Ok. Fortunately, my inability to read a label that dusk evening (blaming it on the light) also inhibited my use of a torque wrench, and I misread that too... I didn't tighten it over 150ft/lbs, I tightened it over 150cm/kgs, which is closer to 150 in/lbs!

Yikes.. says inch pounds.

There is no spring on mine. I have a silicon based faucet lube, would that work? Otherwise, waiting for Amazon shipment.

I did not lube it. Could not lubing result in a leak?

I cleaned the DE filter for the second time ever. I have never replaced the tank o-ring and lo' it's got a slow consistent dribble. Couple questions: 1. Should be safe to let the thing continue running until my amazon order arrives, correct? It arrives in 4 days. I'd say it's the same pace as...

My pump isn't variable speed, but I suppose if it ever goes, I could change that.

Alright, so this happened twice already and I am really just trying to understand what is causing it. The first time I thought it was kids trekking mud into the pool, but the second time that variable was removed: First instance: This one is explainable... Muddy feet (particles), low FC to...

I want a propane heater to extend our season. There is no room on the pad, but I was thinking that if I could have the HVAC units moved further to the right, then pour another slab and move the pool equipment to the right, the heater can be to the left, closest to the propane tank and feed back...

We aren't there yet for him, but our pool isn't that deep so there isn't much concern. We were supposed to go freediving / snorkeling this week in Florida, but our trip was canceled because of the storm. I was going to teach the kids those things in deeper waters. I remember when I was a kid...
