I wonder if a command strip/hook would hold the rope in place for you?

If you can find somebody with a locator (gas utility, irrigation tech, etc), you can hopefully push a metal fish tape down the skimmer line and they can hook onto that and follow it back to where it dead ends, and then you’ll be close to where the equip pad was.

As per the manual, “After the water pressure switch is activated there is a one minute temperature sensing delay then if there is a call for heat or cool the fan will turn on and there will be an additional 5 minute delay for the compressor to start. Be sure that there is water in the pool and...

Odds are, pull it back up into the track. Hard on fingers but can be done. They will likely put a piece of liner lock in there too to help it stay...

Seems to me all that you need is a hose barb out the side of the bottom of the tank, with a piece of tubing up the side of the tank with the other end left open. The level in the tube should follow the level in the tank.

I use the air compressor for the small ones, I use the shop vac for the big ones.

2" to split, then valves, then reduce down... you'll lose flow if you reduce down to 3/4" before the splits and valves

I personally just use a large flathead screwdriver and a hammer and beat it out. Sometimes I can beat it unscrewed, sometimes I just have to break it out. Gotta be careful not to slip and damage the pool either way though.

Looks to me like you just need to put a new illuminator there to get going again assuming the electrical is good.

Pool company must've been more familiar with automotive wiring than house wiring (red is pos and black is neg in auto wiring)

Just my opinions from my experience... if the liner stays in without the linerlock, then you probably don't need it anyway. It's not the end of the world if the liner comes out of the track in places, just work it back in with your hands (no tools). Shorter lengths of linerlock vs 1 continuous...

They make this fitting but it's kinda 'spensive... no experience with it either... Beluga Solar Heater - PoolSupplies.com

Gas valve has a solenoid internal to it... it's what makes it open and close...

Line is incoming power, load is the load, or the pump(s) in this case.. Im assuming you're wanting to run everything off of 1 breaker. pull your white wires off of 3 and 5, and tie them together with the white wire on 1. You may have to create a pigtail and use a wire nut to do that. Then you...

One other thing to mention about the reg being right close to the heater. It could be that you have a 2lb gas system at your house, and this reg steps that 2# down to the low pressure the heater wants. This setup allows for smaller gas pipes between your meter and the heater. If this is the...
