“Turn the breakers back, turn the breakers back on!” Spectacular video guys! Laughed all the way through and my 13 yo daughter watched even though she’s not interested in fixing a temp sensor. Well done!! Wish you had more of these.
44k views and only 150 likes? WT heck? This was hysterical and I commend the effort. Sadly, I will not try this repair myself despite it being straightforward. Worth paying for the experienced tech IMO.
My temp sensor wiring went through conduit with silicone then to the Jandy box. Nice install, but there is no way to use it again. Rather than going through a rewiring of it all, can I just splice the wiring from the old install onto the new install? I was thinking of using a sprinkler wire grease cap to protect the wires from corrosion. But it just seems so much easier. No one mentions this, so wondering if this would be a problem.
You shouldn't have a problem splicing the wire with your existing wire as you mentioned. The sensor failure typically happens in the probe itself, so using your existing wire should not present any problems, unless your existing wire is very very long.
@@PoolGuySupply Thanks for the reply. Since I will be using the existing wire, the length will be the same, just a few more inches added at most. I will report back to inform how it went.
Success! It literally took me 3 minutes. Removed the old sensor, placed the new sensor, tightened it down. Spliced the existing wire with the new wire at the sensor site using small grey wire nuts. I will add a sprinkler wire grease cap once I get one at Home Depot so it doesn't corrode. Temperature is now accurate at 76 degrees. This method allowed me to avoid opening up the control box and rewiring.
Freeze protection turns the pump on when the air sensor reads the air temperature near freezing. So if your freeze protection is not engaging the filter pump, then the air sensor may not be reading the correct temperature, or the setting configuration may have freeze protection turned off.
Is there any way to test these air sensors before cold arrives? I believe the answer is no, they just fail. In the old copper styles we could simply expose them to a baggie of ice and it would activate, no so with the new type currently being used by all 3 major brands. Can't even test electrical conductivity.
because I'm a service tech trying to find an answer so I can get out of this 112° boiler room and go home and I just want my answer not to have to decipher and episode of sesame street
I was ready to have a melt down not understanding much of anything about my friggin non working pool I have spent a fortune on over the past year in repairs. No pool guys seem to really know what the heck they are doing either and American Home Shield, well, they don't deal with automation problems. Now it says "water sensor shorted" on top of everything else. I can't even get a handle on these damn valves. The Kreepy Krauly never has suction for more than a minute. Anyway, I found this video and if it weren't for the song making me laugh, I would probably be crying right now. So thanks you guys!
+Carisa Marion - 13 years as a pool tech and one thing I've learned is that American Home shield does not pay normal rates for parts or labor to pool companies so therefore only get a revolving door of inexperience. I could tell you nightmares all day long of my experiences with all home warranty companies. It may come in handy for other household needs but is wasted money on pool equipment.

Are you kidding , this is the best video in the history of RUclips. I've watched it three times... and I don't even have a hot tub!!
By now this should be a classic DIY hit !! Much enjoyed. Useful and entertaining.
I have been servicing pools for 18 yrs. Im speachless. Keep up the good work.

🥰 The audio to this video was satisfying. It put a smile on my face. Now I just want to listen to more songs lol. Great job gentlemen 🍻
My brother ( my repair guy) didn’t answer. So I found this. Bro I love you and thank you
Humorously helpful. Thanks for the video that helped with my pool problem and put a smile on my face.
This video narrative is awesome! Way to step out of the box. I laughed the entire time.
This is the best YT video I've ever seen. 100% solved my problem and super entertaining. THANK YOU!

Awesome!!!
I doing a chevy 350 engine rebuild. Do you have one for that?
Sorry, we specialize in the swimming pool industry, no car videos at this point. Glad you enjoyed the video though, thanks for watching!
This video gave me exactly what I needed - a laugh, and hope that I can fix my problem.
laughed all the way through it...made it fun! Great job!
And if the sensor leaks after installing? Is there a separate o-ring? Should I have used waterproof silicone caulk?
Solved! A) make sure pipe/hole area is clean and remove any old rubber/caulk and B) Like the Poolguy said, don't overtighten!
My pump is not coming on in freeze mode, and my solar sensor has shorted. Could the solar sensor be the problem or would it say water sensor shorted?

I think I learn better this way! Well done! I'm sure I'll be singing this song while I'm replacing the wire :)
"PAAAANEL door!!" Dude, I have no idea why anyone would thumbs down this. Honestly, none. Do they hate fun?

@@megazordz Yeah, but: "Paaaaaanel door!"
This is a work of art
Why do the singing instructions somehow make this whole process seem extremely easy?
Minute 1: Dafuq is this ish?
Minute 4: This is the greatest video ever
What a find this video was, bravo!

For all of you who gave this a thumbs down....your lives must totally suck. Get over yourselves. The information is there. It's funny.
