Hello again Waste
The pool is 18' x41'x8'. The salt is doing good, I had added 6 bags to bring it up from the 65% reading, that brought it back up to 100% but after a couple of days dropped to 80%. It is staying at 80% for a couple of weeks so I will do another reading and no doubt have to add 2 or 3 bags. Last year we did a lot of backwashing due to all the sand around the pool.
We have someone coming on Tuesday to connect the water feature to the pump we use for the swim out area which has 5 smaller jets. I am thinking he will put a gated Y on it to have one or the other working at a time. The original idea was to have an electrical switch near the house to control it but in addition we will have to go to the pump when choosing the swimout or the water feature. Why he is at it I will also add a gated Y to change the backwash flow from the 1000 gal dry well to an above ground discharge connection. This way I can run a hose to the street if need be. I guess you can't think of everything the first time around.
Now we have to take the loop lock cover back in to have it modified for the raised patio section that was added. Not sure what is going to happen with that. Someone said a rubber ledge is added below the coping to support the cover (?)
All in all we like the way it came out. It has a
Pro grid DE Hayward filter,
2 Hayward pumps, 1 being a super pump,
AquaComfort Chlorine generator
AquaComfort Heat pump
Aquabot vacuum
and a very large electric bill
