Sharing this in case it helps others, even if only to overcome hesitation. Using a shop vac to excavate was an unplanned but happy innovation. Flex PVC may have some limitations, but I’d rather take my chances there than another elbow fail. Also, super happy the issue was accessible, all things...

Just ordered my 614iq from Margaret at Marina. She's terrific and helpful. $150 less into Bezos' pocket. Thanks to Jim and the TFP community for the usual robust and insightful discussion. My 6+ year old Doheny's Discovery powered by Dolphin gave up the ghost (and I'm a DIY-er but not interested...

Any thoughts on why I might be getting a low flow alert on my Intellichlor SWG? My flow meter says 50 gpm. I know it’s not the most accurate, but useful for baseline, relative readings. The issue has only cropped up in the past week. Salt levels are fine at 3200 ppm. Here are recent levels...

Ask at your local fire station if they have any 1.5" hose they are retiring. I got three 50' lengths and ordered an adapter for the 2 different thread standards. No more tearing, cheap thin vinyl hoses. Could be a better option for you than trenching, unless you already need to address drainage...

Swam! Still a great way to Cooper while doing chores. Love my heater in Sept and beyond!!

Back in town, so full set of tests. Cleaned skimmers, pump basket. Ran robot. Added acid. Added CYA. Gonna swim today! Hot tub tonight! Temp 83.

Today, I’ll be cleaning up around the pool area. Because teenagers. Almost 30 of them. One noise complaint handled and we declared victory!

Ran a bank of tests. FC 3.0 CC 0 pH 8.2 TA 110 CH 300 CYA 40 Salt 3000 Bor 30 CSI 0.5 Temp 82 Added 128 oz Muriatic acid. Hung the sock with 2 lbs CYA. Headed out later to pic up a few bags of salt and some Driveway Heat (if I can find that in August!) and replenish the stabilizer and acid...

I need to calibrate my automation system water sensor. It was reading 76, but getting in I know it was at least 88 to 92. Any quick cheap tips for calibrating?

I'm thinking of building a PVC return fountain... and shifting my schedule to only run the pump at night and in the early morning hours. My understanding is it will warm less (i.e. only the top inches) during the day and circulate to cool after sundown... with exceptions, of course. Like...

Ran a set of tests. Added 64 oz Muriatic acid. Back to near perfect. Then the lawn crew came! :shock:

84 on a rainy 74 deg day.

86 so far today... have my buddy's brood coming over to enjoy this afternoon. Only 20% chance of thunderstorms... July in the Mid-Atlantic!

Ran the robot... that blur underwater...

Previous owners did ours in preparing to sell. It was a frog pond from neglect, but I have a soft spot for rehabs... Not the same, I know. But we got this out of the deal... Good luck and have fun, OP!!
