2 inch plastic tubing, there are three returns in the pool that are 3/4 of an inch openings. I am interested in this, because I have a manual bypass before the heater and the check valve after. I am...

I have three of these returns in my inground pool. They are not directional as far as I can see. Can someone identify them and tell me how to make them directional, or how they come out to change them? As usual, pool builder of no value after sale. Thanks, Jim

Does the water need to trickle over the top of my champagne spa to effectively exchange spa water when in pool mode? My pool builder originally set my filter pump to 2750 RPM x 9 hours. At this RPM, water trickles over all 4 sides of the spa. I have been experimenting with different pump RPM...

Any advice on adjusting my pool chemistry based on these numbers? FC 7.5 CC 0 pH 8.0. - I put 2-4 oz muriatic every day to lower this TA 80 TH 250 Salt 3000 Temperature 88 CYA 70 Water clear Jim

The pool builder set my Jandy filter pump to run at 2250 in pool heater mode and 3450 in spa mode/spa heater mode. They set the system to run at 2750 RPM from 9 AM to 6 PM and gave no further instruction. I have been experimenting with variable pump speeds to save electricity. I have been...

I am setting up a schedule for my variable speed, Jandy epump. The variable speed pump does not show up in the my devices list on the opening page of the non-web interface. When my schedule starts the variable speed pump, it does not show up on the start page as anything operating. Am I...

I have my filter pump scheduled to run 9 am to 6 pm at 2750 rpm as set up by pool installer. After several heavy rains, my salt level is down and I would like to add some. I will turn the SWG off after adding the salt. I have iAQuaLink automation. How would I set the pump to run overnight...

Last weekend, I had a heavy bather load so I used 2 bags of Leslie's Fresh N Clear non-chlorine shock. I have a SWG, pool installer set to 85% and left it at that when they abandoned me. My pool is about 5-6 weeks post fill. Today on testing, Free and combined chlorine by FAS-DPD is 9.2, had...

My pool is about 5 weeks from fill. The pool installer gave very little information and training and I have been using TFP for expert assistance. Could someone advise me on setting my heater bypass valve? Should I open it completely to the heater during seasons I use the heater for the pool...

My LSI: Water temp 89 pH -I try to keep at 8.2 TA 65 Calcium 250 CYA 80 Salt 3500 Cl 2.5 LSI= .03 I have to add muriatic acid every day to keep the pH at a point to which gives a favorable LSI. Are there any other factors I could adjust so as not to have to keep adding the muriatic acid?
