This is some great information here. Thanks guys.

Tex, How do you like that sediment filter on top of the pump? Does it work? My local pool store has a few and the owner said he'd hook me up.... this tells me he's not selling them very often LOL. I don't know enough about them... my biggest concern is, do they restrict flow... I am all about...

I love looking at all this plumbing. Gives me all kinds of ideas on how NOT to do plumbing... LOL. I am very anti 90* elbow.

What about for Hanna's BL122 unit meant for pools? Is there a way to get around the issue with CYA?

What's with the two pumps on the right? One draws from two sources and returns on a smaller diameter pipe? The pump on the right also has smaller diameter returns than the feed? Just curious, not saying WTF. haha.

I have completed the pfizer treatment. no issues. was a bit sore at injection like everyone always says. first shot I'd say I felt more 'side affects' than the seconds shot. BUT I took the day off, so I was maybe more "in tune" with every little thing that seemed different than a normal day...

I've been looking at the VOLT stuff. Looks great! I read on a FB group that they're the premier lighting company. They use the WAGO wire clips. I buy these on Amazon and use them when working on new electrical at the home. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. I can't wait to play with landscape...

SWEET! I saw when your thread started, so cool to see it coming along. I love your fence! I know my wife would too! haha. Congrats, looking forward to seeing pics of it in use!

when we were renting "the pool house" I found TFP. I smashed the tablet floater.... next service, there was a new one, I smashed it again and left the pieces out for the pool kid to find. no more tabs. After a couple months the pool company changed. I was locking the timer box. I had set the...

Welcome to TFP! Be sure to share your build along the way. I personally love watching the build threads! Gives people ideas and a good look into how it all goes together.

Welcome to TFP! I am semi local to you, I am out in Riverside. You'll find all kinds of help here. I had to let out a good laugh when you mentioned your wife's lack of interest in helping. You should learn some stuff, and then bait her with some crazy chem logic. "well I am going to add this...

Welcome Rob. Former Chicagoan here, living in socal. I can't answer your question, but I can say GO HAWKS!

Welcome to TFP! This has been my routine.... I've done it three times. new-to-me pool, new water. Test it, see where things are, maybe you don't need to drain it all the way down... But I would plan to. Things to consider, is your pool in an area with a high water table, will the pool float if...

i don't have a spa... but i had an issue where my return blew bubbles.... this was caused from a cracked pipe in the IFCS. I had a leaking jandy valve and cracked pipe. the cracked pipe let the water drain out of the pipes above pool level.... this exposed the jandy valve to air, if the pump was...

I have been looking at the Atlas Scientific stuff. They have a good layout for a DIY PH doser using arduino. They even sell a pool specific setup. It's more for monitoring, but I think someone can se the data to make an auduino spit out acid or chlorine.

To sell you chems.... more chems, more monies, more better.

I use them in all my new wiring at my new (to us- Built in 1972) house. I have the two, three and five wire versions. I've had experience with them at work in some of the industrial equipment my previous employer had. Just try to use the same number of openings as you have wires for. I suppose...

The pool cleaner all the way. Mind you, it keeps the bottom clean of stuff by sucking things up.... it isn't a brushing scrubbing machine. That is your job. Pool cleaner with a catch basket/net. inline so your pump doesn't fill up with stuff. If you have a long pool, buy the four wheel...

Here are the final photos....

OK, so we've been in the home for a little over three months now. Since my last post, I have done the following: Connected the pump to WiFi... long story involving that mess..... Replaced the skimmer basket filter and floating weir Replaced the "space ship" or the diverter valve that sits at...
