Thanks for comments. It was my understanding that a ground rod isn't needed if the grounds are common between main panel and detached with neutrals isolated? Sounds like one can go either way with nec if i am reading correctly? As for bonding, there was not anything before. I only see a place...

Got a permanant above ground pool and wanted to move the pump/filter combo and set on a concrete pad i poured. Discovered that electrical was "masked" to look like it was in conduit and was just uf cable buried under the grass after a few inches of conduit. The whole wiring is a mess. Would...

I cant believe a professional pool guy leaves all that **** on the bottom and thinks its going to clear up

Your ex may have kept the water clean but it wasnt "balanced". once the cya gets out of control (chlorinator keeps adding it when using pucks) trouble is a brewin' and it aint easy to keep clean no more. The amount of chlorine to maintain a pool increases with cya and you have too much. Got to...

Heh i did the exact same thing a week ago and am paying the price still and have my own thread on it. I would read pool school and familiarize yourself with what to do and what NOT to do!! The devils in the details and clean everyday. I am still finding stuff on the bottom as the pool clears...

Correction: TA 150 not 15. Thanks folks. I did get the speedstir....i always like gadgets. Im curious how high the cya was for it to be 35 after winter? Not sure how much it decreases over few months? Plus i added 3 inches of water. 3 inches is 1000 gallons whew!

Bought a house last nov with a pool. Didnt know jack about anything. I made mistake of dumping winters leftovers in pool when i got lazy and tried to take cover off by myself without cleaning. Resulted in immediate swamp 6 days ago. Took immediate action and bought rake for leaves and spent...

Still making progress slowly but surely. I can officially see the bottom and tell i missed some debris off from a distance. Cant wait to sweep that **** outta there some more. Just goes to show i spent hours sweeping blindly theres still stuff lingering down there.

My freakin tf100 is supposed to be here tomorrow....hopefully i can speed up this cleanup. Im still making progress as i can see the bottom now.
