    Now planning actually ordered salt water generator, looking at my light it says "for fresh water only". Will this work in a salt water pool? Is it still considered fresh water?

    Well that can be done too :) Guess I can go ahead and run the line between the pump and the filter!! As the picture shows. I have a long run between the filter and the first valve I could easily splice in the generator. http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w43 ... 28_733.jpg One snag I...

    Nearly all the plumbing at the equipment pad is finished The runs between the pump and filter is delayed to decide which swg to put in line there. http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w43 ... 28_733.jpg

The outside ring does not screw on. There are only two screws that retain the niche into the collar initially one at twelve and...

    An update on the build. The concrete collar was poured yesterday. Yeah. But the concrete guys put in extra braces leaning against the walls and happen to put one on the edge of the skimmer face. It pushed the top corner out of the hole slightly so that it is no longer flush with the inside...

    Well I live in the country where there is no inspections. I read mike Holt's explanation of article 860 and yes I am using listed splicing lugs. I am really interested in the question about the inside lug on the Hayward duration niche.
