The ones I've seen use a large metal L-bracket that is affixed to the ground behind the cover mid span and then extends out over the cover spindle to provide the support for the enclosure.

Just wanted to close out this thread with an update. I ended up needing to remove my pool solar panels to reroof in preparation for a solar PV install. I did the removal and install myself. Since I was reroofing I wasn't too gentle with the uninstall. Removing the panel clamps from the roof...

Thanks so much. It looks like it could be, but I haven't removed the clamp to see what the piece looks like inside. The website you linked to looks like a good resource for these parts. Turns out for unrelated reasons it looks like I need to have my roof replaced in the very near future so I...

Thanks for the response. Yeah unfortunately it is the reducer. When the system first comes on and the air is purging out of the system I can see bubbles coming out of where it is leaking. The white stuff on the breaker is from the thread paste they used instead of Teflon tape when they...

I have a smallish leak where my vacuum breaker screws in. Initially I thought it was just leaking past the threads but finally realized that the reducer where the breaker screws in is cracked. The reducer also appears to be glued into the elbow. How do I go about fixing this? I could cut out...

With aeration and evaporation scale is going to be the biggest issue. I might consider just using 1" spa tablets as they will help keep the pH down you won't have to manually add chlorine and acid as often. Change out the water monthly to keep the CH and CYA in check. The only concern with...

I experienced the same thing when I had the cooldown setting enabled and ended up disabling it. I noticed it when I manually turned on the pool circuit briefly to check out some equipment and then it wouldn't turn off. It took me a while to notice the DEL on the screen. I have solar as well...

Could there be galvanic corrosion going on due to dissimilar metals?

Yes, wholeheartedly agree hence my recommendation for a permanent solution. Thanks for being more explicit on the dangers

At our current house we have an autocover. We got it both for safety (have a 4 and 8 year old) and heat retention. The cover itself and the tracks are not the prettiest thing to look at especially compared to a pool full of water, but we made that compromise. I don't think the cover box on...

I am not an expert, but will reply to give the thread a bump. This is setup is not typical in the US at least in my experience. To address your main concern of water back flowing through your filter plumbing, you need to install a check valve in you filter plumbing. Since both pumps share the...

Depends on the meter. Our's is a smart meter and the display cycles through various parameters. One parameter is the instantaneous power draw shown down to a 10W resolution. If you have too rely on the power "odometer" it might not be accurate enough for a short term measurement. Our's only...

Instead of buying an expensive meter turn off all your breakers to your house except the pool pump then use your utility meter to measure the power.

Do you mean something like this:
