If anyone is interested, I was able to find spa jets by paramount called parajets that fit over a 1" pvc line that give you massaging options.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks flynn!

Thanks for the reply mk. I ran a 2" poly gas line so I can tap off of it later if I want a fire feature and/or bbq. It's probably overkill but that seems to be my mo, lol

Hi everyone, My pool and spa is relatively small at 90 linear feet and only 5.5 deep at the deepest end. I've calculated around 8500 gallons. Is the main criteria for getting a larger btu heater the faster the heating up period? I know cost, spacing, etc are all variables as well but all things...

Hi everyone, I started my pool and spa repiping today with PVC canceling out the old copper lines. The plumber ran 1" stubouts for the jets and left them capped under pressure. Should I have gone bigger to get fancier jets after the plaster work is done? Or is 1" normal at this stage? I'm...

Hey JP, that's exactly what I was thinking too! A secondary bond in the water just in case something with one or the other goes awry just seems logical to me. Thanks for the vote of confidence and suggestion. Much appreciated!

Hey Jerz, thanks for the reply and insight into Jandy lights! I don't have a complete grasp on which LED lights I'll end up using. As of right now, I'm looking into CMP and Hayward lights only because I'm leaning towards a Hayward automation system like OmniHub or OmniPL. I don't know if I...

Hello everybody, I'm currently getting pricing for PVC piping for my remodel through local plumbing, irrigation, and big box stores. I understand that 2021 is a crazy year with pricing and supply chain disruptions. Here in Southern California, 2" PVC Schedule 40 20foot length pipe runs about...

Hi Jim, Yes thanks for that clarification! I guess I didn't specify the sacrificial anode I was thinking of getting which was the one that had the bonding lug attached to it as well to bond the water from that point. Unless I'm mistaken that all sacrificial anodes have this option and I'm just...

Thanks Allen! I'll be sure to read up on this and ask any followup questions.

Hello TFP world! I have several bonding questions for those who can weigh in, thanks! Is it redundant to have a skimmer with a water bond AND a sacrificial anode with a water bond on your pool equipment? I'm not worried about budget but just want to absolutely make sure my pool is properly...

Hello TFP community! My family and I recently purchased a mid-century home built in 1969 with original in ground pool and spa. I'm completely new to being a pool owner and I did not grow up with a pool myself so my knowledge on anything pool related is very limited in scope. I've been trying to...
