I am installing a solar panel array (Heliocol) on a patio roof. As shown in the picture below, the feed and return lines come down from the roof along a vertical post, then continue into the ground where they run horizontally about 25' before turning straight upwards to the pool equipment pad...

thanks, no real winds at all at the moment, I think the jets are very stong and do push the debris around

This gunite pool has two returns (circled in red) and one skimmer on the far side. Pump is a one-speed and return strength is very strong. The eyeball on the back return near the steps is pointed down 45 degrees and straight ahead towards the far wall. The eyeball on the left sidewall return is...

I guess I could buy one of those twist lock-to regular 3-prong adapters, then change plug on pump to 3-prong and then use another adapter to plug both pump and SWG into same outlet. Is that bad idea?

It's one of those single outlet circular pronged pump outlets. I don't know if possible to double that up.

Apologies if this has already been covered in prior posts. What is recommended way to wire new SWG control unit to same timer controlling the pump? See my setup below. Power from panel comes in from below (120V 40A), runs to pump plug-in box, which also feeds light switch box and GFI outlet...

I have that Acquabag filter on the return line and it is supposed to start showing brown or green color of the trapped iron after a few minutes. It's been running for an hour and still white ... They make a different finer-mesh filter for copper.

I've now finished filling, using an ecoone filter on the hose at all times. As soon as I added chlorine, water went to the dark greenish color shown below. Green is supposed to be copper, iron supposed to be brown. Would fresh filtered well water have that much copper in it? Dutchess County...

Sorry, it's a different house/pool, this one is upstate. The water actually runs through a filter and water softener before going out to pool . . . To get the iron out, does TFP believe in a return line filter, like "acquabag", or the Metal Out chemical product?

Our gunnite pool was recently emptied and resurfaced (epoxy). I am slowly refilling it now by hose from house well water. Once I got to about halfway (12,000 gallons) I added one bottle of liquid chlorine and turned on the pump, using only main drain suction. The water had been crystal clear but...

I'm in Dutchess County, New York and we are installing an aluminum pool fence similar to one shown in the picture below. The fence is within 5 ft of the pool edge along three sides and further than 10 ft away on the remaining side. The electrician says he is required by code to bond each...

Also noting that an inline water bonding device would only be in contact with the water when the pump is running.

Thanks, all. No lighting in pool. By "metal frame" I meant the rebar.

Electric inspector says the water itself needs to be bonded, not just the metal frame and pool equipment etc.

I am converting an old cement chlorine pool to SWG. There is no water bond device in old setup so we will add this at pool equipment pad while doing the SWG conversion. Can the new inline zinc anode double as water bond or only when using the "Pool Defender" product as shown below? If not, is...

I have the same issue -- did you figure it out? Tx

No, no pollen. The robot baske comes up largely empty after running for 2 hours, though a fair amounth of what looks like concrete powder. I dont know if that means that concrete is crumbling or its dead algee or why it would go from crystal ckear to entierly clowdy just from running the robot

Pool had finally become crystal clear after opening up to green water and going through SLAM process. For past week, water is clear to the bottom, all levels within TFP ranges. This morning I decided to throw in my Dolphin robot to help remove any debris from floor. It's been running fine for a...
