So my pool is still open - I went to close it a week or two ago and discovered my cover had deteriorated quite a bit. It was on it's last leg, but I planned to get one more winter out of it. We replaced the liner, installed a SWG, and had the plumbing redone this year. But, given it's...

They've always confirmed exactly what i thought my levels were, so I guess my experience has been different. That being said, I do my own testing 90 percent of the time anyways and won't be changing that practice :)

Yeah I do my own routine testing, but they do free computerized testing and it's so precise, nice to have exact figures every once in a while. They are good people there - they suggest bleach as a sanitizer which judging from these forums, is pretty un-heard of for pool companies. Gave me a...

Sort of what I thought, buying the test kit now. Where is the low salinity warning though? I read the manual, maybe I missed it?

Recently had a SWG installed by the local pool company - TruClear Jandy Pro. I don't see any way to tell the salinity level, and I don't see any warning to tell me salt is low. Am I missing something, or do I need to invest in some salt testing supplies? I take my water to the pool store to...

Paddle switch existed before I bought the house, when the circuit went all the way to the main panel, and the timer was located inside. When I added the sub panel and heater, I had the timer located outside as well. However, the paddle switch is still super convenient because it's right next...

Got it - I understand now. Currently the only thing bonded is the pump, so I should connect wire to the SWG power pack and tie that into the same bonding point on the pump. I also have a heater that was installed last year, but does not appear to be bonded - but it's on the other side of the...

Oh, the wire into the ground? Hmmm, I don't think I have a grid...

I'm with you except the bonding grid part. Everything else looks exactly like how the pump is wired.

Attached a pic of the timer and the wires coming from the power pack on the salt system. Wouldn't let me upload the third... So the conduit goes from the timer, into an outlet for the pump, then into a paddle switch, then into a normal 110v 3 prong outlet. The junction boxes for all those...

I was sort of thinking that, and hoping I was being over cautions. Can you suggest what conduit and wiring I should go look for at the home depot? Do the conduit connectors matter - is there a specific size that works with pool equipment and timers? I guess I should just do it the right way -...

Yes, its like this [Subpanel 110] == [Timer] == [Outlet for Pump] == [Toggle Switch] == [Spare Outlet] [Subpanel 220] == [Heater]

Don't think I have a picture handy, but the outlet is one of the ones that has the foldable cover on it to protect from rain. The circuit itself is GFI circuit - I had a dedicated sub-panel run to the pool equipment last year so he installed it all with GFI circuits (the only things on it are...
