Thanks for the bonding info! Good to make sure I do it right. Possibly, my width is 5.5', and I'm just going to go ahead an add the extra couple of feet to make it 8' long. No sense in skimping out on another $100 of concrete. I bought the board and mount together. I got the SR Smith Salt Pool...

Yes, the pool is bonded. Its hard to make out in the picture, but there is a copper wire sticking up/wrapped around that piece of angle iron supporting the pool. It was "attached" to the old diving board jig. I was planning to reuse it and attach it to the new rebar and diving board jig. The...

Yeah, I left that part out, I dug out another 2 feet and set up forms to make it 8' long.

There, I fixed it. The board installation instructions just say I need a 4'x8' slab 6" thick of 3500+ PSI. I talked to my father, who has construction experience, but not a concrete expert, and he said for this job it really doesn't matter. I've already set up to anchor it all together. So I'll...

My inground pool is 30 years old, which had a 30 year old diving board. The base of the board was extremely rusted when I moved into the house 2 winters ago, and I took the board out because I didn't trust it. This spring I am working on putting in a new diving board. I didn't like the idea of...

So I just converted over my homemade automation to njsPC. One thing I am adding is a solenoid valve to control the water to the slide. With my old 1 speed pump and manual ball valve the kids would spray water all over the sidewalk because there was too much pressure. Still being cold, I haven't...

Well, after a bit, I understand your comment now. Honestly I didn't know njsPC existed. I started my project last year and found raspiPool...which hasn't been updated in a few years, so I wrote my own Java app. Anywho, I spent some time and got njsPC loaded on a spare Pi I have, and read through...

I bought my home a year and a half ago, so I've got 1 summer under my belt of managing my pool. I bought the house with a home warranty, where I put in a claim to get the pool heater fixed. Raypak 2100 ...installed back in the 90s I think. First off, let me say the warranty is a bunch of BS...

As someone who has rescued Racoons before, you're playing a losing game. If you can build it, they will find away around. Your best option is to set a trap, catch them, then release them somewhere FAR FAR away.

Well, I'm not actually using a 950, I'll update my original post to show that. I'm using a Super Pump VS 700. From what I can see, the RS485 is the only connection I can tap into, besides the relay controls. I'll post pictures in my OP. I'm all ears if I'm missing something where I can tap into...

Hey, I have found this subject on the interwebs in a few different place... Links deleted by Jim R. (New poster) However I haven't been able to find anywhere where someone was able to break down the communication protocol between the drive control module and the controller itself. I have been...
