    My Hayward Aquavac 650 is flashing the blue light on the display

    My cleaner just happened to do this yesterday. I haven’t been able to find much in the way of troubleshooting. I did a reset and managed to get it back to green for about a minute before it started flashing red, then blue after unplugging it and trying again. For what it’s worth, the light on...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    The PB quoted 160' of 4" drain which will come down that side of the house and out to a pop-up on the curb. Hopefully I can talk them into tying at least that downspout in (there's 2 more on that corner of the house but they will have grass available). If not, then I will certainly need to...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    The plumbing looked quite a bit more compact than I expected, but I guess it's all there and clean enough to trace and work around. For the sheers it looks like I only have the valves on the back side of the wall (I don't have a picture but its just a standard PVC shutoff). I had thought there...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    On another note, my yard has become a warzone, just missing the razorwire on either side of no man's land with all these trenches. Impressively it was all dug by spade and shovel, I had assumed a mini-excavator was the right tool for the job. Also while the plumbers did their thing yesterday...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    PB offered to upgrade to the 940 for $300. I would have preferred $0 of course, and $300 seems like the retail price difference, but I'm thinking that getting it now at the start and getting the installer warranty is worth it. Even if all I'm doing is partially pre-paying the replacement, I've...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    Thanks for the input. I checked with our designer and he said he's read the same 2:1, but they don't do a ton of salt systems and the Hayward rep has told them they don't need to oversize it (I'd argue he's a little biased...). I did ask if we could swap out for the TCELL940, since the model was...

    New Build in Rosharon (south of Houston)

    Well after a lengthy delay caused by the HOA not understanding the county permit requirements (or lack thereof for unincorporated areas), and me forgetting to sign the loan documents (... oops), we had our excavation last week, rebar the next day, and then yesterday the gunite crew did their...
