You are right! I will mention it to my PB. It may be that it stays and I will know that I will need to cut it out and install unions at my first service. He used glass media in the filter. He says it will last a lot longer than sand. We will see.

This is the answer I needed! Thank you!

Another question. Should I install a bypass on the heater? The way I see it - no sense in exposing it to the salt water for 6 months that it will not be used..... Cuz - Texas. Whacha think?

Loan stuff seems to be gelled. I expect the PB to have a green light next week. We are super excited!!

This Pampas grass has not been maintained for years. We do not want it next to the pool due to the fluffy stuff, and we do not want to have to maintain it next to the pool for years to come. But I will have to rent a backhoe to dig it up. I appreciate the thought on a cartridge filter. Been...

Awesome!! I will request that change! Thank you!!!
