That was over 2 days. All the heat has gone now due to the rain, but come Monday should be nice and fine again :cool:

Your right the white pipe is 50mm PVC. The black pipe is just 13mm Irrigation tube, and lots of time. I've not got any assembly pictures, I dont normally remember to take photos at the right times. (Too busy in what I am normally doing at the time.) I'll go and get a close up of the interface at...

Hi All. Just thought I would share a couple of pix of my Solar collector that I have just finished building in the past few days as part of the plumbing upgrade that I have been working on. In the pic that shows it installed, it would seen that the collectors are hidden, but that is just the...

Its the way it was built 40 odd years ago. The old plumbing was ok, but that was a mix of 32mm, and 40mm PVC and plastic pipe. Im replacing the skimmer and upgrading the plumbing to 50mm where posible, as the filter can only take 40mm. Im also installing solar as well while Im at it. Im...

Thanks duraleigh. One thing that I did forget to mention was that the return is sometimes above the water line, so it could be easy for the water to drain out when the pool water gets a bit low.

Hi All I'm currenty redoing all the pipe work on the pool. I have a quick question. If the return from the Multiport to the pool eye is of an angle to allow the water to drain out of the pipe into the pool when the pump is off, will that cause the remaining water to drain back via the filter...

Duraleigh, im added in some cya powder a week ago and have been waiting for it to mix before testing, and now adding in a bit more to bring it up to about 40. JasonLoin, thanks for the feedback, ill raise the ta a few points and leave it there. Neil

Hi All Im getting my pool up and running again for our new season so still adjusting the water. However looking at the numbers the PH and TA are the same as they were 12 months ago when Inopened up the pool, and how I left them at the end of the season. Question is shoud I be worried and adjust...

Any other feedback before I start making concrete plans?

Most of the debree is just the general stuff that ends up in the pool. Leaves, bits of paper, pool toys and most things that keep floating, which is why I was not really being specific about it. Where would the returns best be placed? Top left and bottom right as in the pic, or somewhere else...

Hi All I hope that you are enjoying your swimming season. Its a bit too chilly here for swiming so I've been using the downtime to plan on installing a home made solar heater. And due to the skimer having a crack, and a suction leak, I've decided to replumb everything while I'm at it, but have...

BTW, what other products are suitable as I don't think that I can get HH-66 in New Zealand

Thanks for that. Should I be putting the patch on the small strip that it has pulled away from, or can I put the patch onto the hard (pvc type, not sure) plastic just above the liner? What is going through my mind at the moment (since your post) is to put a strip all way around the pool (its...

Hi All It's been a small while since I've been here, the advice here has been so good, I have not had too many issues getting the pool going this year and keeping it crystal clear. (Although the leaves and dust do there best to do there worst.) I here to ask some advice on the best course of...
