The area evaporation rate should be similar in a bucket to a large pool surface. as long as they are getting similar wind and sun. Your conclusion is incorrect
Most pools are armed, proceed with caution.
How many rounds does it take to FIRE up the pool and shoot the water in a different direction?
Extremely helpful, came for good explanation and left with it. I do wish I had more of an automatic way of doing this as when switching valves my pump trips, thanks to being vs +svrs. I am sure the previous owner got suckered into buying this pump not realizing it wasn't needed for residential here in Cali. Also my jets seem very underpowered as far as pushing debris to skimmer. In fact, the return jet furthest from the pump gets nothing coming out.
Thank you GREAT explanation
And remember guys whenever you manipulate a pool/spa combination be sure to carry your firearm because it can attract all kind of weird people !
Great info
For ease of homeowner and service technician use, pipes should be labeled. Also, a pool/spa combo should be automated.
As in case of Jan 2024 cold snap ..that went on for 4 days. Shutting the system would cause the pool to freeze over...any concerns with that? Damage to the walls..pressure built up...i feel like u fail to address that result
Thanks for distracting from pool care with your gun dude. Were you anticipating having to defend yourself during the video? Thumbs fucking down.
Dude most helpful video and explanation ever!
How often do you replace the filters or in other words how many times can you clean it with a 1500 psi pressure washer before you replace it? Thanks for making this video.
Just did mine today took about 1.5 hours but I use a 2300psi pressure washer with the 15% tip my filters are almost new lol.
Hi, at 1:45 you refer to the Main Drain/Spa Draw, which is a single pipe. I have a very basic spa and pool combination but it has separate main and spa drains, plus the skimmer and each have individual ball valves. This allows me to empty the spa for cleaning. I don't understand how the main drain and spa drain can be combined with no apparent means of selecting either. Can you clarify please?
My inground pool was installed in 1976 . I’ve been taking care of it for over 30 years . I’ve never heard the term “sump” around a pool ?
What the fuck's the deal with the gun?
Where do you service that you carry a gun at?
Im in and out of a 200 mile raidus of the DFW metroplex. I have ran into many more diamondback rattlesnakes and other unsavory creatures than people. Nice to think ill have a chance to live another day to put in another pool....make another video
How do you cancel a “Timer”? I have four “Timers” programmed on my Hayward and I want to bring it down to only two timers.
Just go into the timer setting and select "off" and then "save"
I have a pool that was installed in 2019 with all of this Jandy equipment with no blower. My spa used to blow bubbles but has recently stopped producing bubbles. Any idea why this happened?
Hi gunner0322. If you have a spa system with no blower, you likely have a venturi system with draws in air as the water is flowing through the jets. This is usually fed through inlets at the top of the spa. These often times look like small circular discs on the top rim of the spa. Regardless of where exactly they are located, if these air inlets become clogged with any debris (such as organics, dirt, etc) they will choke of the air inlet and reduce the amount of air introduced to the jets when flowing. The first place to start is to locate and confirm that these inlets are clean. Most venturi caps are removable and then cleaned out. Obstructions can be lodged at times due to the vacuum created in this design to feed air into the system. Give that a shot and let me know if it fixes your issue.
@@CrystalEdgePools thank you!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Is that the Barrier Reef coral sea lounger? If so is it the 31’ or 35’? We just ordered the 31’ your feedback would be appreciated!!! Thank you
Does this work with a 4 cartridge system that has a manifold at the top?
Yes, this will work for diagnosis. It is tougher on a 4 barrel system and the manifold would be removed during this test. Typically with 4 cartridge systems we recommend just replacing the cartridges rather than trying this test.
Thank you for filming this video! You were 100% correct! A clogged filter was my issue.This info was extremely useful. Thank you…
Great to hear!
