Another good idea, and I do have access to a 3-d printer!

This is a good idea and yes, there is more to secure including irrigation timer panel. Thanks for the tip!

My rental property has a sand filter. This morning I got a text that the water level dropped and is coming out of the backwash pipe. Thankfully they caught this within 15 minutes. The lever was moved from Filter to Rinse most likely from a curious child. Is there a way to lock the lever to...

Time to deep clean my sand filter and after reading a few threads I believe it will be in my best interest to add 3 unions. Hoping I can get some help: Type and size of union? Size of additional PVC to make the connections Location of the unions Same PVC primer/glue that I use on my...

Ah got it … I’ll expand my search and budget a bit. Hoping to get something that will be close to coverage as Polaris basically to brush the liner each week as there is rarely any debris in the pool to pick up.
