    Adding a gas heater - plumbing layout

    Hey - I currently have an 8x20 solar panel heating that I put in last summer. It does a good job, when we have sun. This year I purchased a gas heater and want to add it in. I put the solar in using 3/4" black tube, moreso as a trial. This year I'll be replumbing it with 1.5" PVC. The manual...

    Inspect Cell on New AquaTrol

    Hey - I have a new AquaTrol Return Jet Mount SWG. For some reason, the Inspect Cell Light comes on and the unit never seems to generate chlorine. Here's a photo of the unit and my setup: One thing that I find odd, is that the instructions reference plugging in the pump into the SWG...