Looks like we have a same problem. Pur heater wasn't kicking in due to low pressure when the pump was running at high speed. We removed the filter and ran the pump and heater worked We also have a cavity in the skimmer bucket, so it's clear that it's a bad filter. Ours is mostly due to the floc we did by not knowing it would affect the cartridge filter. :(
Im glad the video helped to narrow down the problem. There are far too many crooked or ignorant contractors/maintenance people who are more than happy to sell you parts and equipment when the problem is so simple. You bring up 2 very important points with your comment: 1. Everything in the pool water will go through the filter. Chemical additives can be hard on the filters construction depending on what they are. Floc is a product thats designed to clump heavy particulates together (such as dirt). Adding this to a flowing filter will clog the filter because of this. When adding floc-out to a body of water, it should be done while the pool is off and then left to sit for 8-24 hours to ensure that everything has gathered on the pool floor. When restarted, it should then be vacuumed out immediately and the filter removed and rinsed upon completion. When we do initial cleanouts after construction, we hook a hose up to the pump outlet and eject this heavy material right out of the pool. After we finish with removal, we then rehook the plumbing back up and filter the fine cleaning. (It should be noted that doing this process will drain the pool down because you are ejecting and not recirculating. We usually overfill the pool to the very top of the skimmer so that it ends up halfway down 'or at normal operating level' when we are done. We have removed an entire skid steer bucket of sand that was accidentally ddropped into the water with this method and never drained the pool during the process. We often times will be filling the pool while we are doing this process just to ensure that we do not lose too much water depending on how much dirt needs to be ejected) 2. Constant chemical additives should not be necessary for a properly designed and running system. We see these weekly "pool maintenace techs" over treating water constantly down here. Many times when we follow behind them we find out they are overchlorinating the pool, not cleaning filters and constantly "shocking" the pool (often times weekly or monthly). This is because (just like many people who can buy and push a lawnmower arent actually landscapers) most of these guys have bought a net and a vacuum and call themselves "techs". Whether on purpose, or through ignorance, they create a chemical soup for you to swim in because it provides a temporary appearance improvement and sells more chemicals on their weekly bill. Additives are necessary at times, but should never be a constant part of pool maintenance. The systems we construct for our customers keep their pools sparkling clear with no additives and 1 (or less) 3" chlorine tablet per week in 105+ degree temperatures. Im not saying you specifically are doing this, but im using the opportunity to warn people. Be wary of advice to keep adding chemicals constantly. You often dont need a change to the chemistry as much as a change to the system.
Great video, and love the 2A.....I moved into a home with a pool, and a spa a bit higher so it has a waterfall. I had the Hayward 2.7hp motor with the tall 72sqft DE filter, and it had 3 Jandy 3 way valves. It also has 2 other PVC tubes that are venting down. I dont know what those 2 tubes do, but one of them looks like its been there a long time, and the other has newer top connections, both with a 90 pointing down so nothing falls in I guess. I am able to get my pool do the bubbly therapeutic action without a blower, based on how I have the valves set. BUT, I have 2 of the jets of the spa acting as SUCTION! The spa also has 4 drains....2 drains on the foot wall of the spa, and 2 on the actual floor of the spa, ones that look like the main pool drain. I am not sure what they are doing. My pump was starting to act up, and I wanted to install a replacement heater (the one we got with the house doesnt work, a pretty old Raypak/Teledyne), so a friend gave me a more recent heater...., and so I hired a Pool guy to install the heater and a 3hp pump. Things look good, he did have to correct one of the things he plumbed. He didnt change the plumbing that I can tell, but now the spa does not bubble like before. I said it used to, though without the heater. Now I have a heater, but no strong jets like before. He said one of those tube exhausts was likely for a blower, but they stopped the suction from the spa drains and made the 2 jets being the suction for some reason. I am confused, BUT, the jets were strong enough to cause thrust action in the spa before(no blower, never even knew they used a blower). So fed up, as he keeps adding cost to the service, and I cant blame him, but I also cant be sure of what he is claiming. I'm not far from loading it with dirt and starting to plant and grow my own food!
Boy, im sure sorry to hear that! The pipes with the 90's are likely for venturi air (air introduced to the spa system through vacuum when the water is pumped through the jets at a high rate of speed). Many spas use this system and it usually works fine. We started adding blowers for 2 reasons: 1. On demand air through sealed plumbing 2. Venturis can get clogged at times Its hard to know how things have been plumbed after a pool is finished, and we can only hope it was done correctly. However, I have seen jets act as inlets on a spa to feed the venturi. I dont know if thats the problem on this, but it might be. Usually an air blower can be added to a system you are describing if it was plumbed correctly. They are relatively cheap and run off either 120 or 240 from your subpanel (depending on which blower you choose). Im not telling you to do this, but it can be an option. The rule for blower size is 1/4 hp for each jet (i.e. 6 jets= 1.5 hp blower). Should you elect to do this, it may fix your problrm, or it may not. I have to emphasize that because i do not know your pool plumbing i can only throw it out as an idea and cannot guarantee results, functionality or possible future problems on the system. One way i would try to determine validity of this approach would be to take a shop vac (with the hose on the blower side) and try to introduce air through your pipes. If you get the result you are looking for, you may consider a blower addition. Again though, because i cant verify how your spa was plumbed i can only throw it out there as an idea and not a suggestion. **Make sure the blower is mounted 1' above the water level of the spa when installed!!! Many people add them too low and not only will they not perform right, they can also receive water back up into the blower (even if they have a check valve)** Dont lose heart! Usually there is always a way to fix these problems!
@@CrystalEdgePools Thank you for the detailed response. Makes good sense. Will see how I go about it.
Can't believe for 3 years I was paying a company 175.00 to clean my filters.
I know........and alot of these guys are charging but not doing it (as you can see on our 4 cartridge cleaning video). Pool maintenance should be easy!
I sure wish "pentair" only had one filter cartridge. I have 4. I clean them , clean the pool, then in a couple of days, the psi, seems to rise up to nearly 30. Its starts at 10-15, but damn, it seems like im cleaning every week. Plus, the cartridges arent that old. Maybe about almost a year. What gives?
