In the picture of your wiring setup on that page you've got one of the legs disconnected, I'm assuming you'd connect it to the NO terminal? So it switches on when energized? And are the two black wires connected to COM and NO or NC a switched hot like how a lightswitch would work, or are they...

Seems like the way to go, thanks. Might be a good intro to get me started on trying to automate a solar valve to open when it's sunny and close when it's not too.

I've got an iChlor 15 plugged into a gfci outlet on its own 15 amp 120V circuit. My pool pump which is a single speed 240V pump is hooked up to a timer 104R which is powered by a 20 amp 2 pole gfci breaker. There are only 2 hots coming from the breaker, no neutral. I'll try to draw a diagram in...

It's attached to my house's ground as well as the pool pump motor, so it's not just dangling in space. I cut a section of straight pipe into it and ordered a replacement for $50, cuz why not if it's that cheap.

Yeah I don't trust this pool to be properly anything'd, but it was built that way by the original builder so *shrug* ... I also don't have what I need to plumb it back up without the anode there, because it's cut in with threaded fittings (unions?) and I... Well I guess I could go get 2...

So I've got 1.5" plumbing, with a sacrificial anode that's this exact thing: Sacrificial Zinc Anode - CMP Unfortunately the anode is missing a chunk so it rattles, and the plastic cover plate has cracked, and leaks at an alarming rate, so I need to replace it. Unfortunately it seems...

Random question, but how would you vacuum to a skimmer sock?

Done. Well, both my vacuum heads bristles are falling out so I hooked up my suction side cleaner and brushed the whole pool one more time. Gonna let it run all night and it doesn't look like anything's bleached out so that's good. Thanks!

So I did a dumb. Tried to predissolve 2 lbs stabilizer in a bucket to throw in my pool. Swirled it, thought it was nice and cloudy like the baking soda was, so I chucked it in, and of course, none of it was dissolved. I brushed for an hour but the whole pool still has granules all over it. How...

I'll give it a go, thanks.

I have a pool that fits the drawing below (16x32' Vinyl in-ground, not to scale). 2 returns on the stairs, and 1 in the pool. Where should I point the returns? right now the big jet is pointed toward the shallow end and rippling the surface and everything to the left of it stays stagnant. Should...
