At one point I did think of the light since the pvc is electrical conduit, but not knowing for sure I thought I would ask. Curiosity mainly. The other PVC line....curiosity also.

First time pool owner in the south, have never seen anything like this before. I don't have lights or a main drain, only thing I can come up with is that they are for ground water during install maybe? I imagine the water table in Louisiana brings about some different techniques for pool...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I'm not sure on the exact price difference, if there is one. From what I remember when comparing the features I would use were all there on both. My decision came from availability with a warranty being honored from online sale. It's...

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club That's correct, I have one coming this week. Less than $660 with 'handling' charge.

In response to the Circupool system, I have and RJ60+ and my pressure didn't go up any at all from pre-swg setup. Not sure if anyone else may have had a different experience though.

Just out of curiosity, would the Nautilus Plus be worth buying over the Nautilus? Just happens to be one of the models I have been looking at since I need to go a little lower on the $$$ for cleaner since I'm planning on upgrading pump/motor.

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with the pump and motor I have now except for the power draw. I barely need to run my Swg to keep up with chlorine demand. It's just a large amount of leaves/pine needles and pollen/flowers from trees in yard. It's been pretty stormy here and I've been running...

Unfortunately I don't think Beauregard electric has any rebates. I checked the other day. I'm going to do some double checking on my system(just bought house last year w/pool) as far as size and potential saving. Plus an automated cleaner of some sort is in the near future. I really...

Thats the part I wasn't sure of. I assume that the real benefit of VS over a 2spd is the fact that you can 'tune' the pump to your pool/setup/and equipment? Again, It's possible I'm way off here and not sure if the tunability would be more beneficial to me than 2spd with my current setup(which...

I really appreciate all the help. Rates here average out to about 9¢ based off my last bill. It not bad but it sure hurts to run the pump as much as I'd like sometimes. The VS sounds like the way to go for sure. From what I've read about them, since they are always wired hot, I was...

Thank you for your help. I was thinking along the same lines as what you describe. I work in a major chemical plant and have pumps exactly as you describe, so I understand the uses in those applications. It's just tough to apply that to needs VS. Wants in a residential sense. I guess the 2spd...

I'm absolutely loving our pool since going TFP and our recent addition of SWG. However, lately I've been wanting to lighten up our power bill since our Hayward super pump is a power hungry monster. We have a lot of trees by our pool that my wife hates since the squirrels use it for target...

Very interesting, I was brainstorming something in that ball park. I'm going to have to do some looking around for a pump now. Thank you so much. TFP saves the day again.

Well I finished installing my Circupool RJ60 system. I got everything going over the weekend as far as chemical balance for swg per pool school. I have a question about pH and TA though. Since my swg system is tied into my timer for my pump, they both turn on and off together obviously. My...

I appreciate all the help. Going with the 60k, most likely Circupool for no real reason other than size and no serious complaints. Hopefully all goes well and I know where to turn once things get going if I require any help.
