    Variable speed pump heater automation

    This is contradictory to all I've read. Water sitting in a heat exchanger at high temperatures is way worse than more less warm water coming in. Which takes on heat better. I've already noticed less usage on my energy company app after running my pump at a higher speed. My heater is an older...

    Variable speed pump heater automation

    Recent I purchased an IntelliFlo3 VSF. This thing is absolutely amazing and efficient. However, I learned real quick that heating at low speed caused my heater to run WAYYYY longer than normal.

    suction/pressure wall fittings

    I guess that would be a possibility, so you're saying by looking at them from the inside, you could tell enough to determine how it's probably done on the outside? I have a lot of plumbing buddies. I'll see if I can borrow a camera. thanks for the idea

    Pool Reno....

    i noticed you said sand blasted to remove the paint. was it epoxy painted before? i am getting almost as much work done as you next year, but im not getting it sandblasted. i have thought about it though. its just that the sand blasting alone is another 2-3k PLUS that makes the resurface job...
