Zero loss w/ plastic tarp. 1/2" without tarp in 4 hours. Rocks absorb but there must be a leak.

I will ask the contractor and post them. The liner had multiple holes in it (18 years old and/or animals) so it needed to be replaced. We used a large 40ML EPDM that was folder over 3X and laid that over the old one so there should be plenty of coverage. I re-laid the plastic painters tarp to...

The waterfall was finally rebuilt. We laid 3 layers (1 mat folded up 3X) of EPDM 40ML and rebuilt the rock structure surround the fall. I measured water loss overnight (about 10 hours) and it was nearly zero. With the filter off during the day (sunlight), I noticed maybe 1/16" in 5-6 hours. I am...

The travertine (I hate) is light tan so the discolored white looks better. I'll learn to live with it. Maybe after a winter it will look closer to the older color that blends better.

That makes sense. I guess I will learn to live with it. Thanks.

Yes large H. I can’t tell if tan or discolored

I need a replacement but can't figure out if the cover is white or just sun/chlorine bleached light tan. Hayward was zero help and local dealers don't know.

The relays would just power on/off each pump based on a simple schedule. It would only have a single daily scheduler but that is only what a manual timer provides now. Also, they just need a temp sensor for the heater. Thanks for confirming.

Thanks. I use Wyze and that's how I saw the hedgehog. I guess there's no full proof way to proactively prevent so I'll get a trapper.

A buddy is looking to automate their heater so I recommended Pentair intelliConnect given my positive experience but curious if I am overlooking better options given their mix of equipment. Both pumps are controlled via timer which I am hoping to eliminate to give them automation via their...

Thanks. North Jersey has zillions of them. I can get someone out there but I am not sure how I will notice if one comes back? I got lucky with the major debris field so to speak.

I am in NJ and there are zillions of things to deal with. Wire mesh might work.

I am replacing the underlying 18-year-old liner which I believe to be damaged due to a hedgehog. When it burrowed just under the spa's spillover behind the rocks, it made a huge mess of crushed rock, debris, etc. Is there a way to prevent and/or detour them? I COULD put a ton of mothballs as it...
