Ah this makes sense now! I've really only done outlets, switches and lighting in my home so now I see how 240V is different. It makes sense why the wires are Red and Black instead of Black and White, as both are "hot". I find electrical fascinating, I should really see if there are part time...

I'm replacing the mechanical timer for my pool equipment. The replacement model is a Tork 1109A-O. I have attached the below wiring diagrams. I have my line and then will have two loads from the timer. Load A: VS Pump. I want this to always be on. The pump has a schedule set in the control...

Right manual said no plugs, not even to lift the cover. I'll see if my unions can be disconnected and attached the blower to there.

Awesome thank you! I should have said my concern is that there is no drain with my heat pump. Filter drain has been pulled and opened and cleaned out.

I'm trying to make sure that all my equip lines are blown out. I have a Cyclone blower. I blew down the suctions lines for the skimmer and main drain by inserting the blower into the skimmer basket. I then blew down the return lines after my SWG to get the jets done. Where should I hook my...

I figire this might be worth a shot. It is water related after all. Anyone know what model this is? I found a label with the Pentaid logo

As you can see a brown "stain" has formed on my pool. Is this dirt scale? No amount of brushing seems to get rid of it. Do I need to take care of this before I close or can it wait until the spring?

I've been reading all the posts and is seems like there are various ways to blow your pool lines. I think I'm targeting blowing lines from the pump housing back towards the main drain and skimmer. And then blowing through the pump (direction of water flow) and equipment to get the returns. I...

I've experienced some widening of paver joints on my pool deck and a hardscape guy said it was due to the pool cover and ice in the winter. I am in NH and have used a pool cover in the past. It turns to a block of ice on top and he says that weight pulls on the anchors and pavers. He...

Same. How long is it for discount codes?

Finally time to replace my SWG, but I cannot find an IC40 in stock that's not a crazy price. Anyone have any leads? Looks like I might be doing liquid chlorine this summer

I took a picture of the terminals set up to confirm. The two circled are the red and black for the pump. I'm thinking that I move them as shown in the picture.

I'm constantly learning about my pool setup and have a question regarding a mechanical 24 hr on/off timer. My pool has one with the equipment that controls power to the SWG and VS Pump. I had it setup so the mechanical switch was disengaged (removed the trippers) and the VS Pump just ran its...

Thank you for the response! There aren't many pool builders around me so it might take some months to get someone out here. I'll keep an eye on the water level.

We opened our pool today and I found some watrerline tile and grout pieces on the bottom. The tile is from the corner of my skimmer and the grout is from that side also. I'm in the Greater Boston area so it has to be ice issues. Background: This pool came with the house we purchased about a...

Is there a general rule of thumb for determining the patio size given a pavilion size? We want to extend our pool patio to accomdate a pavilion. The patio would be done now and the pavilion added in the future.

I'm racking my brain to try and figure out an automation solution for my setup. Picture of the setup attached. (the gray box is a rotary timer, which keep "on" all the time") I was looking at the intelliconnect given its price point and the simplicity of my pool (16k gal SW, one light, heater...

Waiting for a two day stretch of no rain, over 40 degrees, and where I don't have a honey do list. That's probably never happening

I bought a house with a pool outside of Boston this spring and noticed issues with the expansion joint. I'm referring to the expansion joint between the coping and paver pool deck. It seemed to be deteriorating in some places and the expansion joint is of varying widths. Upon closer...
