    Water Feature Upgrade Help

    Need help, suggestions, advice on what to do with this water feature. I'm about to undergo a large overhaul of the pool. New liner, and patio needs to be re-layed/re-leveled. Disregard the mess as I'm getting the area ready for the season. I inherited this pool, all it's choices, and all...

    Stenner Integration Timer Question 240V

    So I'm working through trying to integrate a Stenner for chlorine injection into my pool equipment. Currently I have a 240V 2 Wire single speed pump. I don't have nor can I practically get a 120V circuit to the pump location. From what I gather this somewhat ties my hands with what I can do...
