I currently have a basic load center, separate timer for pump, SWCG doubled up on timer. Light was switched by breaker. I have been in the process of planning to replace light with 12v and am also considering repolaceing load center and consolidating into a dual timer, 8 breaker intermatic...

When replacing a light fixture that is in a wet niche, is the new fixture required to be UL Listed? I'm considering a fixture from sunseeker, but it is not UL. I would really like to go with the SS fixture, but don't want to do something wrong.

I will be leaving my pool unattended for 8 days. I have some minor algae, so I have raised up to slam level with LC. I have some trichlorchlorine pucks left from the previous owner, so I was going to throw one of those in a floating dispenser for the week. I plan on turning the filter off...

Repurposed an old voleyball net I had for the yard into pool volleyball, which quickly became moms favorite game. Used PVC to make the poles. With the net unclipped from the poles, we have a ring, about 12" diameter, that we made out of rope. You have to battle to get the ring on the other...

In pool math is there a way to log pump run time / speed changes and also SWG setting/percentage changes to track and record seasonal settings?

So, I'm one step forward and two steps back in fixing this pool and my conversion to salt. I added 8 bags of Diamond splash zone pool salt on Sunday. I added it through a net hanging over the side in front of the return. The net was to catch any rocks, etc. Each bag dissolved in about 5...

I have a stainless handrail that is supposed to mount in a socket at the top of the steps and another socket underwater in the pool. Both sockets were neglected and can no longer be used to clamp down on the rail. The rail will still slip into them but he plaster around the socket in the water...

Moved from old thread HERE I have this exact same noise going on. Pump outlet to multiport is solid, no leaks. Pump lid is tight, no leaks. No air showing through pump sight window. My valve sounds exactly like this. Any ideas on other tests or troubleshooting to find the cause? It's...

I know it needs a new gasket. In your experience, am I wasting my time? Was considering g putting g in a $150 led color changing bulb if the fixture is fine. Think it will clean up or is it too far gone?

I'm slowly going through every part of the pool that came with my house last year. I have bought and received a RJ60 SWG and plan to change the pool to salt. I've got all of the plumbing figured out in my head and will tackle soon. I have some electrical questions around that as well as the...

Just thought I'd share, works like a charm and only cost a few inches of a sacrificial noodle.

This is my SQOTD (stupid question of the day). This is probably simple and I'm over thinking it. When pool math suggests adding dry chemicals like borax and calcium chloride by weight, say 24oz, do I just fill my measuring cup up to 24oz like I do with wet chemicals, or do I need to do some...

I'm double checking that my filter and pump are correctly sized for my pool. They were changed by the previous owner. I have a super pump SP1610Z1M pump and a Hayward W3S200 filter. I have 1.5" supply line and a 2" return line. The inlet / outlet on the pump are both 1.5" and the variflo...

Have a 17500 gallon plaster pool, pebble finish. I have finally got the water balance to match the TFP levels and am going to go SWCG instead of my liquid regimen. I am leaning towards the IC60 (only because researching these things is like researching mattresses to me). I would like to re-do...

Now is the time for me to get the pool corrected. The previous owner used chlorine tablets exclusively and from their instructions they said to add one to the skimmer every two weeks. I ignored this and have been using liquid chlorine to adjust. The tabs had CYA in them, so my CYA is in the...

So my light fixture appears to have some water getting into it, maybe like an inch or so. I'd really like to replace it with a color changing LED. Is there a recommended fixture that will fit in the existing standard housing? Thanks!

I have a suction side cleaning port, but have been manually vacuuming. Was considering a suction side cleaner, but now after reading on here I am considering a robot. Pool is around 18k gallons and is concrete with a pebble finish. From reading on here, it sounds like the S200 might be the...
