The Intermatic P153 digital timer seems fairly nice regarding the modes it allows you to set up across 3 independent circuits. Not sure how it compares to the T-106 though.

No particular reason other, was just curious if I could. To me it looks like I can simply wire one line (plug) to each of the terminal points #3 and #4 however, seeking advise from others way more advanced than me :) I could simply flip the switch every day or as needed but figured I would like...

Hello everyone, Have a question. I just purchased a new Hayward SP15922S Power-Flo Matrix 120v 2 speed pump. I am wondering if I can use 2 plugs instead of the 1 to control the 2 speeds from my Intermatic PE153 Digital Timer. See attached picture for pump wiring diagram. Thanks again for...

Hello kookookachoo! I keep around 8 jugs of 8.25% bleach in the garage. When I get low, wallyworld is 5 minutes away.

Update, Hurricane Pool Cover was very simple to install. Solicit wife to hold bags while I dumped pea gravel all over her (intentionally)... Ok, no really, she held the bags while we used pea gravel instead of sand (was recommended on the website). Father-in-law came down to help with pool...

I just purchased the Hurricane cover to use when closing the pool this year. What I can tell you is that the cover is extremely heavy duty, much thicker than the "normal" pool covers I have bought in the past and what is typically sold in pool stores. It will take 2 or more of us to put it on...

I would suggest turning the 2x4's on the short side as they will be able to support more weight than if lying on the flat side. Can't say if this is a good thing to do, hopefully others will chime in to assist. -Marvin

I received my new Hurricane Pool Cover a few weeks ago, looks to be built very well. It is an extremely heavy duty cover. Time will tell if it holds up well. -Marvin

All, I have recently purchased the "Hurricane Above Ground Pool Cover" due to the excessive winds that pass through my back yard. Previous to this purchase I along with my neighbors simply shell out the $60-$90 or so dollars and replace the standard pool cover every year due to rips/tears, and...

PrivatePilot, It has been just over a month since you posted this pretty cool DIY project. Would you mind sharing how it is holding up? Is the rubber diaphragm showing any signs of wear due to chlorine exposure? Thanks for sharing! Marvin

What are the odds of it being bat poop? A quick search on the Internet shows similar droppings associated with bats.... Let us all know what you find. -Marvin

Bummer, I was hoping it would have been beneficial for our pool use.... Now, just out of curiosity I will ask my friend what he sells it for. v/r, Marvin

Has anyone heard of and or used this product for pool chlorination? A friend of mine who owns a well drilling company mentioned it to me, kind of peaked my interest. v/r, Marvin
