    Need help with plumbing!!!!

    I can do it, but it's a pain. Not nearly the pain to rebuild all that. Short version, take a saw and cut off that entire valve, except where the joint in question is, don't mess that up. Once that valve body is out of the way, take a hack saw blade and make a LONG ways cut, not all the way...

    Manual to automatic gear selections (pics)

    Thanks, That's what I was wondering.... Is it not possible to run the filter & spa jets on one larger VS-3040...like maybe a 3 HP unit? In an ideal world I would be able to ditch all 3 of those pumps and have it all run off one larger 3040 with everything actuated. Is that what you are saying...

    Pool Equipment installers in Northern California - Modesto??

    I don't know this company you speak of nor do I care. As a fairly expensive plumber ($95 per/hr) myself I will say this...you get what you pay for. So, while you seem to have this whole plumbing trade figured out (laughable) you as a home owner should know it doesn't take a genius to be able to...

    Adding Solar Bear Panels to our AGP- The process with pics

    The plot thickens..... So the main panel is one one side of the house, the disco is at the opposite end...call it 100 feet. Than you have about 100 feet of wire run to the controller. So total is 200 feet with 12 awg wire. Based on that you would have about a 5-8 volt drop. That's alot..... I...

    Well by all means see if you can get your money back....it's kinda like a kids toy made in China if you aske me. Yes rewire the pump if you are going to keep it. Or simply wait out the year warranty to do it. as for the reason to rewire it...it has to do with voltage drop. If the existing awg...

    OK, so you have a 20A (single pole) breaker for the pool circuit...OK, that's fine. The box outside on the brick is called a disconnect (a.k.a. Disco) and is required. The recepts you have installed in that O.D. box tells me that (at least the one on hte right) is a dedicated 20 Amp circuit...
