http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-T104-Intermatic-timer.html According to this A is used for a second 240 load. Do you have two devices on this timer? Edit: still doesn’t look right. I’m stumped.

Is it possible the timer motor was swapped out at some point with a WG1570 which would run on 120v and require its own neutral?

I think that might be a neutral to run the timer on 110v?

For context my equipment pad is in the enjoyable envelope of my pool area (not tucked in the back corner of the property line) and I can have it running at 3K with my heat pump running and it drowns into the environment as a hum. This thing sounds like a jet engine, I assume even for a SSP this...

The pump runs all day and night. I can be standing next to my pool equipment which is 200ft from the neighbor’s equipment and hear their pump over mine. It’s low key driving me a bit mad. I have a VSP which even on its highest RPM setting is a whisper compared to this. Thoughts? 79e-1t_NvAA

Coming down from SLAM. My PH was low (7.2) and my CH was sub 50 (I know it’s a vinyl pool but I have a heat pump and would prefer to gradually get my CH up to manufacture recs) so I added a bit of calcium chloride. These are my numbers as of today. Is there anything I should be doing or let...

Any liner experts weigh in if this area is now at risk of tearing?

That’s gonna be a long wait. Ha

Pool is 3 years old - bottom is vermiculite and otherwise very smooth. After opening earlier this month I noticed at the top of the transition from shallow to deep end this crack appeared. Can I knock/tamp the edges of the crack down to smooth it out, I just leave it alone?

Well, it cleared up. I guess it just needed a couple more days. I have yet to do an OCLT but when I turn my light on at night the water no longer glows green. I’m gonna keep it at SLAM a few extra days and then let the FC come down a bit. We got 3” of rain the other day.

By significant pressure it was enough to drop my flow where my heat pump turned off. I’d say I went from 16psi to close to 30 after a few hours. That was 2 cups DE. I’ll backwash and try again. Earlier last week I was testing every few hours but I didn’t see any significant loss of FC I can...

I added DE but my pressure rose significantly. One thing is I don’t have a main drain. I’ve been running my robot to help circulate. I could up my manual vacuuming. I’m testing and adding 2X a day. I over shot my FC so last week I was adding minimal chlorine. My FC over night was only losing...

CYA is ~50 and FC is 20. I’m brushing 2X every day and I have my robot running almost 24/7. Pump is running 24/7. But the deep end still has a green tint. Is it possible the green tint is something else besides algae? Pool was a swamp when I opened but it cleared up very quickly. I’m starting to...
