thxs, sounds like the single speed will be easier for me to install

If they go with the duel speed, is there anything else i need to do with the setup? They have basic timer, intermatic t101p201

Thanks for the quick reply I have watched youtube vidoes of the shaft seal and impeller remove/replacement. That link is very helpful as well. I like the suggestion on the pump, but would you have a single speed that you recommend? They are looking to spend as little as possible. Hence me...

My neighbors' pump motor was making a grinding noise and when I turned it on it started smoking. Since I have turned out to the neighborhood pool guy, I'll be replacing it for then. Details - Pentair Part 7 - 177475-20 FR - Y56Y Type - CX Please suggest a replacement motor, where I can buy...

what if you have to open the air bleed everytime you run the pump? I also see air bubbles coming out of my return line. I also lose prime in the pump.

Can you call it swiming if you're digging out Trichlor tabs from the bottom of the pool?

81 and rising. We'll have three or four straight days of triple digits this week in Phoenix, that should push the temp. up.

Where did you get the showerhead from?

The product that I used was CHLORBRITE. Not sure if it contains CYA, but it did the trick in clearing up the pool.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The only problem that I had on start up is all the Crud that was in the lines that I didn't change blew into the pool. It was greener than green after I fired up the pump. It took a gallon of muratic acid and 18 bags of shock to clear it up. Wish I had a few photos of that. Here is a picture...

Time to fill with water and check for leaks....

The one problem I ran into was too much pressure to the waterfountain. It also didn't give me enough pressure to the deck jets. To help that out i installed a valve. This has helped the pressure problem to the water fountain but I am still having trouble with the deck jet on the right hand...

Later that week it was time to install the pool equipment. Again, I thought I took progressive pictures, but I can't locate them, so here is the finished product. It might look like the heater is hooked up, but it's not. I need to get seals that will allow me to run the plumming into the...

After we got the electric up and running I poured the concrete slab for the equipment. Its only the second time that I have worked with concrete and although it's not a professional job, it will have to be good enough.

It's been awhile since I have had time to update. The pool has been up and running for about a month. I had John my electric friend over to install the EasyTouch system. We ran a new line from the main breaker to the EasyTouch pannel. We also ran three other lines to the BBQ island and the pool...

I just bought the 2x Dark limited edition from barginpoolsupplies.com for $325. Ordered on Wednesday and received on Friday.

Ordered up my equipment today. I purchased it through http://www.bargainpoolsupplies.com/ I spoke directly with Mark who was able to price match or beat each item that i found on the net. I've been searching the internet for three weeks on the equipment prices. Here is my equipment list...

It pays to have several compaines bid on projects. I had about five or so gas companies come out for the estimate on the gas line for the BBQ. I found two companies that would do it for half of my original quotes. One company I chose just wanted to have a job to keep it's employees busy in this...

Have you consulted with an electrician prior to running the conduit? It must be sized correctly. Yes I did thanks for asking. I will be hitting uo BBQDave for info but that project is a year out

New pool lines added. I increased the deck jets to 1 1/2 pipe from 3/4 to help improve the water movement. Notice the electrical conduit on the left, that is todays goal, to get all the electrical lines run. I have had several companies in to give me estimates for the gas run. I've had...

The trench on the left will be for the water line, the center line will be for the gas line and the trench on the far right is for the electrical line for the BBQ island. After all the trenching, I was ready to clean out the swamp that had been brewing in the pool. I rented a sump pump from...

Trenching new lines. I want to add gas, water and electric to the BBQ island along with new trenching for moving the equipment pad.

Demo work continues....... It took an afternoon to remove the fence and walkway.

Hi, Thought I would document my process/progress on my equipment install and relocation project. Feel free to add advise and comments to help make the project a success. For background, my wife and I purchased the house as a foreclouse back in November 08. The last owner took the pool...

Can I ask? What is The Mod Squad? Besides a TV show...... :-D Edit: Moderators .... answered my own Q. The only question I'm able to answer right now!

I have decided that since I am moving the pool equipment further away from the pool I will increase the diameter of the deck jets to 1 1/2". Trenching is already done, so it makess it a no brainer. Here is a picture of the suction or return lines that I'm not sure of. They are in the lowend...

Hello all............. I have been lurking around the last few weeks and just joined the other day. This is the most informative pool fourm that I have come across. The posters and mods do a great job of providing detailed information. I have learned a lot already. I bought a foreclosed home...

Love the look of the spillover.
