    Wiring RJ-45 into existing junction box

    This box is Downstream from the timer, essentially it just acts as an extension back to the timer. I’m traveling this week but can pics of the timer when I return. It’s a single speed pump, and the timer is an old intermatic with the dial and screw on trippers that flip it on or off.

    Wiring RJ-45 into existing junction box

    Hello All— Looking at the pic I have included (and attempted to label) below, a couple of questions. I am preparing to install a SWG, the RJ-45 into my 22,000 gal fiberglass pool. Looking at the wiring situation, instead of the pump going directly to the timer it goes into the junction box...

    The olympics needs you!

    Not entirely true. I can turn my pool green by letting the PH get too high because of iron in the water. It looks pretty close to the kind of green show in the photos.

    Fill after resurface, clear Yellow/Green Water

    So, after a couple of days of filtering, and maintaining FC @2-4 and PH @7.2ish, the green color is completely gone. We are clear blue and sparkling. At one point a ring formed around the water level, but that was quickly dispatched with cheap Vitamin C tablets. We are excited to have our...

    Fill after resurface, clear Yellow/Green Water

    Last night we refilled our pool after a fiberglass resurfacing, this morning we added chlorine and very quickly the pool turned green. Water is clear green and we can see all the way to the main drain (See attached photo)It is a diving pool, so that is 9+ feet of water. Given that I don't...

    Replacement Weir door

    I have a busted weir (and frankly, a busted skimmer but I am getting as many years out of this thing as I can before replacing it.) I bought a skim doctor to increase the velocity of flow into the skimmer and have been really, really happy with it. Vs. last year I am doing almost no manual...

    Revitalizing an old fiberglass pool

    So, we are through the shock process and into maintenance mode. The pool (even though this picture does not capture it) is SPARKLING clear. I can easily see the light dancing on the floor of the deep end. I am really surprised by the clarity. The pool actually looks a little worse in some...

    Revitalizing an old fiberglass pool

    We don't have the ledge, I think that is a cool feature though. What dimensions on your pool, mine is 35 x 16 (at the widest point) and about 11ft at the deepest. I ask because I had been using an estimate of 24,000 gallons and yours is quite different from that. Have you done anything to...

    BBB = Inexpensive? I must be missing something...

    Locally, the $21/week in bleach would be about 16.3 96 oz. 6% bottles from Aldi. What FC levels are you hitting everyday that require the addition of 2.3 bottles of bleach each day? Or is your local bleach significantly more expensive than that?

    Revitalizing an old fiberglass pool

    Pic as of today. Not there yet, but getting there quickly. Free Chlorine fell by ~6 overnight from 27 - 21 (roughly, man I can't wait to get the right test kit in) water has cleared significantly. CC is still quite high, hard to measure though, I do know that at the 5X dilution the TC test...

    Revitalizing an old fiberglass pool

    That's just how goopy the water was, wouldn't even pour out when I turned it upside down. . . And yes, to the best of the limitations of the measurements I can currently take I am following the Pool School Shocking Process. The people at Aldi's looked at me a little weird when I bought 8...

    Revitalizing an old fiberglass pool

    Hello All-- First time pool owner, sorta accidentally. We bought a house two days from going into foreclosure, assuming that the pool was a goner. A buddy of mine convinced me that if it held water and had no major cracks, it was salvageable. So I decided to try. I wish I had found TFP...
