    Well the light wedge and the trim ring both came today. I chose to replace the ring instead of just using the wedge. If I could figure out how to post a photo, I would. Keeps telling me I've exceeded my quota?

    Yes. But that single brass screw has to bite on something. Something like a little tab. My tab is broken. So I can either go with the light wedge as a fix, or I found the stainless steal ring that has the tab on it. Which would you guys go with?

    So I've read all about the light wedge. Actually have one ordered for my niche. I also have a replacement sealing ring on order. I think that's what it's called. The stainless steal ring that actually has the tab on it. All things being equal, which would you use?? The wedge is obviously cheaper...

    Gas Line Question

    I've got a 200K NG Raypak coming tomorrow. There is already gas line running from the meter to a manual shut off valve (which is capped) from a prior heater. My question is can I use flexible gas line to finish the run between the shut off valve and the heater. Probably only be about 2 feet...

    Just wanted to update everyone on my pool. My CC is officially at 0.5 and as of right now I'm just waiting on my FC to come down. My Ph is at 7.8, but I'm in the process of adding acid to get that down. My son had one of his buddies over the other day and his friend, who is 9 years old, said...

    Ok, so I think I'm finally done w the slam. My water is crystal clear. My FC stayed at 20 ppm over night. But my CC making me hesitant. It's ALMOST clear after one drop. Just a very tiny bit of pink left. It's like if I could do one and a half drops it would be fine. But I thought maybe since I...

    My step son was standing there. But I'm not about to let him have my phone anywhere near a large body of water. But he mirrored the same opinion as I did.

    Not sure what u want pics of. I didn't take any of the algae from behind the light, and I've already vacuumed it up. But here's a pic of me rinsing out my filter. That dropped the pressure 3 psi.

    Man!! You guys are good!! So I pulled the light. That may have been the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. And I've seen some pretty gross things. It was like I was vomited on by the light casing. Thick, green, nasty stuff just came spewing out of it. And there I sat. Right in front of it...
