I appreciate the OP for asking the question. I have a upstream Stenner setup leftover after my conversion to SWG and thought about using it for acid. With water flowing at 25 gpm and the Stenner trickling diluted acid it is kind of like someone peeing in a river a mile upstream, can’t imagine...

Most likely nothing special about those fittings other than the convenience. Good luck 👍

Might be able to use something like THIS.

For me it was kind of a wash, what pushed me over the edge was liquid chlorine prices and scarcity recently. Turns out that a few seasons of liquid chlorine use meant that I didn’t have to buy any salt. I went with a circupool diy and would highly recommend it. They have a 7 year limited...

Looks amazing, love the setup. Maybe it’s the fisheye view, but there don’t seem to be many control joints in the concrete.

Air temp 55, pool 88 😍 I love morning swims

Maybe that’s why I have trouble with tri tip in the smoker. Some cuts just need a grill 😄👍 I’m still going to try the reverse sear though, so thanks again for the tips

I appreciate the info, I can’t wait to try a reverse sear like that. What do you think about a little lower temp and a little longer smoke to up the flavor and crust? I’m definitely going to go for that “flare up” sear technique.

Digging this, haven’t found a tri tip recipe I liked with the traeger yet. Ballpark, how long did it take to get to 115 at 225?

Smoked my first brisket.

Looks amazing, where abouts in Ohio?

I just did a quick google search for Heliocol parts so I’m not vouching for the site. I’m also not sure if diy will void the warranty. Might call just to see what it would cost to have a dealer uninstall and reinstall. Good luck 👍

I’d look around online and find the adapter, proprietary stuff can be expensive, but so can a leak 😄 Is this it?

There are bonding lugs that are plumbed into the pvc lines with a tee. I just went through that. 😅 HERE

The edge40 is kinda basic, it only has a low salt light that didn’t come on

Yes, been TFPing for a while now 🤭

Yeah totally! Splash out and there it is. I installed a circupool edge40 today. The instructions said if installed with a vsp, wire it with constant power and rely on the flow switch to activate it. 🤨 Instead I installed it to be switched with the pump as it makes me feel safer. I was pumped to...

Well got my test kit today…. 4.5 seasons on liquid chlorine and was eagerly counting drops. Thought “made it to 5 sweet, nice head start at 1000ppm” then 10, then 15 and I was so relieved I would only need a little salt. But wait 🤣 it kept going all the way to 22 drops (4400 ppm) right on the...

I appreciate the well wishes 🙏 definitely looking forward to it. Wife reminded me we have done 5 seasons without salt 😬🤣 Thanks to JamesW I can tell her that isn’t true

Yes it is a diy, on our last pool I installed a Jandy ei or something. I picked up a Circupool edge40 mostly because space is tight and the RJ is a bit longer. The RJ45 would have been close and force me to cut my pvc pipe right next to the concrete. I appreciate the advice about adding the...

Appreciate the replies 😄👍 I will be interested to see how much salt is already in there. I’d guess I have put over 500 gallons over the years. Now minus splash out for 3 kids, most likely back down to 10ppm 🤣

Prepping a SWG installation for next week. I have a taylor salt kit on order to check level before I add salt. I have used bleach for 5-6 years and from my limited understanding that adds “salt,” but is it the correct salt? Will I need to drain and refill? If so I would definitely have to wait...

Solar can be intimidating. There are many factors to consider to make sure that it makes fiscal sense. One thing you mentioned was trying to have no electric bill. This is usually not the most cost effective goal. I would suggest researching how your power company handles billing of net...

That number seems very low for a 9kw system. Similar latitude here with a smaller system and made 1400kwh last month. 🤔

I used this to convince the wife that we needed a SWG 🤭 don’t ask. I will definitely take a look since I will be replumbing anyway. 👍 The pool is 6 years old, and there really isn’t anything else that piece could have been. I was surprised how thin the metal was compared to pictures I have...

I appreciate the advice but the current location of the bond is definitely the easiest access even though it is under a little concrete. I also don’t want to lose the utility of the extra return.

Looking around, any idea why THIS one is black?

What a PITA 😄 I will be able to dig a hole and access it as it isn’t too far from the edge of the concrete. Now the question… is there a longer lasting alternative that will be plug and play?
