On it. Thank you so much!

I just put the CYA into a sock and that’s hanging out. Should I start adding muriatic acid already to start to lower the PH or hold off? Pool math says the added CYA will reduce PH down to 7.2 which is already at the lower end of the scale.

The only mention of valves on the parts list is "Pentair CPVC 3-way valve, 2-2.5" Is this what we are wanting to see?

I've been lurking on here for a while and noticed there are quite a few OB's in my area. The amount of help and knowledge on those threads is amazing so I figured I'd add my own build thread now that we are finally getting the process started. Here's what we've got so far. Hopefully some of...
