    Spa Blower Piping

    When the plumbers set the equipment pad, they roughed the 2 inch PVC line that the spa blower line is attached to right in front of a kitchen window.

    Stonescapes install

    After 3 weeks of waiting on a Pebble Sheen install, I was able to source a well known installer in the area that had an opening. He uses Stonescapes Mini Pebble and my PB was happy to use him.

    Pentair Challenger 2hp pump issue

    I've been keeping this old Pac-Fab (now Pentair) Challenger 2hp pump alive but I think I'm ready to throw in the towel. The easy button is to buy and replace in kind since it is all unioned up. I'm ready to go go something more 21st century. I have a Frankenstein setup with a Jandy Aqualink...
