Last weekend was a little busy so I didn't get a chance to work on the pump. After reading some reviews about the pipe reamer, some people had issues, so I think I'm going to cut the pipes at the pad and install a new jandy valve to raise the valve height to be inline with the pump. There should...

It's this timer: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/3363/ELEC-T104R3.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17424145106&gbraid=0AAAAAD_uQn4oCuZEK2WiEMxc9QC4uiebL&gclid=CjwKCAjw24vBBhABEiwANFG7y41NFbaBe7ejbmTgHKNd5rFepc2gl-g5SBxZ2Vc97UiiGvtx5_HhUhoCSmwQAvD_BwE Thanks. that's a good idea. There is a...

So, I may have a snag. I have an intermatic mechanical timer which turns my old pump on and off along with the SWG. Do I want the SWG on all the time, but turned down to a lower power? If not, what is the best way to control it with the Calimar?

For anyone wondering, I ordered these guys to try out. should eliminate the need for a reducer to 1.5" if they work out well...

I've got about another foot of room behind it. The piping is 1.5 wouldnt the valve also be the same ID? I don't understand the 2"-2.5" reference earlier. Here Are some better pics. Yes I know the connector is missing for the electrical. It is being addressed:) I might try the reamer first. I'll...

I found some 1.5" unions online which will be delivered today. I was checking out my pump and there is almost no pipe to work with coming out of the T. What's the best course of action here?

thanks. before I order, I'm guessing the easiest thing to do is to get the 2" unions and glue in a reducer to 1.5"?

I need to replace my Amerilite 784 fixture and found this as a possible replacement. Does anyone have any experience with this fixture? I'd likely toss one of J and J's led replacement bulbs in it as well. Thanks...

I appreciate that. It's hard to tell from your pic, but are the elbows for elevation change or are they lateral? Also there's probably no sense in trying to replumb the little bit of 1.5" pump a have at the pad to 2" right?

I'm going from a Hayward SP to Calimar VS pump and I see in the specs that there is a .2" difference in the center line of the hayward vs the Calimar. Am I looking at replumbing the whole inlet or is it possible to make it work with the existing plumbing? I've currently got 1.5" pipes so I'll...

Thanks. I'll just go back the the Amerilite and a J&J replacement bulb.
