Tesla Model S. Great for bleach and muriatic acid runs - with the front and rear trunks, it carries more than a small SUV! Here's a picture of it charging at the Houston Galleria center right after delivery:

The first picture shows the connections from the breakers to the relays. Red wire carries one leg of the 240v current, purple carries the other leg. The breaker goes to filter pump, and the other relays that need 240v power are jumped from the line in terminals of filter pump (for example aux...

Not the heater, but the pump that pushes the water through the filter to the heater. What is the model of the pump? If you don't know, you can take a picture of the pump label and post it here.

Is this a hayward universal h-series heater? I don't see it in your signature, but if it is "LO" means low flow. The heater isn't getting enough flow from your pump. If you have a two speed or variable speed pump try putting the pump in higher speeds. Then run the heater again and let it...

Got it. I ordered a 24VAC transformer (the ones typically used for HVAC relays) and will install it to one of the AUX relays. Thanks! ---EDIT--- Actually, one more thing. When I wire the transformer, should I wire it after the GFCI socket so the transformer is also protected with GFCI? Or...

Hi. Quick question: The extended instructions for the CYA test in TF-100 test kit tell me to "allow the water sample to warm up to room temperature (70) before continuing". I did the test for a friend with water that was at 61 degrees. Is there a difference in the end result that is large...

I read this: http://poolsolutions.com/gd/hiphpool.html from Ben's website and it seems that, in some specific situations, a higher pH level (8.0) could be beneficial, or at the very least, not harmful. I'm currently experimenting on my pool; I will post results back soon.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone on this forum that has helped me keep my pool in perfect condition from day 1 - the pool has truly been trouble free. The only thing that surprises my pool builders more than me telling them about using bleach instead of trichlor is how crystal clear...

Ok Bama Rambler. I will disconnect the ozonator and see what happens. Thanks!

The pool is still relatively new (~6 months) but from the day the pump was turned on little air bubbles have been coming out of the return. Like champagne bubbles. There is an ozonator that the pool builder threw in for free so I expect a couple bubbles. I don't know if there have been more...

At the bottom of the skimmer there used to be a couple wraps of teflon tape on the connection between the skimmer and pvc pipe to the pump. Curiosity got the best of me, and after picking at the teflon tape and inserting a vacuum hose into the suction port in the skimmer the teflon tape got...

Cold front came through Houston, TX: 77 degrees!

Thanks for the response. I do have a question - we are using a Hayward Ecostar 2.5hp variable speed pump. At maximum power with 30 feet of head, the pump can push 166 gpm. Do you think I can avoid putting in a lip at the bottom? The only extra factor that complicates this problem, however...

Our pool build is currently in progress (will post photos when I have more time), but I have a question. The original design for the pool includes a 10ft "water wall". It has a stacked stone front and is raised 18". The water is supposed to flow out of an very narrow opening (like a sheer...
