    Simple Automation for Pump, SWG, Lights

    Thank you Jim! That does seem simple enough. Does it matter which SWCG I choose? Any advantage to staying with Pentair? Last, I completely forgot that we do have a cleaner pump. Could I connect/control this as well via relay card or would that require something larger?

    Pentair TR60 or TR100 to Replace Hayward S270T

    Just finished a pool remodel (adding steps, pool liner and new equipment pad) and when I reinstalled our Hayward S270T sand filter it started leaking along the seam, just below the multi-port valve. I was going to just do a direct replacement but the more I've read, the more I'm thinking I...

The manual for the Pentair says that the inlet piping from elbow to the pump should be 5x the pipe diameter. I don't have that option as the old pump is close the exterior wall...

    IG Drop-In Steps - Manufacturer and Place to Buy

    I just recently purchase a home with an older in-ground vinyl pool (18x36) that has two ladders but no steps. I need to add steps to help some in the family access the pool. I've looked at more permanent steps but the pool has a brand-new liner so it seems that something drop-in might be best...
