Sorry for the late reply, I got pulled into a bunch of stuff and for whatever reason never got any notifications. Sounds about right on points 1 and 2, thanks. I probably should have clarified on the last part, they are for Colorlogic LED lights, don't know why I missed adding that detail, heh.

Hi all, I've been thinking about upgrading from my single speed SP3220EE TriStar to the 950 Omni to save a bit of electricity and get some basic automation and had a few questions before pulling the trigger and doing a self install: It looks like it wouldn't require any plumbing changes for the...

That's pretty cool, so if I understand things right you're basically using one of these: CO2 regulator with solenoid valve plus one of these stenner injection check valves paired with one of these tees on the pool side (ignoring the safety flow switch stuff)? Price of tanks aside, that's a lot...

Ok cool thanks, I didn't know they came in different sizes. I'll look out for that and hopefully that'll fix my problem

I think this might work to just disable that head, but is there any chance it will be damaging to the rest of the system to leave it in all the time? Small Nozzle Pressure Test Plug with O-Ring

Hi all, I've been struggling with a small area of my deck paint flaking paint off and just yesterday a good sized piece of the cool deck texture fell off and I think it may be caused by one of my PV3 heads that's on the top most step blowing water into the underside of the deck on when it makes...

Last year I took the plunge and added borax to our pool this past July and I tested it last week for the first time since fall and it was reading 0 on my test. Thinking it could have been bad strips, I ordered brand new ones that came in today and they are still 0. We didn't have any super huge...

To follow up, I finally found more time and managed to clear the clog by plugging the side drain and running the hose drain blaster from the pump side. This wad about the size of a large rat came shooting out the floor drain! It was indeed several palm leaves as I had suspected - quarter for...

I'd like to get it working because it's an integral part of the in floor cleaning system that I paid for that was working wonderfully getting the material off of the floor (which in las vegas tends to be a lot) up until it plugged. I know for filtering makes no difference. I have a single...

Hope this all makes sense, I'm kind of at my wits end. It seems that my floor drain has plugged up something fierce, probably from the neighbors palm tree, and my in floor cleaning must have blown a big piece if debris down the drain. I first noticed that leaves and debris are instead getting...

If anyone is looking for a decent price on these, i've been using this one for $18. Flow Switch Assembly w/15-Feet Cable Replacement For Hayward Chlorine Generator GLX-FLO-RP . My last one only lasted about a year though before the flapper started sticking closed (showing flow with pump off)...

Yeah, no kidding. Thankfully what we fell in love with was the building layout and not the "finishes"

For a point of reference, my tap water (near the Las Vegas airport) is 450 when tested with my TF-100.

That the original owners dug a 5' hole to sink an above ground pool, and the "investors" that picked it up and sold it to us saw the hole as a free dumpster for construction debris including carpet and paint which they covered with a few inches of soil and sod. :mad: Thankfully our PB was...

Cool thanks

Thanks, I was going by what is in stock at my local store so I could replace quickly as we don't close our pool but I'll keep an eye out for the other ones in case the website is wrong. Any thoughts on why the old one blew up like that? Could it have been defective from the start and just...

So my 20 amp 2 pole GFCI breaker for my pump tripped earlier when the pump started up and I just had the opportunity to go out and reset it. After I reset the breaker, I hit the white "test GFCI" button and the breaker shot sparks with a loud pop causing the breaker in the main panel to trip...

Thanks, I guess I'll start with the capacitor and move from there as it's the least expensive and easiest to replace part

This has been bugging me for a few months, and i'm not sure what exactly the problem is. About once a week i've noticed that my pump trips the breaker on startup. It doesn't seem to happen on the same day of the week or anything, but when it does happen it trips the breaker immediately (no...

We have really hard water here (I tested the tap at 400) and as such my CH just keeps creeping but manageable by keeping everything else in balance to keep the CSI within acceptable ranges. I've recently tested my CH at 750 and it got me thinking, if the temperature increase from running the...

That's what I do and have had no issues. I do make sure to add the chlorine and acid at different areas of the pool to minimize the possibility of a reaction too

If it's a standard dropper bottle, the dropper tip pulls out if you pull on it or rock it a bit. It looks like a one piece bottle though. I use a tiny funnel to fill mine, a search for perfume funnel will get you what I'm talking about

I think wood would be better than pavers unless you go thick. When I had my intex I used 1" pavers and the weight of the legs cracked most in half

You can buy an actuator plus transformer and use it with a basic timer, no control system needed. I have JVA4440 actuators and they show how to hook them up that way right in the manual

Gotcha, so basically black + white moves in direction 1 and black + red moves in direction 2 while the internal toggle just makes it so B+W = direction 2 and B+R = direction 1 (and middle is nothing connected to bypass control basically) so you don't have to change it on the controller end or...

I picked up some JVA2440 actuators at a awesome price of $35 each (here if anyone is interested) to work on getting my pool automated but the cables they come with are too short for my needs and they don't have the toggle switch for synchronizing. I already have the replacement plug harness for...

Re: Pool heater "time to heat" and "cost to heat" calculations > I don't know if it holds true for everyone on natural gas but the guy from the gas company here that came to upgrade our meter told me that as a rule of thumb 100k BTUs/hour for any gas appliance = 1 Therm = $1 (for Las Vegas...

At least in my area, the people on Craigslist Free would take it within a few hours (they took my old Intex pool full of algae and with no equipment all bent up from dragging it as-is from the back to the front curb, half dead sod, bushes I had pulled out with a bobcat, etc). If you're going to...
