Gotcha! Makes a million more cents! Thanks again.

What are terminals 5-8 for? - - - Updated - - - And thank you for the replies Bama!

Should be this guy: http://www.intermatic.com/Products/TimeSwitches/MechanicalSwitches/24Hour/T170T1400T1800Series/T1472BR.aspx I need specifics on how to wire this between the sub panel and the pump.

Alright Trouble Free Poolers, I have recently purchased a hot tub and re-run the wire run to accommodate the purchase. There is a new sub panel with a 50amp GFCI and I'm going to put a 20amp breaker in for the pool pump. The pump is wired for 240v and I have an Intermatic T1470 timer that I...

Wish I knew more about that stuff. I am going to hold off on putting an SWCG in. I just added salt to my pool for feel. I plan to keep it around 2000ppm and haven't been in yet (maybe this weekend) but can tell just by touch that the water feels AMAZING!

Thanks Jason. I remember reading that now. I should probably go back and revisit pool school articles just as a refresher, (though I have read it three complete times) there is so much in there I am sure I have forgotten a lot.

Done! :whoot: Tested my pool last night and I have completed the shock cycle. Pool looks amazing and feels great, though I haven’t been in yet, I just know by touching the water! Here are my test results: FC 12.5 (letting this fall to the 4 – 8 range) CC 0 PH 7.5 TA 110 (This is a...

No takers huh?

Alright short progress report to start. Pool is super clean! I have raised the salt level to around 1100ppm and plan to raise it to around 2000ppm. Last night FC was 25.5 with 0 CC. Added 182oz of 6% bleach to raise FC to 29.6 (where I have held it for about a week). This morning the pool...

What should my water level be in regard to my skimmer? I think I may have my level a litle high.

I do have a vacuum that goes to the skimmer with a skimmer plate. I have vacuumed through the filter a couple times. I have not vacuumed to waste yet. I do have brown powdery spots on the shallow end. Last night I shut the filter off entirely over night to see what happened, and this morning...

I am a little skeptical on my CYA results. I have done it three times now and gotten 50, 50 and 60, but when is "can't see" "can't see"? Am I trying too hard to make it disappear, or does the test really want me to make the dot impossible to see?

Yeah, I am guessing it was premature to come out of shock. I thought since I had passed the OCLT consistently I was in the clear, but I guess not...

Ok TFP, Tomorrow will be two weeks since starting to get my pool in shape (see earlier pics). I still cannot see the MD in the deep end. The water is blue, but not clear. There are patches of what looks brown on the steps in the shallow end. After maintaining FC at >20ppm for almost a week...
