why not run them at separate times. 5 hrs sand pump then 5 hrs cartridge. There will be 2 skimmers and at least 2 returns, hadn't considered not connecting them, but its easy to not connect them. My thoughts are for the little effort of installing these pieces I already have, I'll cut filter...

Purchased one for $60, just received it. Actually bigger than I expected, about 9" diameter. light output is good for led and price. my pool apart so no water test but puts out plenty for mood lighting, not like a halogen, but I already have a dedicated halogen pool light. All in all I'm...

Revisited, Hayward c751 and bigger sand filter I understand simple, BUT, there's no kill like overkill! Well, 2 things have changed, 1st I was wrong about my sand filter, its the 21" Hayward 210. 2ndly I picked up a Hayward c751 cartridge filter at a yard sale today spare 1hp pump included...

Anyone try these? Found on ebay and Amazon, no reviews yet. My concern would be actual light output. If done they would be my 2nd and 3rd light, so there's a little room on light output. http://www.amazon.com/Swim-Time-NA4035- ... F8&coliid=

Hey guys I'll be doing some plumbing with a pool make over and have a few ideas. First off I've got a bunch of pumps and all items discussed I already have laying around. Pool is 16x24 doughboy 48" deep, 10,000 gallons. Previous owner's setup Hayward 16"sand filter, 1.5hp pump :hammer: was told...

Would the amps go up if pumping dry? Size the breaker close to running wet, say 15 amp instead of 20?

How about an inline water level float switch? Look for safety switch ss1 http://www.rectorseal.com/index.php?sit ... ct_id=2057 Tee from your suction side to 3/4", install height at the lowest water height you want. They have a tiny magnetic reed switch which comes setup to open the circuit on...

that is a good idea, hate to ruin my new liner right away!

I'm putting together ideas and pieces for my winter projects this year. I will be installing a new liner on my doughboy and I'll be adding extra returns and skimmer. I've been looking at a lot of water treadmill, swim currents etc. but very $$$ for this diy guy.I've found a 2" pvc solvent drain...

I'm thinking like this one, less contemporary more rustic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gipbCv6y ... re=related or these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWqJaGWt ... re=related hmm, youtube is awsome, I wonder if I combine all my pumps if I can "engineer" a poor man's swim jet...

Inground pools start around 25k in Austin TX. Its a bit rocky below a couple of feet, hence semi ground, and I'm negotiable on the deep end. It will be a lot of work for an above ground, I'm hoping the finish detail will conceal the fact its an agp and create more of a villa fountain look when...

okay, I watched all the doughboy installation videos this weekend. I see why it the excavation needs to be wider and why it probably cant be made skinnier. I'd still like to see others' experience with tying an inground with a seperate spa or cinderblock retaining walls around semi ingrounds and...

Thanks for the quick response. Here's a pic. Upon further discussion, I've found the pool is about 10yrs old. He said he installed it himself, and there aren't any buttresses rather an internal footing the pool sits on. I assumed I would need to overdig for plumbing, adjustments for layout and...

Hi, longtime reader and 1st time poster here! My family past the AGP test this season and as my winter project this year am considering semi burial of a doughboy. As luck would have it I have a friend of a friend who wants their 15x24' doughboy removed. It is currently set up completely above...
