Thanks. Will look for one near by. Was also thinking of a water purification/supply company as well.

Thanks Mark! Looking to follow in your footsteps on this design, but finding parts in Canada is proving to be an issue. May have no choice but to order from USPlastics and pay the duty....

After reading the excellent thread started by Mark (@mas985) ("]Homemade Acid OR Chlorine Injection System), I've decided to embark on my own take on this. If its successful, I plan on making a post or updating the original (its been quite since end of last year so may want to consider it...

Worked like a charm! Thanks Jim!!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will take a look tomorrow. I appreciate the help from all!

To answer the other question I'll have to pull the switches and check for hot and travellers. Without doing that I'd guess that only one has the hot and the other has the load. - - - Updated - - - That's kind of the answer I was hoping for ?

Wish I was more technical! These are just landscape lights. As far as I can tell it's all correct in that each switch operates independently of the other's position (which is all I've been able to find for common wiring problems). The wiring is about 15 years old and I only noticed this after...

Basically my 3-way is working like an xnor gate when I'd like it to be a xor gate. If both switches are on or off the light is on. If they are opposite the lights are off. Other than flipping a switch upside down, can this be fixed? It's a minor annoyance for some lighting around my pool deck...

Is it normal to open to a green pool? I'm in Ontario and, while only having the pool 4 seasons, it's always been crystal clear when I open. We close around mid October and open mid may. My neighbor one year opened to green water but they waited much longer, first week of June to open. He has...

Not to hijack, but where'd you get that spreadsheet? Seems pretty slick! Combine that with the brains behind pool math and I'm sure most would be using it to track, I know I would! Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk

Pooldv - thanks. What if I know there are no swimmers for a few days or week? Does it still need to be above minimum or just above zero?

Hi all, Since successfully completing my first slam a while back (MANY, MANY thanks Needsajet), i have some questions around minimum FC. Sorry if i choose the wrong forum section... 1. For my CYA (60), FC chart says minimum is 5ppm, target 7ppm. Does this mean that when it drops below 5 i...

Picture isn't a greatest. I really should buy a new phone. Water is crystal clear and doing well! It's been extra hot and sunny here. Going through 4ppm in a 24 hour period. Trying to keep FC around 9-10 to be safe. All summer I was planning onbuilding a rPi based water tester, but am now...

Ok, so here is what this SLAM came down to.... Time: Started PM on Monday July 25th ended AM on Monday August 1st (6.5 days) Expenses: 1. 60ML R-0871-C reagent - $ 45.14 2. Muriatic acid (1.5L used of 4L, plus gloves and a glass measuring cup for applications) - $28.22 3. approx. 70L of...

Passed OCLT! Loss of. 5 with. 5cc Will summarize what and how long it took to complete Needsajet-we may be close on our bet! Off the top of my head it took 70L (give or take 5).
