Hey pool pros, I'm sure everyone's feeling the pinch just like we are. What are you doing to help mitigate or address price increases for gasoline, chemicals, parts, supplies, etc? Anything? Nothing? Anyone going up on their prices for delivering weekly pool service to customer's backyards? Our gas bill alone has gone up significantly. Thx!
Picked up a new pool with a Jandi JXI-260N heater. Bits of black crusty metal are spitting out the pool returns. Heater still works, but I suspect it's not long for this life. I'm guessing it needs a new heat exchanger.
I can hold my own when it comes to repairing gas pool heaters, but replacing a heat exchanger is new to me.
I see where I can buy a replacement heat exchanger. Is replacing this heat exchanger a reasonable repair to make? Anything I should know before I get started?
Are there any other parts I should expect to replace or may need to be prepared to replace while I'm in there?
Thanks in advance.
Customer wants me to replace their old erosion type chlorinator with a Hayward salt cell. They currently have a Hayward OmniPL automation panel (with no salt cell). What's needed to upgrade this panel? I assume it's going to need a power supply? Or a complete AquaRite sub panel? Just getting started on this. Thanks in advance!!
