I have a long run (~130 ft) to pull a globrite wire. I want to use lube to facilitate the pull. A couple of questions: - What lube should I use? - How should I use it? I've done a bit of research and this is what I found: I see folks recommending Liquid Dawn, others some 3M product. I was...

I've got a couple of lights that seem to be broken and I'm looking for replacements (as well as instructional videos about how to go about doing the swap). They're about 3 inches in diameter. What kind of light is it? I thought they were intellibrite, but the pictures I see online seem to have...

When I opened my EasyTouch panel to wire my new blower to a relay, I noticed a couple of relays had a wiring I could not make sense of. Here are the pictures: I don't understand the purpose of this wiring: it seems #4 and #6 are being used to connect wires together irrespective of the relay...

Per this post #18 , I will be adding a blower to my air intake pipe. Now I'd like to set it up such that when I turn on the spa, the blower turns on automatically. I think this involves picking an unused relay in my ET8 to wire the power to the blower, but then I'm wondering how to...

My pool has a basin that is used as part of an autofill mechanism: the pump pulls water from the basin and re-injects it into the pool, which then spills it back into the basin. As the pool water evaporates, this cycle makes the level in the basin drop because the water from the basin is used...

My return path is shown in the diagram below. After the SWG, the water is split in 2 branches: one that goes to the valve that gets actuated through the automation system (EasyTouch) when switching between pool & spa modes, and another one that bypasses that valve and allows for a continuous...

My spa doesn’t have a dedicated blower. Instead there seems to be an air intake pipe that emits gargling sounds when I set my system in spa mode. That pipe is near the pool equipment, which is about 30 feet from where the spa is. When I turn on the spa mode, I hear the pump ramp up, and the...

New to testing my water. Bought a kit from tftestkits.net . I'm wondering where I should be throwing away the test tube content after each test. Is it safe to throw down the kitchen sink? Where do you folks dispose of the chemical test by-products? TIA

Looking for manual/instructions & parts (pressure gauge busted needs replacement). TIA

Hi, Is it important to have the heat-pump first in the flow (before the gas heater), or does the order not matter? Thanks for your insights

Hi, I'm getting a little confused with the Raypak heat pump SKUs. I asked my pool guy to get an 5450, and he told me his supplier got one with part number 016012. When I look at Raypak Heat Pump 5450 Model 103K BTU | Titanium Heat Exchanger | Digital Controls | M5450ti-E 016012 R5450ti-E 016010...

Hi everyone, I'm looking into adding a heat pump (~100kBTU, ~5 kW) to my pool to extend swimming season. My PV array overproduces a lot, so I have no concerns about energy costs. From my internet research, it appears that GFCI breakers aren't required by NEC code for a 230V Heat Pump such as...

Hi everyone, I've bought a house in Orange County and it came with a pool. I'm finally able to focus a bit on it and want to learn how it works as I'm a pool newbie. The pool is in ground gunite, with spa overflowing in pool, and pool overflowing into a basin. Estimate 20 Kgal. As far as I...
