lol. I’ll stop talking about them.

Picture of the bottom. It does look like its in good shape and the paint on the top has definitely flaked off but it looks like copper pipes embedded in aluminum panels.

Ohhh Thank you so much. The pipes look like they’re copper there’s a slight greenish tint to it on the underside. And it looks like the base is aluminum. It’s still shiny on the bottom. Let me attach a picture.

Hello, We're getting roof work done and need to move these solar water heating panels that we have. They're potentially fafco panels from at least 20 - 30 years ago. They're these tubes mounted in some sort of aluminum( I think) sheet with PVC pipes in between panels connected via clamps. Can...

Cool. I'll try to change it out and post back here with results. Thanks again.

Thank you so much!!!

Dear TFP Gurus So the pool we inherited also has a vacuum breaker valve leak. Can someone please ID the model of the valve that I need to replace this with. It might be a LASCO valve but I couldn't really make it out very clearly. The size seems to be 2 x 3/4" (it says so on the valve) which...

Thank you. What is the best way to drain the water off to water lawns and the sort and then to drain into the sewer if needed. I was thinking maybe I could do it in 15% or 25% stages. But I have no idea how to even drain the pool. Is this controlled via the pump ?

A significant portion is like 50% or so? How can I do that. Can I drain some of the water to the regular sewer? Seems awfully wasteful to drain the water to the sewer. Krishna
