I’ve never bothered with the home stores. The NPS/Leslie’s in centennial isn’t overly expensive for just chlorine and MA.

Do you have a sub contractor list? I’m looking to replaster and can’t seem to find anyone that does plaster. I’m out by lone mountain.

To clarify. By keep adding solder I mean you'll probably use about 6 or more inches, the molten solder will help conduct the heat better. One more thing is that since this is most likely ROHS (lead free) the melting point on the solder already on the board is higher than the 60/40 you've...

What Bama said, that's a huge heat sink. You'll need to crank the heat up on the soldering iron and keep adding solder to get the joint to flow. Id clip the leads on the part first. Then use a needle nose to pull the leads out as you hear it up. Clean it up with a desoldering tool or braid...

I throw the manual vacuum in from time to time. I've got the Polaris wand as well but It's more work.

I'm curious to see how this works out. I'm using retrofit lights in my regular landscape lights and I've got 3 strips of waterproof led. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks neat! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As mentioned use landscape lighting wire. I'd go for 12 awg but 14 should be just fine. There is nothing special about speaker wire. It just needs to be a large enough gauge to keep the resistance happy at the amplifier. I've got some b&w outdoor speakers. Probably overkill but I'm a pro...

When my cell went bad it started reading really low on the salt readout. I got a salt drop test, rather pricy but worth it. Sadly it said I needed to drain a LOT of water to get my salt down to a reasonable level. The pool store should hopefully be able to test your cell if you bring it in...

What does a salt test say? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Regarding the salt. When my cell was going bad it kept saying to add salt so by the time I got a salt drop test and figured it out I had to drain to get the extra salt out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Using a multimeter is probably the way to figure it out. Do you know anyone with electrical skills? It'd be worth to pay someone $50 to double check everything. I'd imagine an electrician or pool repair guy could take care of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mentally prepare yourself for still having to add LC. Mine went lime green a few times before I figured it out. As far as setting goes you'll have to feel it out. After awhile you'll get it pegged down. Mine is happy at around 30% most of the time. It can vary with bather load and how much...

To start with I'd try and find the other end of those wires and confirm that they are 120. (Blk to breaker and wht to neutral buss). Mine went through the mechanical timer before the breaker. Then I'd read the manual to triple check that they are hooked up to the pump correctly. Then I'd...

I had a bunch of them last year. They helped a bit but I chucked them last fall and don't plan in getting more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
