Hey all! After a two-year battle with a wacky light set up, I think I’ve got it all sort of figured out. My original light fixture seem to be shorting and I didn’t realize I had a junction box underneath my diving board, looks like some shotty wire nut twisting caused some wires too short...

Hey All, So - I think I have it narrowed down my issues - and I think I just have to replace the fixture....but I want to be sure I'm not missing something! I put in a new bulb to the fixture to test everything out - Here's what I have. -Tested the bulb with continuity (base of the bulb) -...

I have been trying to troubleshoot my light from my pool for a few seasons now. Seems to work for a month or so, then fail with a broken filament. I’ve been through two lights now. When I moved in the house had a 500 W/120 V light that didn’t work, I figured since I had a 12 V transformer I put...

So, partially my fault....When I bought a salt water chlorinator they sent me a borate test kit, not salt … So I was testing borates and dumping and salt! Salt strips tell me I’m about 4200 ppm, but my RJ 60+ is telling me all over the place anywhere from 4600 to 3900. I’m guessing reducing by...

Hey TFP'ers! Finally got my RJ60+ installed and running (with a slight replumb to make it all nice!). Pretty great! My final question is looks like the flow switch is sensitive enough to register flow even at very low RPMs on my VS pump. My typical pump schedule is as follows: 1200 rpm -...

I convinced myself I'm going with an SWG this season....and at the tail end of the last season, I realized my heater had been plumbed in backward as well! Not the end of the world, but...there is limited space already and I'm thinking a replumb would make room for all the new stuff and fix my...

I think I'm finally doing it - tired of lugging bottles of bleach too and fro! My pool has a fairly low 24 consumption - not too much more than 1-1.5ppm. I'm leaning towards a unit that can pump out as near 2.0lb per 24 hour period since I have a VS pump. My VS pump runs high for 4 hours or...

I think I'm getting closer and closer to SWG - but having a tough time deciding between the two. I have ~27k pool - and looking at all the calculators and math junk, either seems OK. I know it's generally bigger the better for SWG, but is the 55 overkill? I only lose about 1ppm of FC per day...

Starting up the 2nd season of my pool - and finally looked long enough at the plumbing matrix of valves, holes, cut pvc, etc....and I think that the previous owner had some roof solar panels...and wanted to see if it might be worth setting some back up! Here are some pictures to show what I'm...

Hi All, I'm about to start the process of my first slam - pool was left alone for 4/5 days without chlorine and got a tiny hint of green in it. Everything level wise is spot on but it is staying cloudy every time I brush it back down (about a week now) - I typically only run my variable speed...

Hi TFP'ers! First post on here - just moved into a house last fall and getting my first pool up and running! I'm a former pool tech (a long time ago though) so I'm slowly remembering all the fun I had "back in the day"! I finally had our propane tanks filled this week and got a chance to fire...
