    Really confused about my equipment for new pool and I am not sure the PB is any less.

    I am missing your point here. I want a salt water pool, not a chlorine pool. I did not get one. No one will install it for less and I lose the warranty on the rest. Working with PB to address.

    No, this was in the scope of work and in the contract. I think he forgot to put it in, messed up and put in the chlorine and now realizes that he cannot make it right too easily.

    Thanks , will check with them, but I noticed mine is really stingy, nothing for lights, thermostats, etc, cities next door have tons. - - - Updated - - - Thank you. Now I am wondering how bad it will be when I want to add solar. This is so stupid when it is a brand new pool that...

    Well, I finally got hold of the builder. I got some story that they don't like Salt Water and they always told me that they will refund the $2000 for the system and then I can have another company come in and do it. I am not told that they do this all the time for all their salt water clients...

    Started googling that and I understand what you are saying. This is not going to be a fun conversation. Between the PB appearing not to know their stuff (and this is a large company) about where solar goes into the system and them screwing up the salt. Am I looking for a marking that says...

    Oh is this why I am not getting any replies to my texts? They messed up? I was wondering how much space that needs. There is space on the side, but that is for the AC. We were about to put that back (it was removed to make space on the side for heavy equipment to get back). Maybe we...

    I have a feeling that he will not swap the VS to a water feature pump for free...it will cost me. The idea with the VS was to have the ability to run it more or less, and I thought the VS was suppose to be an efficient pump, so that's wht this made sense. Originally it was to to a 2 HP...

    Well, I got the equipment in and installed. There are 2 VSPHP pumps, variable pumps. 2 issues worry me: 1. One of the pumps goes only to Grotto and back, it bypasses the filter, where the solar will also go. This seems to me like a major waste of energy, I thought both pumps woudl go...

    Hi, The PB chose the equipment, but we're not finalized yet as he believes that the solar heating should run off the grotto pump and I am hearing otherwise. They are Jandy shop, so it will likely be two VS pumps. This will be a salt water pool actually.

    Thanks Brian, So I got it. Variable VS Pump for the main one, running it all, but grotto. Either the same VS or the SWF125 for just the grotto waterfall. Basically go for lower lower cost here. And PB is wrong about solar being off the secondary and not using the filter...thank you, this is...
