    Drowning Prevented

    My kids are not allowed on pool deck unless an adult is outside with them. The two older ones can stand in the pool but the younger ones can't and must have a life jacket on when on the pool deck. The pool deck has a locked gate as well joining to the regular deck. Sent from my HTC amaze...

    Pool Pump Grounding Issue

    Also just read this http://www.alanwire.com/tech/conduit.html tells you how many wires you can fit. In that pipe if it is 14awg you can fit a lot more than 6 :-) Sent from my HTC Ruby using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Pool Pump Grounding Issue

    How long is the run? Tie twine to a wire. Pull the wire out the other end. Attach VERY SECURLY a ground, and the other wire. I use wire lube (yellow 77) and pull it through. As long the wires aren't rotted in there, and the pipe is in food shape you'll be fine.... Try to see if you have slack on...

    my water comes out orange.. eventually the water should clear up, you'll find the iron seems to settle like a powder on the bottom.. (at least thats what I think it is) the filter doesnt catch it, so I vacuum to waste after a good rain fall.. and loose a good bit of it.. I find after the first...
