    Yet another question about 120v to 12v conversion

    I've been reading topics all over the internet about converting a 120v incandescent pool light to 12v and I just can't seem to get a good feeling about it. Every thread I've read seems to have complications about shorted wiring, tripping GFCI, damaged conduit, etc... and seem to go off on a...

    Recently completed remodel (w/ pics) and a question

    Sorry about the late reply, but Yes, they did bring all the plaster back by hand. The pool color looks even better now. I could swear that the water color became a slight bit bluer after we added the salt and started the salt cell. I'm going to take some addional pictures and see if it is...

    Recently completed remodel (w/ pics) and a question

    I've recently had my 20x40x9 IG pool remodeled. We removed an old ladder, added a bench/exit in the deep end, added a tanning ledge, new step in spa, new skimmers, new tiles, new coping, and split the drains for safety. We used Smoke Sunstone as plaster, and fireglass tiles for toe-tiles...

    Equipment height above water level?

    That is good news. I'm sure it will be less than 3 feet after it is raised; probably only 2.5 feet.

    Equipment height above water level?

    My new flood insurance does NOT cover my new pool equipment, and judging from past events, it will be underwater some in the next flood. I was thinking about raising it up by about 8 inches, so the pump & heater electronics stay dry in the event of a flood. Does it matter much how much higher...

    What salt system for my setup?

    Thanks for the info. Knowing Eos was designed to work with Hayward makes the decision easier.

    What salt system for my setup?

    I read what you said earlier about Polaris and Hayward SWG systems being more compatible with my Eos Command Center and ORP. Jandy wasn't listed in that recommendation; was that an oversight, or intentional? I would have thought if the new company eliminated a product, the surviving product...

    What salt system for my setup?

    I read that the AutoClear Plus was discontinued when Polaris / Zodiac / Jandy merged just to lighten the number of competing products in their portfolio. Is that true, or is there something wrong with the product? I can't seem to find any one-single product dominating the opinion polls. Seems...

    I'm new here, so please bear with me... I did several searches, but didn't find the answers I was looking for. I'm remodeling my pool, and to save money for things I cannot do, I'm doing some of the work myself. Here is what I have: 20x40 oval w/ 9' deep end, and attached 4 person spa...
