This is what my engineer guy was saying iirc. I’m in phoenix so the lowest ambient temp I’d want to run the heater might be 40* at the lowest. Being buried I assume the earth would be warmer. I’ll revisit with my engineer guy and see what he suggests as a minimum.

According to the guy I just talked to, about 5-6k for 250, 7-8k for 500. Lots of money but I can use it for future remodel with appliances and water heaters. That includes dig, permit and pipe to where I want, regulators and $2.20g for the introductory fill. More than what I want to spend for...

I've seen the things on people's roofs before and from what I understand they do work well. Especially when combined with a cover. I have not considered it though. Something to look into

I did a remodel for a client about 3 years ago that took 2 years to accomplish. They finished the pool less than 2 years ago. The client never moved in. Someone else recently bought the house, I'm going to remodel it again. Pool is being remodeled too and all the equipment is going to be...

Yeah but that's relatively loud Just came up with a solution. Bury the tank in my front yard. One large diameter pipe to side of house, then branch off of that to the heater and other potential future items.

Propane isn't that bad around here tbh. I already use a heat pump to heat but figured that I could use gas to raise it quicker then maintain with the heat pump to get some efficiency. Also, if I remodel my home in a year I'll use the tank to put gas appliances in the house. I'm more annoyed at...

Thanks for the painful truth. I appreciate it. That's not great news. Now I have to add a gate to the equipment side of the house so the truck can monitor the tanks and truck at the same time....ugh. Cost just went up.

Howdy. I live in a neighborhood where there is no natural gas lines. Of course, I can get propane delivered. Problem is where I would want the propane tank installed and the rules of filling a tank and location of this tank...there's a lot of nuance to my problem but long story long the easiest...

I used my eyeballs. Capacitor was deformed. Got an exact match from my buddy, all is well. So glad it wasn’t something else or more expensive. Kids are swimming with mom right now.

I called my HVAC subcontractor and gave him the symptoms, and he said likely the capacitor. I’m a licensed general contractor and know how to not kill myself most of the time. I turn stuff off. thanks for confirming my buddies suspicions. He’s going to meet me today and give me a capacitor...

Good morning. I have a pentair ultra temp heat pump. This thing worked like a champ until recently. It runs but doesn't heat. Everything else looks like normal. What I have noticed is it sounds and appears the compressor is trying to kick on every 30-90 seconds but doesn't. Why do I think...

Thank you. New app 🤷‍♀️ I had pump on but not pool circuit which is on me. I don’t like the home app. It always failed with my prowler vacuum and I suspect it’s not getting any better. Not stoked about moving but oh well. Thank you for your help

I did check connections. I disconnected at the bottom of the intellicenter and reconnected. I turned all intella breakers off then on. I still get no lights on the swg. I’ve never experienced the absence of indicating lights. Have you?

Howdy SWG hasn’t really been working due to low temps but recently it’s warmed up round these parts. Took a glance and the SWG needs maintenance light was on. Turned all breakers off in my intellicenter and cleaned the IC40. All calcium gone. Viola! Hooked everything up and now I have no lights...

OCLT was good. Been adding stablilizer and lowering the swg % daily. Down to 25% and CYA is up to 65. Slowly adding and waiting for it to get to 70-75 Thanks for the help folks
