    For "Sale": Sacrificial Anode and SpeedStir

    Thanks! For some reason I didn't get an email about the PM, but I did about this thread. Replied!

    For "Sale": Sacrificial Anode and SpeedStir

    Thanks, @PoolGate. I'm in no rush to get back into another project at the moment. I'm already slowly working through the rest of my thirty-year-old house, trying to update it. :D Anode is still available!

    For "Sale": Sacrificial Anode and SpeedStir

    Thanks, @kimkats ! Anode kit is back on the market. SpeedStir is still pending sale sold. I was not home! I was out of town seeing family and got a call from a neighbor. He very kindly turned off the switch to the pool pump, which I still had scheduled to run with the now-destroyed...

    For "Sale": Sacrificial Anode and SpeedStir

    For the curious, here's what I meant by mother nature closing my pool. Three mature oaks came down in a storm in June 2017. Took out my equipment pad, the pool deck, and cracked the pool basin. I could have had insurance replace the whole thing, but it just wasn't worth it to me. So that...

    For "Sale": Sacrificial Anode and SpeedStir

    "Sale" is in quotes because I'm only looking for the cost of shipping. These have been just sitting around since mother nature permanently closed my pool back in summer 2017. Post up, shoot me a PM, and I'll respond with my PayPal. Mods, let me know if I'm doing this wrong! SOLD. The Anode...

    Equipment Rework: New filter and re-plumb

    Yeah, I want a waste capability for actually closing the pool, as well. So I'll put a Jandy 3-way just after the pump. That way pumping to waste will be easy. Thanks! EDIT: Thinking over it, I didn't grasp the suggestion for a bypass at the first. But it makes sense to have the ability to...

    Equipment Rework: New filter and re-plumb

    Good point. I've seen that around on the forums here. Though with my filter coming apart as it is, I'd probably blow the multi-port clean off once the pressure got up. :D When I switch to a cartridge filter, I'll probably look to prime it with just a bit of Purifiber. Yeah, drat. This is...

    Equipment Rework: New filter and re-plumb

    Background first: my house is 28 years old and I've owned it for a year as of this past week. The pool is Gunnite with plaster finish (I think), original to the house, and I'm not sure how to describe the shape of it. Coffin-shaped? :) The pool has one skimmer and one main drain. The...

    Eidolon: New from Raleigh, NC

    Glad to be signing up for this forum. I've looked around and there's a LOT of good knowledge, here. I purchased my home and with it my pool a year ago as of just yesterday. Last year the equipment worked well enough and with a basic chlorine test kit (probably just TC), I was able to keep the...
