    Fiberglass Pool Overflow Drain?

    Pool is set and wondering if we should add an overflow drain to the pool. Anyone have a picture of how this looks? I thought I saw something at the back of a skimmer. PB thought of adding a eye with pvc running back out the hill

    Polaris 280 vs 3900

    From previous posts posts I searched was the 280 is the reliable workhorse. The pool store seems to think the 3900 has been updated and is the better purchase. With the current rebates. The 280 would be $495 vs $609 for the 3900. Anyone have the updated version of the 3900? Think for $100...

    IC20 not reading on intelitouch

    Fixed! I used the old spa remote wire that you can see in the pic just hanging. Now I am not limited to 20/40/60/80/100% on the cell and I see my salt reading.

    IC20 not reading on intelitouch

    Alright this might be a very simple problem. Is it me or are the data wires completely missing? I am not sure once I get the wires where to put them. I assume the open COM port in the bottom left?

    IC20 not reading on intelitouch

    Pool was installed 2006. I will double check the connections. The panel tells me no errors. 0 salt and shows the % output but any adjustment does not appear do do anything.

    SWG vs Bleach

    Does anyone have some specific details about a comparison? All I could find was 1 pound C12 gas = 1 gallon sodium hypochlorite = 1.5 pounds calcium Hypochlorite = 1.75 pounds dichlor = 1.15 pounds trichlor = 2.8 pounds lithium hypochlorite. Not sure how accurate this is but if I do a simple...

    IC20 not reading on intelitouch

    Just replaced to IC20 cell but it does not show data nor can i adjust the output level on the intelitouch pad. The cell is working. I don't think the old cell worked with the remote either. I see the wires going to the intelitouch control panel from the cell power supply outside. Can someone...

    Crystal clear water turned cloudy when pump kicked on

    It took most of the day running the pump for the pool to clear. Fired up the pump this morning and same issue, but I isolated to just the spa. It cleared in about an hour. Seems with the pool light on there are millions of tiny particles. I did notice my pressure relief valve is leaking on...

    New pool proj.Flagstoning around (and on) my fiberglass pool

    Re: New pool proj.Flagstoning around (and on) my fiberglass As for the lighting, code calls for it to be at least 10 ft from the pool edge. Any concerns with this? I am running a 600 watt transformer but don't know if I want or can have lights that close to the pool. I have Only 5 feet of...

    Spa draining water into pool

    I thought I should post an update. I had a pool guy come out, the actuator needed adjusting as it was not closing all the way while in pool mode. He said even with the check valve the was to much pressure allowing it to drain. In the first post picture above it was the actuator by the pump that...
