I have 4 deck jets and each has it's own ball valve so we can adjust the pressure. So they can shoot from 1 foot to probably ~30 feet. Kids love them in and out of the water.

Looks exciting! Lovely back yard. The drawing is great, cracks me up!

Re: Pool Build - California Dreaming May I ask what type of glass tile you used?

Thanks Brent! We love it too. I'll be posting some updated pics as soon as we get some good weather as the landscaping is all done now. Yes, that is our town you see in the distance and if you squint really hard you might see downtown Sacramento on the horizon.

Took a look around the base last night and there are only 2-3 cracked tiles. The white stuff occurs pretty consistently but slowly. It shows up about 4-5 days after I clean it.

Here's some new ones.

So based on what I read on Oceanside's website, a waterproof membrane of some sort should be placed between the shell and tile and as Just-a PB mentioned some sort of expansion joint is needed between the glass and deck. Just-a-PB, am I missing anything else obvious in terms of what needs to be...

Haha, no I seriously misread what he was asking.... I did get a few scratches on the glass tiles in the plaster on the steps but they were pretty minor and so I'm ok with them. Wish more was done to protect them as Just-a-PB pointed out. What I don't like is glass cracking and falling into the...

yostiger - not sure what you are asking... if the tiles are installed correctly the tiles won't "scratch... look is subjective.

Tile guy removed the tile around the crack pictured above and found no cracks in the underlying shell. He replaced the tiles but there still is no root cause as to what is causing the cracking. Every cracked tile I've seen has a white residue that has leached out from the shell or concrete and...

I'm getting a low salt reading on my IC40 of 2600 ppm even though I measured 3400 ppm with Aquacheck test strips. Before I try to recalibrate I want to inspect the IC40 but don't possess the super-human strength necessary to remove the unions. Is there a tool to help with this?

"it always runs at the highest speed of anything that is currently on"... this is the piece I was missing, thanks Jason! I did not have high speed schedule overlapping with the pool schedule but now that I know this little tidbit I made that change and it's running as I expect.

There's not much skimmer action when I run in Pool mode. VS runs at 1750 RPM in pool mode. I'd like to be able to run in High Speed mode for an hour or so a day to get better skimmer action. I'm not really sure if losing that hour of the IC40 generating chlorine is critical or not. I run the...

Thanks for the replies. The valves make sense to me now. I saw the diagram inside the EasyTouch panel as well which also helped. RPM & WATTS did show up after a bit of waiting on the wireless controller. Thanks for the tip. Anybody know how to allow the IC40 to run in a mode other than POOL...
