    Pump Automatic Timer...wifi switch?

    Yeah it's 220. Why wouldn't I need a neutral? So I would just need to wire in something like the wion box? It's not available anymore, is there something else like it you would recommend?

    Pump Automatic Timer...wifi switch?

    Hello everyone, First thanks for all being so helpful so far, my pool is running great and never looked better. I'm trying to find the best way to run my filter in off peak hours / when I'm not home. I was thinking of hooking up a wifi switch, but they require a neutral, which I don't think I...

    How long to run my filter?

    Thank you sir. So if I keep tye solar cover on most of the day how long do you think I would need to run it to ONLY mix the chemicals, if the cover is on? Also any tips for stopping my solar cover from dumping all the debris in the pool everytime I roll with my roller?

    How long to run my filter?

    It's single speed and generally doesn't get very dirty outside of storm/rains - or when some trees around drop their peddles, cottonwood, etc. I usually run it 4-8 hours a day depending on how many people are swimming, surface stuff like I mentioned, etc. Thanks for the tips.

    Perfectly clear. The walls are fine, there's still a little debris on the bottom (probably some dead algae but I'm gonna vac today. When I opened and went to the pool store 24 hours later with a sample they said CC was 1, there was a chlorine lock and I needed to add A TON of chlorine. I...

    SLAM required?

    Thanks. Just opened er up in Michigan, and trying to warm it up quick, but I figured some of the combined chloramines would get burned off by the sun so I've been keeping the solar cover off. Is it possible to burn off enough of the combined chlorine without reaching the SLAM level? Just...

    SLAM required?

    Oh, during all this process can I use the solar cover during the day? Or do I want the sun to burn off some of the chlorine?

    Hello!

    This is my third year with an in ground pool, and after going it alone year one, relying on the pool store year two, I'm going to take it back in my hands with some deeper knowledge for year 3. The store said I had a chlorine lock and wanted me to dump 20 gallons of chlorine in my pool, which...
