Thanks for the info n240. So you are saying that there is a possibility that the gas company might allow me to tap in to the gas before the regulator? So, can I assume that the gas is high pressure until it gets to my regulator? And then it is low pressure after the regulator? I know I...

ps0303, I can see that the line for the heater was tapped off of the house's hot water heater. So, it would be after the house regulator. But, the heater's manual shows that I would need 1" pipe for low pressure, single stage regulation. And, the pipe that is out by the pool heater, is...

Thank you both for your responses. ps0303, I was thinking that the 2 regulators were what could make it "high pressure". But it looks like you are saying that it would need to be "high pressure" at the meter, in order for me to use the chart I pasted. I will call the gas company tomorrow...

I am getting ready to install my 200,000 BTU heater and had a question on the regulator(s) I need to use. I have a natural gas line that goes right next to where the heater will be. It is 1/2" wrapped iron pipe. Since it is 1/2" pipe, from reading the manual, it looks like I need to go with...

Thank you for your response. The heater is being delivered tomorrow, so I hadn't seen the manual. I was just trying to figure out where I was going to put the unit. I did just go online and found a manual and a youtube video of the installation. Why do you think 200K BTU is small for my...

I have an inground pool (23,000 gallons) and just purchased a heater for it (Hayward Universal H-Series Low NOx Induced Draft Pool & Spa Heater | 200,000 BTU | Natural Gas | H200FDN). I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can help me with. I can't find anything stating where the...

Thank you!! That advice will save me a lot of time and money..

I am looking for some advice as to whether or not I should paint my pool. I am not sure if the surface is plaster or gunite, but there is a coating over the concrete. I finished acid washing the walls yesterday and they are nice and clean now. There doesn't appear to be any damage to the...

Thank you gwegan. I appreciate the links. The jbox on amazon is a nice price. I just purchased it and the mounting bracket. I appreciate your help.

Thank you everyone. I think I have all the information I was looking for and appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge with me. I understand what bdex is saying about skimping on a few bucks, so I am going to go with a 20A breaker in the sub-panel.. Please let me know if you see anything...

Thank you Gtemkin and Bama. I think I almost have gathered all of the knowledge I need to get this done.. But, a couple last things --- There is a metal ring on the back of the light. I was going to find something to secure the bonding wire to that ring. I will make sure that wire is...

Got it. So I am going to bond my pump, ladder and light. Do I actually need a lug to connect all of them to, or can I just run #8 from the light to the ladder, to the pump? Since the light is in the water, and I would be just wrapping the #8 around the back of the light, I imagine that will...
