I think I can pull it up but this particular model is totally sealed so you can't open it. I'm thinking maybe try to pull it up and cut the wire and take it to the control box to see if it's the cable shorting. I need to use the old cable to pull a new one if I replace.

Does anyone know what it means when all the LED'S on the spalink remote flash every few seconds? The readout is flashing something too at that time but the readout was going bad for years so it looks like a 8. There was water in the conduit which I tried to pump out the best I could and got the...

Thanks for the reply. I actually got both panels to come up after hitting the PCB reset a couple of times but the indoor panel locked up after I tried to re-enter the date setup. Couldn't get it to come up again. I have a feeling that the PCB board may have died on the communication side of the...

Hello, We just opened our pool and the Jandy RS8 is not communicating with either the indoor (indicates REV C) or spa controller. All service controls work at the main PCB but the indoor controller has all of the lights on and the spa controllers LED is flickering. I checked the indoor...

Did a rabbit chew thru your control cable? Happened to me once.

I know a lot of people will say you don't need it but I use 6 oz of Polyquat 60 algaecide per week as an insurance policy for my 20k gallon pool. If you are bumping up against the low CL level this will give you some breathing room. I have not had any algae blooms in years since doing this.

I burn 3ppm liquid chlorine per day with a CYA around 48. I have 20k gallon pool in Chicago suburbs. When I have the cover close I only burn 1ppm per day. I also aim for the high end or a little over of the CL/CYA chart.

Hello, Does anyone know where I can purchase these auto pool cover sliders? I had Pool Cover Pro's in the Midwest replace my original Coverstar cover so I'm not sure if they are Coverstar or different vendor replacement. The Coverstar version I see online don't have the notch out...

Pool putty around the skimmer face works well for those leaks. It costs 16 bucks on Amazon. That's where I have had leaks in the past after having someone come out and trouble shoot. It seems to last a couple of years in those spots and then I scrape it and re-apply. Might want to save for the...

Have a non-vinyl pool but my leaks have been around the skimmer plate. Buy some red die for detecting leaks in put a few drops in without the pumps on around the skimmer plate. A liner leak probably tougher to solve. I didn't see the earlier posts when I posted this originally . I did have my...

Get ready for sticker shock. I bought online to replace one your size and a loop loc III was $2500 and already had the anchors installed from the previous cover. Buy from a pool company distributor probably add another $1K.

I just put some liquid chlorine in my indoor tub once in awhile and let the jets run.

I need a filter to get rid of the Fluoride that the gov dumps in our water supply for mixed drinks. Nasty stuff, worked in research labs with fluorine gas for Excimer lasers. Any ideas for a filter for my Thermador fridge ice maker? Looked all over but doesn't look like you can get rid of it...

Hello All, We need to replace are old 15 year old Loop Loc cover solid cover with center window drain. What's the verdic on this new Loop Loc cover Ultra-III cover? We need the solid cover with drains because we have a wading pool with spill over that can't use the mesh otherwise it...

The speed stir is a must also in my opinion for the testing. Get the Tf100 and the stir you are set to do all the testing yourself and not reli on pool store testing

Not sure what the issue is but I program my spa's jets, blower and the spa to go on once a day to circulate chlorine thru all the pipes. I run in spa mode for 15 minutes, spa jets for 5 minutes and floor blower for one minute. May have stale water in the pipes is one thought.

Forgot to mention you probably should invest in a TF100 test kit that can measure the Chlorine levels accurately at high levels.

You can swim up to shock level and with a CYA of 60 it is 24 ppm. I wouldn't worry about it and let the sun bring it down.

Auto cover and my polaris 280. I havn't vacuumed my pool in 9 years..trouble free for sure.

Those boards are expensive use to be around 300-400 bucks.

The sun should burn it off pretty fast. It's been raining here constantly the last month so not much sun. My pool was 63 degrees this morning and I just started to try to heat it up a little for the weekend. The second I opened the auto cover the maple tree's started to dump the helicopter seeds...

I have a bucket outside in the shade under the roof eves for three years now. I use them in the spring to bring up the CYA and when we go on vacation.

Really need the pit for the cover installed at the same time you build your pool. I think ours was about $10.5k but that was 15 years ago. We replaced our Coverstar cover for about 1/3 of the price with a Automatic Pool Cover Inc. cover. They also sell complete systems. May want to check the...

Looking for pool math on the new site.

May consider some Mirage retractable roller screens for your french doors. Can keep both doors open and not worry about the bugs. We went with the heavier screens since we have two cats. They are pretty nice.

I had my pool fill a couple of times back up to the skimmer and after draining the pool back down I just used a cup to skim the water out of the skimmer. I bought some pool winterizer on amazon and added some more to the skimmer with an empty pool bottle also in there.

Better off going with a robot verses using the skimmer. I have a pressure side cleaner but a lot of members on here can give you advice on a robot.

All your numbers look good to me and personally I wouldn't mess with anything. I like my TA to be lower than what you have when I have my pool open.
