agent86 So the pipe you drill the holes in must be 1" or 3/4" , it must be 1"

Thank you, now I got it. Will try this summer here in Peru LAZ

What I do not quite understand is the large fitting at the the part that hooks up to the return is this for support and inside there is a threaded 11/2 fitting I marked the photo so you can see what I am referring to

Still thinking the situation out, I have one last issue more electrical regarding the SWG. Now one last thing my power at my rural site is 4 wire three phase 380/220 volt, the 4th wire is the neutral ground, to get 220 v you connect 1 phase (380v) to the neutral and you get 220v. , they use...

no was not a builder but since semi retiring have started bulding on my own. the house you see in Peru I built with a local crew in 6 months. all concrete block , one solid slab foundation one pour 12" deep and sides 24" deep uilt like granite. the whole house sits on it. all type V cement as we...

We did not bull dose all the way to the beach and really it was not sand dunes for the road to the house all the sand dunes are all untouched in front of the houses they are great protection from the wind. see this pictures when i built the road and the other two are the dunes on the beach...

that is the privilege of living in a third world country, 50 years (or more) ago you could do in the US no questions asked, look at all the old beach houses they are right on the water, even in Hawaii same thing

using sea water is not an option(it will be to hard on everything) when I get the SWG I will not be dumping the pool water very often . What i do have is well water I will get it analyzed it will be a bit brackish (not always) but probably have allot of nitrates and phosphates . if you look at...

thank you, i will get the 60,000

thank you it was really a real quite an experience building the home and pool as we had no power ythen and was one of the first homes on this beach had to use a bulldozer to knock down the dunes and level the area and build my own 300 ft foot road to get down to the beach here are some more...

I will look into that model. I have a big filter starite T-300BP-2, with a 2 hp pumpDuraGlass II StaRite PumpP4RA6G 188L, but will be changing that if I get the SWG will go with Iintelflo vs have never yet had the ocean water get to the pool, not much of tidal surge either the pol is about 11...

jblauert liquid chlorine is available at 8% $3 usd a gallon by the time we get it probably 7%, Trichlor tablets are $2 usd a Lb, i am going to check with the dealer here for 55 gallon drums but, i would probably need close to a drum a month. that would cost me $150 a month, the tabs cost me $40...

I think it is time to switch over to SWG I built this pool in 2002 it is about 32,000 gallons. all poured concrete one solid piece . all glass mosaic tile 2cm x 2 cm. It is right in front of the beach 40 meters from high tide mark on beach, get allot of wind in the afternoon from the SW (blows...

The reason I would get the speck is that the pool which it will run is really small 11,000 the pentair VF VS with 3HP motor is overkill for such a small pool. I am going to use a pentair in my other pool which about 32,000 gallons and is used year round, heavy bather traffic. It will, replace a...

Just a short question for Mark (mas985) Reading Hydraulics 101 where you mention having too high of a flow rate will reduce the life of the pump is this also true when you are running at lower speeds.(on variable speed pump) thank you LAZ
