How a 15-Minute Virtual Pool Call Solved Jason’s Valve Confusion
At PoolTrouble.com, we love helping pool owners solve problems fast—without waiting days for an in-person service visit. Recently, Jason, a motivated pool DIY’er, booked a 15-minute virtual pool troubleshooting session to fix an issue with his Pentair pool equipment.
The Problem: Valve Confusion in Pool & Spa Mode
Jason was struggling to configure his manual valves correctly when switching between pool mode and spa mode. Even with experience, it can be tricky to know exactly which position the valves should be in to keep everything running smoothly.
Before the call, Jason uploaded pictures and videos of his equipment setup and described the issue in detail. This step allowed us to hit the ground running once we connected on Zoom.
The Solution: Fixed in 5 Minutes
Within just five minutes of the virtual call, we diagnosed the problem and showed Jason how to confidently set his valves for either pool or spa operation. What could have been a frustrating, days-long problem was solved in real time—no house visit required.
Extra Value: Discussing Pool Automation Upgrades
Since we wrapped up the valve fix so quickly, we spent the rest of the session addressing Jason’s bigger questions. He was curious about upgrading from his analog Intermatic timer to a Jandy automation system.
We walked him through:
✅ The pros and cons of pool automation
✅ Typical cost ranges
✅ How automation could make his pool/spa combo easier to manage
By the end, Jason not only solved his valve issue, but also gained the knowledge he needed to approach automation quotes with confidence.
