Didn't know if I should post this here considering it was not this particular wiki issue, but a wiki page with a dead link. https://www.troublefreepool.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hayward_Aquarite_SWG See Salt Cell Failure - Post-mortem with pictures (Links to the below page.)...

Another suggestion would be to use flex PVC, it gives you a little wiggle room when connecting things, freeze thaw shift from yr to yr. If you accidently hit it. If those are individual blocks, they will shift. Even on my thick poured concrete pad I get yearly movement. Like the guy did in the...
