wouldn't it possible to just use your pool pump and discharge to waste? Hook up a vacuum hose to your skimmer and leave it at the bottom of the pool.

Sounds like it has to be the three way... if you've inspected it and still have issues.. replace the thing.

Re: New Pool Build in SW Austin, TX If that was mine... I'd shift the spa closer to the side with the wood deck, and put a fire pit somewhere in that ocean of decking.

Start each session off with a quick jump and cannon ball.. works on mine

Re: New Pool Build in SW Austin, TX I have an LED light on my tanning ledge.. love it I have 2 LED in my Pool and love the extra light Get a VS pump and automation Extra Skimmer Make them include connecting the gas line to the heater. I don't see what that should be excluded from the bid...

Geez.. I might not have built my pool if I had read your thread before starting mine. I sent you a PM.. I think your girlfriend went to work for my pool builder.

My pump system is designed to discharge water from a hose spigot on the pump discharge, no issues.

The majority of transient events will make their way into your electrical system through your service entrance panel to the house. That should be your highest priority for quality surge protection. Transients can also be generated within your house/pool equipment area so locating a quality...

Best pH For Lawns | How to Raise or Lower pH in Lawns

The manual has a nice drawing of how to pipe in proper supply air to the heater as well as spatial requirements.

Location of the SPD has a lot to do with how well it will perform. The Surge protection device runs in parallel to your connected loads. The longer the wiring from the panel to the SPD the greater the impedance will be in the circuit and the clamping voltage will increase. It is possible to...

Between the Eaton and SQD unit, I'd choose SQD. It is type 1 listed which mean it can be installed upstream of the service disconnect without requiring a circuit breaker. The fact that the Eaton unit requires a 50A breaker does not mean it has twice the surge current rating. The Eaton unit...

I sell surge protection for a living.. unfortunately the surge protection I sell costs more than all my pump equipment... For an inexpensive surge protection device that is actually worth while see if you can source a Josyln Transend unit. It is made by the manufacture that builds the...

Make sure you have proper ventilation and carbon monoxide detectors in the house/garage

I had this exact issue. It was a bad o ring in the 3 way valve that diverted from either spa drain or skimmer/Main drain. Pool builder replaced the valve internals and Orings and the problem went away. I could run on spa drain all day and have no issues, if I rotated to pull from skimmer/main...

My 3HP pump running at 3000RPM isn't as loud as my HVAC. However... my pool equipment is on the side of my house near my patio area ~15ft and I wish I could have located further away. In the grand scheme its not a deal breaker for me as the cost to located it on the far side of the house was...

24VDC is not derived from a transformer.

I'd get a jig saw or sawzall blade and work it back and forth by hand until the pebble comes undone.

Make sure the Neutral for the Light isn't landed on the GFCI breaker for the pumps etc...

10-4, just bird poop

Thanks - I'll probably keep it closed from now on and only open up when brushing the pool.

My pool has a 3HP Intelliflow VS pump. I have dedicated piping for the main drain and each skimmer. My pool builder said I should keep the main drain valve 100% open and the two skimmer valves about 50% open. When the pool runs in pool mode(1800 rpm) I get almost no visible draw into the...

I'd pour 10 gallons of gasoline in my pool and set it on fire if I found that

Isn't it possible to shutoff the Main drain and hook a vacuum hose to the skimmer? Or in the absence of a main drain, just hookup a hose to the skimmer.

A Pool builder is just a general contractor at heart... Ask them to build it using the materials you want if you think it will cost less. I couldn't imagine starting a new construction project directly overhanging my new pool

Are you saying you think it would be a good idea to have the wall/planter built behind the pool after the pool is finished? If a planter/retaining wall needs permits, I don't see why the pool doesn't.

Regarding the comment about the wet deck.. I decided to go 18" to have a nice large surface to sit on and be submerged in the water. We have a step and then the wet deck. I personally didn't see the value in chewing up swim-able real estate with a ~6" deep ledge. Your mileage may vary, but...

It works just fine from the software. I can get it to operate from my laptop or Iphone. The issue is when I put it into the automation schedule it doesn't do anything. I want to use the spillway feature to turnover the water in the spa instead of keeping the manual spa return always on...
