Nobody has an old battery box they are willing to sell?

I have a Pool Blaster Centennial that uses the Battery box PN P21x003LIV2. I found that the small circuit within it with the Relay is bad. in particular the One and only Diode on it. Compatible with the pool vacuums under the following Model Numbers (could be found on the silver sticker on...

I feel I will mount a treated 4x4. I have a two ft high 4x4 next to the pump that has power for the pump and an open receptacle for the chlorinator. It should be ok to put it about 2 ft away from the pool and 3 or 4 ft from power or as far as that power cord will reach. (Opinions?) I know the...

I'm installing a Salt Chlorine Generator a CircuPool RJ-30, and cannot think of a method to mount the control unit. 1. I could mount it to the Upright support column, but is that OK? 2. Mount a 2x8 treated board on the column and then mount to it? 3. I could mount a 4x4 post and mount the...

One return jet is about center of the straight portion, 3 ft down is the skimmer, I was wondering if I put the new return about 1/3 way around the corner which would be another 5 foot. the two return jets would be about 9 or 10 ft apart. Should I rent a Electricians Knockout punch to get a...

My 18 x 32 Oval currently has the only discharge port about in the middle of the straight edge. I would like to add a second port to get a better flow to allow the skimmer to work better. I want to do this BEFORE I add water for the season. Where would be the best location to put the...

Thank you for the fast replies. MDRAGGER, I do not have a heater and it is normally the end of May before the water temps get useable. This is cental Indiana, the cool spring nights keep the water below 75F until around the end of May, when I will be leaving. I do have a Timer and can run an...

I was needing help on Opening, but not totally opening..... I filled my 14000gal above ground with about 50% city water. I left the cover ON, Yes I peeked under, and it was Very clean. I added 1 Gal of 12% Chlorine. Ran the pump for two days. I didn't remove the cover because I will be on...

End view on my pool. sorry not much details.

I don't thing it will straiten any more. It "looks" as though the posts are not lined up straight and also at different levels. My Oval pool has strong metal that goes under the pools about 4 foot and then the ends are tied together with a plate about 20 inches wide that covers all four straight...

Thank you for your comments. But seems there is no real answer other than personal preference. Dang it. I was hoping someone would give good reasons or bad reasons to try to change my mind. I'm kind of a scaredy cat at design, alway think that later I would think I should have done it Option B...

I'm trying to decide if I should build my new deck over the top plate, at the same Level, or under the edge. I understand there "Must" be room for the Winter Cover of at least an inch gap. Allowing for this gap it seems to me hanging over would be best. The cover could easily fit in between the...

Great info Rajung, Thank you
