looks like the same sunburning the vinyl parts of my RV get over time. Painting the RV parts fixed the problem but I doubt that is a viable solution for a part that is submerged in water 24/7 and subject to friction when the eyeball is moved around. I bet some manufactures have better UV...

When the pump starts up I get a little water on the equipment pad under the pump. The water is not coming from he drain plug so it must be the seal where the wet end meets the motor. So my question is if this just started and I don't hear any Honorable sounds am I good just getting a seal kit...

I did a Hot sun install, at the lower part of the system where the water enters the panels at the roof you want no more than 5 psi. The filter pressure has a relationship to the the panel pressure but it is biased on pipe size and amount of lift before it enters the panels and the amount of...

+1 on the standalone. hate to beat a dead horse here but... less expensive to buy, less expensive to operate, less expensive to repair, less expensive to remove and/or replace. noticing a trend here ...

Agree with Squirrel, rotate the jet in the back 180 degrees that will make it point in the opposite direction and may fix the problem. You can also reduce the amount of flow to the tail by adjusting the set screw near the base of the tail. That will give a little more speed and toque to the...

I have done similar projects and get all my parts except water proof boxes off of Amazon or eBay. Amazon is way faster for a little more money, if you don't mind waiting a month in some cases you can get parts form china from eBay. Boxes I just get at HD or Lowes they have all shapes and sizes...

ah Jim is right I forgot one leg needs to stay powered at all times, sorry about that. So you will have to throw a relay in the mix like his original diagram so figure an extra $10 for that too

Did you try resting your router? If you have a separate modem and router from your ISP. I would unplug both the modem and router, power up the modem wait about 2 min then power the router, wait about 4 min then try Aqualink on the PC again

Least expensive would probably be a 120V WiFi switch connected to a 24VAC transformer. If you shop around I would think you can get everything you need project box, WiFi switch, transformer, and wire for around $50

The valves do have stop points controlled by cams and micro switches. Jim's diagram is correct, the relay either feeds voltage to red or to white 100% of the time so the motor is always trying to go in one direction or the other only the micro switch in the valve stops it. Lets say that the...

Most builders will put a hose bib on the out flow from the pump just before the filter. If you have one of these you can simply connect a hose to it and open it up while the pump is running. This is a slow process and is only meant to keep the level below the coping but above the skimmer...

I agree the extra distance is not a problem that needs to be solved. The surface area of the PVC pipe to get to the pool/spa is nothing compared to the surface area of the pool/spa it's self that is buried in the ground in direct contact with the ground. Near 100% of the heat loss will be...

$750 is about right for a depth change, I think I payed $500 for an extra foot in our deep end and it was a small diameter area. I can say with 100% certainty I wish I had seen a thread about going deeper in the shallow end before our build, it's my biggest and perhaps only regret. I would...

I would get quotes from pool builders that do remodels ask what they recommend, and see what cost savings they will offer for you doing some of the work. I am sure that adding the bond beam and demoing the pool steps and reforming to the new depth is doable but the cost may surprise you. Also...

I would contact ECODECK where the photo came from their web site says they will help with design they have several photos next to pools.

For those interested see my initial thread HERE about assembling a cheep peristaltic dosing system. I have not yet done any maintenance on the system and have not had a component failure, there are also some inexpensive off the shelf alternatives for pump/timer combos offered by others in the...

Once a week is all I do during the season and more like every 2 weeks in winter never had a problem.

I know there have been several threads about nicheless LED lights failing just wanted to share my experience. Pool will be 3 years old on OCT 30 we noticed this spring that one of the LED lights was not 100% what color we chose. For example if I chose blue most of the LEDs in the light would...

If you can ping it call Jandy they are very helpful with setup. They will not help with wiring and physical connections probably a mixture of liability concerns and ensuring proper setup to reduce call volume. If you can ping it and have the correct SN they should be able to access it and get...

78 right now should be around 83 by 3:00 PM. got to love the cover and solar, wish I had another 100 sq/ft or so.

You could pour a wedge shaped landing at the gate to flatten things out, this would create a step or even 2 but might be the only option for a gate.

I would either change the vent pipe to a double wall or cut the hole in the fence about 1/2 inch bigger all around and use 3 or 4 L brackets to keep the pipe centered in the hole.

That bulk reef supply pump looks decent and the tube replacements are reasonable, with the 50ml/min version could be a good Stenner alternative for a pool too.

I know people have done them on remodels, no idea about the potential to crack at the cold joint down the road but my guess is if they can do it on an old pool, it is probably much easier on a new one, and I suspect that builders and re-modelers would not do it if it were likely to lead to a...

OK so not really a Stenner but I figured anyone searching for info on using a peristaltic pump would start with Stenner threads. I recently purchased a 250 gallon spa and wanted to automate sanitation as much as possible. Just like when we had the pool built I strongly considered a SWG but...

I get my Stenner parts off of eBay they are a bit less expensive there, I don't know if that would hold true shipping to Canada. I Have not had my MA tube burst but I did notice it discoloring so I diluted it down to 15% and that helped. I think those who are not using duckbills are just going...

That sucks! but your post could be useful to someone else in the future. When we had our pool built it was fall so I did not bother doing landscaping till spring but I did put in the drains right away. I had no less than 3 people ask me why I put so many around the pool, I guess they were...

Now that is dedication to a TFP. Wonder who is :paddle: out there to add the chlorine?

Just got an 4 person Aquaterra on sale from Costco for 2K+ tax delivered (normaly 3K but goes on sale every 4 to 6 months from what I have seen). Used it for the first time this weekend we had 2 to 4 people in at various times. 3 is comfortable 4 is ok as long as 2 of them are married :hug: ...
