Are you going to be filling it up immediately? Sucks to be building a pool on Long Island right now, since you likely won't be using it until May or June.. maybe July? I only got to swim in my pool for a month after it was built and I'm already jonesing to take a dip!!!

Good to know I also ran a 4 wire from my house to the easytouch so I'm not going use the wireless unless I have problem with the wire. Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks!

Little update ran the wires for the pool service today going to mount panels tomorrow . I'm running a 100amp outdoor sub-panel that will run the pool and a pool house that I'm going to put up next year. I also ran 2 separate runs of 4 wire for the screen logic and a run of cat5.

Running 11/2 conduit for 3 #2 and a #4 for a ground


After wire was pulled and all conduit was glued I back filled the trench with about 6 inches of dirt and put 3/4" conduit on top of it for the 4wire and CAT5 line



Then I built this mounting post for panels and low voltage transformers



Tomorrow's another day!!!!

Great job! That is a lot of work!

How is your back and hands feeling? I hope you have a big tub, lots of Epsom salts, and BEER!

You didn't trench that yourself, did you?

 

[Divin Dave]

No, quite the contrary! You did it just the way it should be (IMO). I like having control over every pipe. In case one springs a leak, a valve on each pipe can come in handy in troubleshooting and isolating it. NOt to mention you can create all sorts of neat water currents by playing with the valves. Fun Stuff!

Awesome!

Is to many valves bad?

NoI had a buddy do the trench with his excavator
