    re-plastered with NPT Stonescape Mini Pebble and aerating to bring up PH to be able to bring down TA

    So I just got finished with re-plastering my pool with NPT Stonescape Mini Pebble in Aqua Blue. Looks great and am happy with it. However, they asked me if I wanted a pool startup for $600. I said yes, but when the guy came out he said he just balance the chemicals and scrub the pool for 2...

    Need Help Identifying Unknown Parts that blew out of Pool Return Pipe

    Hayward Ecostar and Heater wiring

    I'm replacing my single speed WhiperFlo 2HP pump with a EcoStar Variable speed pump. And I'm looking over the wiring realizing that the existing mechanical timer cuts the power to both the pump and the heater to prevent the heater from being on when the pump is off. Well I'm planning on using...