Hi KC6442. Pentair does actually make a 200 sq. ft. single cartridge filter (we used to install them when we gave pentair a shot over about 100 pools). Im not sure exactly why they are such a maintenance item for you on your pool without seeing it, but do remember that a cartridge is a sacrificial item that will wear out periodically. Usually when you have psi changes that often, you are simply coming to the end of their lifespan. Just like an oil filter on your car, it can only efficiently filter for so long. If you are having this problem with NEW cartridges, please respond and let me know further about your pool. There may be another issue.
@CrystalEdgePools thank you, sir, for this much needed knowledge. I'm a diy guy. But, I certainly appreciate it
FANTASTIC VIDEO
Thank you very much!
Hi @crystaledgepools, we have the PowerClean Tab Ultra, same setup as you have here. When we clean it out, put a few tabs in, and restart the pump (low setting on the chlorinator), it fills with about an inch or two of water and stays about that full for a few days. Then after a few days it fills all the way up to the lid. We can't find any documentation on whether this is normal or not. Should this fill all the way to the top or is there potentially something wrong w/ ours? Thanks!!
This is normal. No worries! Just make sure the gasket is good under the cap and snug (hand tight)
You’re an idiot if that’s a gun. I would recommend everybody not watch your videos any longer.
I have a pool with no spa. I have a skimmer and a bottom drain I have a basic Jandy diverter. How do I make sure I’m pulling from both equally if I want??
Start at the middle between the 2 and just ensure that the skimmer draws enough to keep top water debris going in
i’m only here because i fucked up my grandpas pool
Ok. How can i help?
Nice video very informative- It is better to be judge by 12 than to carried by 6, lol.
True story
What is the small 1" pipe for?
Im not sure what you are referring to.....can you be more specific?
Thank you so much. Everything you explained is exactly my problem and solution
You're welcome!
Bro making Glenn Heights sound nice. Lol😂
I’m a new pool owner and having flowing issues, I’ve cleaned my filters many times, seems like after I clean it it works fine sorta then I stop seeing the water moving, could this be my filter issue ?
Congratulations on being a new pool owner! Yes, its very likely. Over 75% of flow problems are filter related
what's the gun for ?
Authority
Proactive Protection. I also use seatbelts, lock my doors at night, keep my tires rotated, etc.
Great video .. thank you very much! How often do you recommend cleaning a pool filter like that?
Once a week if not landscaped around or alot of flying debris, once every 3 if not
You should have demonstrated "Lock Out Mode" so people can set Max Temp so no one can tamper with the heat settings.
Noted. We will cover in a future video. Thanks for the suggestion!
Pretty good explanation, and it is beyond most pool builders, but where are the automated valves?
Great point. Those are usually controlled through an app with an automation system. I will put together a video on that soon. We will set up a Jandy iaqualink and walk through JVA's. Thanks for the feedback!
This is crazy. A bucket test properly done _does_ tell you if you have a leak. Full stop.
I dont understand the need to comment. The video explains very clearly why and when it wouldnt apply. But because this seems to be such a hot button issue, let me just refer back to basic science classes.... a larger surface area exposed to wind will evaporate at a different rate than a smaller one. Ill take 900+ pool experience on that. Regardless of whether you agree with it, you still wont find chlorine occuring naturally around a pool. You are not helping anyone by arguing a scientific impossibilty. Keep on bucket testing to find pool leaks!
I don't know what is more weird. Cleaning pools in customers back yards with a hand gun in your pants- or working around a pool in sandals with socks.
Jurys out....
This is a great help!! Thank you so much! I do have a question though....why do you shut off the pump to put on the skimmer plate then turn the pump back on to attach the hose? Can't you just leave the pump on?
Yes, you can. I am just trying to suggest the easiest way
excellent
Many many thanks
My chlorinator, the same one you have in this video, is dribbling water inside the chlorinator instead of spraying the tablets with the knob on full go. Do these get clogged? Nobody has a video of what the cause is. Any advice?
Yes, they can get clogged. Disassemble it, check the spray nozzle and straw. Also check both sides of it where the quick disconnects attach. I recommend blowing everything out with compressed air and reassembling. All plastic, all easily disassembled/reassembled. ***Make sure you dont lose any gaskets!***
How many hours a day is the uv filter running for?
The uv should always be on when the pump is running. Its just light and very low power consumption. The only time they shut off is with a slow down of flow below the flow switch protection
Now this gent makes a lot of sense!
I have the exact same filter I have a problem that I’ve never had before. My filter always loosens up sometimes after a couple of days sometimes longer and sometimes sooner. Has anyone dealt with this issue, it’s a problem when I’m out of town.
Do you mean the collar joining the 2 halves, or a different part?
This is so perfect! Thank you!!! I agree NEVER shut off and it stays clean all year! Thanks for helping with the timers. Saving this video!!!
Happy to help!
Thank you. I seemed to do it right the first time after watching your video.
Great job!
