I had the TC installed in November of last year, and now i see no chlorine production. Jandy rep says if phosphates are high it wont produce? We had lots and lots of rain this winter so I had to drain pool often, but i added back salt (as well as other chemicals). Current levels: Salt 3000...

this seems to be an ongoing problem for me.... over the years I've upgraded pump, boards, disconnected the spa-side and inside controllers, and despite running great for 6 or 7 months now today I get the dreaded 'epump offline' error. Not sure what to do from here.... any ideas? The odd thing...

My MX8 Elite isn't running like it should. Two years ago I bought the rebuild kit, and that fixed it up nice, but lately it runs slow and get's caught on the smallest thing. I have good flow, and recently cleaned my filters and baskets, so I am confident that that part is fine. I just removed...

Hello all you smart pool people. This post is related to a similar thread i posted some months back about my cleaner not working well. It never really was resolved. But lately its been even worse, and today I biught a new cleaner, but had the sMe result. So i opened up the big filter container...

I've posted about this several times over the years, but it's happening again. I flipped the breakers, reset the controller, still nothing. I opened up the crontroller to see if there was anything causing a short, but couldn't find anything that looked wrong or out of place. Everything's...

My jandy mx8 elite hasn't been cleaning like I'd like, so after inspection i needed a new A side gearbox, treads, and the little scrubber thingies. I changed the all out, but now there's not enough suction to run it well, and it barely moves. My filter PSI is about 18-19, and i notice that the...

Hello all, just yesterday I noticed this error (Jandy epump offline). I'm not much of an electrical guy, but after some forum searches I'm thinking that there's a connection issue between the controller and the pump. I have been meaning to replace the orings on one of my valves that is above...

My pool deck, which is really just a continuation of my patio, is a about 15 years old and we'd like to stain it to bring it back to life. I'm thinking about a translucent acid stain, but I dont want it to seal the concrete and make it potentially slippery. Has anyone done this and do you have...

One side works fine, the other has a small crack. But as a test I switched ends of the AP and the union (I think that's what it's called) seemed to fit ok. Should I replace the one union? How is that done, and where do I get a replacement part?

I believe I need to replace my air temperature sensor, or possibly recalibrate it on my Jandy system. Until I can do one of those things, does anyone know how to disable the freeze protect mode? It's been cold mornings lately, but not lower than 38F so I'm not too worried about actual freezing.

So a few days ago my daughter wanted to go into the spa. I fired it all up and the heater fan was running but after a while I realized that it tried to ignite but wouldn't stay lit. My system is about 13 years old now... FYI. I've been researching this problem here and elsewhere and it seemed...

Afterward the controller inside the house was showing only "FIRMWARE B12". After reading a few posts here i rebooted the system and now all is well!

My SWG is telling me it needs service but no code... FC is 2, so i dont think it's generating chlorine. Idea's?

My cell is 3 or 4 years old, but giving me code 120. I know that's low current, but in searching the forums it sounds like it could be other things too. For instance: My water temp is 56, seems like 60 is min to operate. Salt is low, only 2600, so I'll add salt using pool math. What do you...

It seems like there should be a more accurate method of pH than the little daily test kit. I have the TF-100 test kit, and maybe I'm using it wrong, but it seems to me to be a lot of guesswork.

Hello experts! My 12 year old vac lock broke. I am having trouble removing the old one. I think if I had a 1.5 inch easy out I could get it. I've tried gently tapping with a long screwdriver but it wont budge. Ideas?

At a friend's house, and saw this in the pool. What is it, and how do you get rid of it? Is the pool safe to swim in?

My soap is about 1.5 feet above the pool, with three spillways. Everything runs fine, but after the pump shuts down sometimes the level in the spa drops too low and the pool is too full. Not sure what's going on or how to fix it. Thoughts?

Daughter came home from college and wants to use the spa. We haven't been using it much lately and—of course—when she turns it on it try's but won't fire up. I believe it's an LXI model about 12 years old. It's done this in the past, and I cleaned the skimmer filter and the pump filter and it...

Here in San Diego our utility is switching us over to a Time Of Use (TOU) plan. Using electricity (and I suppose natural gas) after 9pm and before 6am is the the cheapest time, so I'm wondering if there are any downsides to running my pump mostly at night and before 6am. I will still run it...

I just tested, and here are my results: pH=8.2 FC=12 drops=6ppm CC=42 drops=1025ppm (draining soon, waiting for service to scrub scale) TA=11 drops=110ppm CYA=30ppm salt (from sensor) 3500ppm water temp: 56ºF CSI=.86 [fill water CH=250ppm, TA=110] draining and filling will solve the salt, CH...

Ran my first TF100 test today. I've always suspected that my CH is high. The image shows my CH test with 32 drops of R-0012. Is that blue? It wouldn't get any bluer and would put my CH at 800. Thanks!

My salt sensor has gone bad, and i opened up the panel and shut off the breakers to see how involved replacing the sensor would be. I decided to call my pool guy so i closed it up and flipped on the breaker. But now the controller on the was says "firmware rev B12". But doesnt work. However...

I haven't posted in a while, but I checked my signature and I think all the relevant info is there... My pool has been great for years and has been easy to maintain. However, my CH is up to 550, and I'm pretty sure that it's because of the supply water mostly. I haven't refilled the pool in...

I have an 18k gallon SW in ground pool. I've had a slight algae problem for about a week now, and think I have the answer. My FC is 2, CYA 60. It's an outdoor pool, so I'm guessing I need to bring CYA up to about 70, maybe 80ppm, and FC to 4. How much CYA (dry, from Leslies) should I add...
