Had a somewhat warm'ish 44 degree day so took advantage of doing more upgrades and improvements around the equipment pad area.
The spring laundry list has the following completed now:
* Replaced the grounding wires going to all my pumps.
* Added a heater bypass (woot, finally!)
* Completely redid the wiring mess for the 8 relays n the first of two Jandy RS panels I have (sorely needed, and no longer a mess!)
* Removed my infinity swim pump and associated plumbing (has been dead since I bought the house/pool and have no plans on ever using it)
* Cleaned up pool equipment pad area
* Ran the applicable RS-485 wires from 3 Pentair VSP pumps (installed at the end of last season) to the Multiplexer #2 in my Jandy RS-P16 controller.
* Cleaned up cabling/wiring, for the 3 remaining Jandy Single Speed pumps
* Mounted/installed my Stenner Pump with 7.5 gallon tank for MA dosing and plumbed in the feed/drip line
* Verified correct operation of all 6 pumps and 5 pool lights after re-wiring job and verified power to new Stenner Pump working correctly.
Very excited about the progress made today. Will drain pool in a week or so (assuming ice is fully melted by then) and get ready to refill in mid/late April. Got some potential dates already setup with the water tanker company. Most of all, the season I'm looking forward to dropping my $450/month electric bill (just for running the 6 pool pumps, not including -anything- else), down to around $80/month with the addition of 3 new VSPs. I already run all the math based on trying to keep them around 1600-1700rpms and the cost savings look substantial.
And I have my new Taylor reagents already ordered/received from the TF Test Kits special earlier this month too so ready for water/chemical testing! Thanks again to all TFP'er who have helped educate me over the last 2 years.
