You might want to reconsider the size of the ledge if younwant to out chairs on it. Look at the type of chairs you want and layout their dimensions on the ground. Think about whether you want to be able to walk around the front of them. You can also decide how many chairs you want side to side...

What do you want the final dimension to be? Unless you are siting parallel to the long side 5' is very narrow for sitting in a lounger. Even 6' can make it challenging to walk around without getting out of the water. Get a lounger out and mark off the distance around it and make sure you are...

I agree with you. I have only run mine during the day for about 15 minutes on couple of occasions to see if it wasncoolr than the pool water when air temp > pool temp. I did note the humidity. In Houston, a summer day may start around 80% RH and dip to around 50% by late afternoon. For an...

The oppressive heat continues incessantly. The morning humidity is typically >70% and drops down to the low 50s. I haven't tracked the overnight water temperature change relative to the temperature and humidity. In addition to evaporation some of the cooling effect takes place by increasing the...

I have a Glacier GPC-210 in the greater Houston area. It works well for me. I started off running it from 8pm to 9am in late July. On days when I did not run it overnight the water temp would rise to 94-96F during the late afternoon. With the chiller running overnight the morning temp would be...

I will echo the auto fill. Filling by water hose in Texas can become a frequent task in the summer. My guess is younwoukd end up with a water hose on the deck with the auto fill attached to the side. If it causes the problem the builder is describing you can always turn it off when you dont want...

I have Intellicenter automation on my pool. I also run njsPC 8.0.1 and dashPanel 8.0.0 on a Raspberry Pi computer. I want to add a temperature sensor to the output pipe on my Glacier Cooler. What is the best/most straightforward way to see the probe's value in real-time and, ideally, historically?

A popular option for underground service cable is to use direct burial triplex aluminum. It is three stranded conductors bundled together. The neutral is typically one size smaller than the 2 hots. It is available in a variety of sizes including more than 3 conductors. It is fairly easy to work...

I would recommend adding your salt in phases and see what your SWG likes rather than all at once. Are the 20 bags 40 lbs each? If so, 800 lbs will raise the salt over 3,400 ppm. Overshooting results in having to drain and replace water. Be sure to test the water first. The salt level may not...

Here is how my Glacier GPC-210 is plumbed and automated via Intellicenter. I have an automated 3-way valve right after the filter. When the cooler is operational, the water flows to the SWG, and then the primary returns. The 3-way valve only sends water down the primary pipe when the cooler is...

What app/site is this? I use an app called Conduit Fill that works well, but it does not have the Jam Probability like this one.

I would like to be able to track the salt levels I get from the Taylor drop test and what my Pentair IC60 reports. They are 800+ ppm apart at times. Currently the drop test consistently shows 2,800 and the SWG reports 3,450. The PoolMath gives the warning that my salt is outside the recommended...
