I just checked the app and the update came through. You can now change the freeze protection temperature.

I know this a year old thread but thought I would share my experience with this. I have a 2.7 jandy vs pump and the iqpump01 controller Installed fall 2022. I was concerned about the freeze protection as we had some really cold( 1* f) temperatures. The freeze protection didn’t come on till it...

I’m sure I can. But I can also get just the fines dust with no gravel. It sure packs good but probably doesn’t allow water to move or drain very well. So about 1/4 -3/8 works best. Thanks Shannon

How about crusher run with only the fines, basically limestone dust for the sides?

#89 for the base and #57 for the backfill?

Definitely using gravel instead of sand for base and backfill. Two skimmer and four returns is what I’m going with. Thanks a bunch. Shannon

So tee right off the manifold to two 1.5 lines each serving their respective pair of jets at each steps end and 2 skimmers. Gotcha. I am looking at 2” headers for the solar panels. I’m not familiar with the equalizer, what’s that?

Here is the dolphin

I should have mentioned this pool has full width steps at both ends, I’m planning two returns on each set of steps. I can’t disagree with two skimmers but I’m trying to keep the flow up with 2” supply lines since I would have a fair amount of restriction with pumping vertically 14’ to the solar...

My bad, the side 2 supply is only an additional 50’ not 75.

Hi folks, I’m planning a San Juan pools 14x33 11500 gallon dolphin pool and could use suggestions from all you experts. I actually built a liner in ground pool, with a little help from some friends, about 15 years ago but I think there have been some advancements in tech and methods. I will be...

Thanks for the replies. This is exactly the kind of first hand experience I was looking for. Jerryt it sounds like you are not exactly in love with your hotspot. Linen I did type in hotspot in the search but saw no threads where someone who actually has one chimed in, only opinions of if they...

Greetings all, I just bought a house that has a 18x36 vinyl in ground pool in the backyard facing due north. I am trying to decide on how to heat this pool. My previous pool had 8'x20' (total area) solar panels which worked ok except for the after the 6th year or so they started springing...

So, I had my swg on superchlorinate for the last five hours. My fc went up to 17.5. I took the cover off, vacuumed the bottom because of some worms and the brown stuff, brushed every nook and cranny, backwashed, rinsed, added bleach to bring fc up to 35 and turned swg off. I think that there...
