Interesting. I'll look into it. I have the receipt from lowes, I'll take a look and see what I have. Wasn't aware. Did my own pool about 5 or 6 years ago with same fittings so hopefully it holds forever I suppose.

Can only imagine the rabbit holes I'll end up down. Replaced the sand filter with a top mount hayward and had to replumb the entire thing. Don't know if I'll get hate here for the overuse of primer/glue but it holds They're back up and running. I wanted to move the pump to cut down on the...

That makes sense, I have never seen a non top mounted valve before. Had them send me another picture and you are correct. Will take a drive out to confirm it's actually broken and not incorrectly tightened. Going to TFP school has its pluses and minuses (I guess I'm the family pool expert now)

Oops you're right. On my phone. 99% sure it's an install issue just not sure what the sealing method is on those connections given the tapered pipe.

My wife's father's brother reached out to me asking if I could fix a leak he is having. Don't have much to go on, could be a bad a O ring or seal but I don't recognize this type of piping/connection. I use standard PVC at my pool and this looks like something that would be sold as a part of a...

Yeah I overshot with the 15 bags. Currently at 4800. I vacuumed to waste yesterday about halfway down the skimmer and refilled to top of skimmer. Was over 5000k. Reading 4600 to 4900 on RJ 60 and 4800 on salt test. Supposed to rain tomorrow possibly and then supposed to rain next week. I'll...

Turned it on at 2800 per your note and was surprised/relieved to see it not give low salt and shut off. Didn't know it would run under 3000 instant. At 3000 - 3100 instant now. I'll do a salt test in the morning. Sometimes just need a sounding board before I make any rash decisions I guess

Circupool RJ 60+

Thats true, patience is a virtue I suppose

My pool is 20,000 gallons. At least that's what the math says and I've always balanced against 20k wirh success. Moving to SWG. I added 600 lbs of salt total. 36 hours later (I have less than ideal circulation), the swg is reading 2800 to 3000 ppm. 24 hours read 2400. 36 hours read 2800. No...

Thanks! Good to know. Just put in a new GFCI today while I was in there so i could double check the wiring as I inherited the pool. Everything up and running. Just waiting on salt to dissolve. I'd post some pictures but my shed needs some serious TLC.

Just want to check and see if anyone thinks poorly on this setup. Did some forum reading and most things revolve around timers which I don't use. Picked up an RJ60. Just jumpered it to 110V. My pump is wired to a plug that goes into a locked GFCI outlet (has a outlet lock box over it). Plug...
