Just a general thank you and testimonial of sorts. I hope this finds someone who is considering following the TFP method of pool care! At the start of this pool season, I stumbled across a pool forum that I had visited in the past when looking up random pool questions. This time, I took the...

With paint

Not perfect. There was some trial & error with plumbing in the horizontal U and some rookie mistakes (ie priming the outside of the cell unions 🤦‍♂️). Now I need to paint. Thinking Almond Rustoleum?

I finished my install a couple days ago and have been running the RJ for 24 hrs. Couldn’t have done it without your help! Thank you!

To protect the power cord coming from the SWG controller to pool electrical panel. Not needed? Thank you

This might be a dumb question but I’ve got the timer trippers in my basket and I noticed they sell pre-wired 10awg conduit. Since I’ll want the whip for the Circupool Control panel to pool subpanel. I was wondering if I could just use the 10 gauge that comes with the whip to power my timer from...

This was my original plan (horizontal U) but I only have 9” of pipe between the filter and the 90. I think I need 9.5” of pipe for the U: 6.5” gap plus 1.5” on either side to fully insert into the unions of the U. Will do. You have been a great help on my other thread discussing the electrical...

Aerator water features.

@HermanTX @Texas Splash - thanks for your responses to this thread. So I did some more detailed measuring and I have 9” of pipe between the filter union end and the union for the 90 degree. This is the pipe I’m planning to cut in for a horizontal U to make room for the cell and flow switch. The...

Got it. In either case, I am fine keeping the SWG at its standard 240V or do I need to change it to 120? Thanks again!

Got it. Thank you for helping me understand. The alternative would be to leave the pump power attached as is to the breaker instead of line 1 on the timer. I would still need to supply power to the timer. Is there any advantage to having the pump powered from the breaker directly vs the timer?

This is what I was leaning towards. So just to confirm: 1) wire the pump breaker to the timer. Could I just snip some wire off the SWG to use for this connection? 2.) attach pump power to the line side of timer. Will this provide continuous power to pump? 3) attach SWG to the load side so...

How would you wire the RJ45 to my electrical panel? My VS pump goes straight to the breaker for continuous power. There is a timer that doesn’t appear to be hooked up to anything.

I was curious what that 1/4” return line was for labeled fixed nozzle. I opened it all the way and this in deck chlorinator/tab feeder started overflowing with water

Think I should have enough pipe for the horizontal U?
