Remember this, if you R running a profitable business, it's a tax deduction. Yes you need the money upfront. I had a customer that was a personal trainer, they build a sport court addition on one end and a huge addition on the other and made the upstairs a full gym. It's nearly all tax...

If you replace it, LED lights don't attract bugs. Light goes to j box, from their it could go to an outlet maybe even a GFCI outlet, or it goes to the switch. But really it could go anywhere. But the normal logical places are above. Use a tester and check for power at the jbox.

The TF kit is the best. In time it will pay for itself. Keep that in mind.

No expert here, but here is my exp. I had same issue last summer but after the winter with snow melt n rain, my TA was less n now ph hardly moves. With the SWG I rarely do anything to pool this year. Test to check, n brush n skim occasionally other then that, I don't do jack. It all is working...

I saw a 1.5 hp in ground in Home Depot for $398. Won't last 20 yrs heck probubly not 5 but should for a few at least Flo tech I believe it was

We had a "supercell" few yrs back. After the I first scary as **** down pour ended n our property survived the creek n from the hills run off. I pulled a Lt Dan like in forest Gump. Boy what a mistake, we then got 8" in only 3 hours. Had to build a dam around back of house n move my cars so they...

I have a pool n separate hot tub. When I got this test kit last year, I felt same way as you. This year I used the test kit on my hot tub. After only using the spa store chemicals (same BS as pool store supplies) the cya was way high. It was clear on the test. I even had to do the diluted test...

I on second season with dolphin I think it's the 4, vinyl pool with two floor drains. It has never gotten stuck on them. Maybe it could, but I haven't had the issues. It doesn't get stuck in deep end or any issues at all. I only vacuumed when yard was straw n dirt before grass and other then...

Comic relief... Look at the box where it says u need basic tools and a few friends. Everything is simple print, but the few friends on my box were drawn not as stick figures, but as muscle bound Giants! Lmao I installed a 24' in 2005 with a wife (pregnant) father son n one friend 4 people. We...

Hey all, I have this pump only a year old and about two weeks ago all was fine with it. Now I try to turn on my deck jets with my automation system and they start to work, then the pump shuts off. I tried any sting rpm, check all I can see with my eyes, and there is no blocks or issues visible...

Auto correct sucks...not Moran, was supposed to say not an expert on....

Moran expert on this, but bonding is typically for safety of stray voltage. Usually very minimal voltage, but enough to cause issues. First discovered on farms where cows were now producing milk because of the minimal shock. With that said, stray voltage and lack of good grounds and bonds can...

One season on my old AG pool and my handles broke, had to use channel locks on it. When pool was gone I happily smashed the ball valves with a hammer. Never again. New IG only has Jandy valves. Worth the small (overall) price cost.

Everything about them can be a pain and an eye sore. But they work! Mine went on n in 2 days raised temp from 55 to about 62 with air temp only in upper 70s, in southern PA. I'm still working on the eye sore solution for when it's not in the pool.

Nobody NEEDS automation, however there is a convenient factor, and super cool factor. No different then lighting automation in a home. Automation is great for turn valves, controlling lights and the heater and pumps. Yes you can program them at the equipment, but if you R in your house or on...

My only two cents, as a contractor, not pools electrician, everytime I bought anything from harbor freight that has a motor, burns up real quick. I doubt u will be drain pool often, I would rent a good pump n skid anything from harbor freight unless is a basic hand tool.

By the way, different areas have different enforced rules, so this may not even be a real issue anyhow.

It's about heating up. Is job being inspected? If it was my own house, n not inspected, then it's fine. It's kinda just a technicality. But the theory is the Romex is rated for heat then inside pipe it could get hotter. People run Romex in pipe all the time, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Looks good. Ofcourse someone would say you aren't supposed to put Romex in pvc, but as long as it's not buried pvc, (where water gets in it, because it does and will) then it looks good.

Yes that's single phase. It's how the power comes from the transformer how it gets the name single phase or three phase. That is clearly single phase. You are gonna need a ground bar. The one in there needs to remain isolated from the can. It is your neutral bar. You need 4 wires running out to...

One gust and it could be gone if empty. I had an AG some yrs ago and the installers came the day to set it up, but because it was supposed to be windy, and I did not have water trucks on order that day, they were gonna make me sign a release for them to install it. That tells me, no way would I...

Great thanks. I will check all that.

It's a Pentair ultra temp 140 The gas is a Pentair master temp 250. Like I said for the gas, inside the heater, there was a jumper at fireman switch. I removed that jumper, put my new two wire control wire ,( let's say red n white) red to one side of where the jumper was removed, and white to...

Ok, so the actuators are adjusted and now I can get the deck jets to work, and the magic jets. The Heat pump just isn't responding. its connected by the 2 wire control to the Comm port on personality board. I haven't looked into the gas heater yet. Any idea on the Heat pump itself, why its not...

So few questions here. I have started setting up my intellitouch and the instructions are not very good. I am familiar with automation, certified for Lutron controls, and familiar with wiring. My intellitouch has the wireless transceiver setup with Screen Logic2. Im using a laptop and and...

I'm looking into building a box for mine this year. So when it's done it should roll up into what looks like a long bench.

From an electrical stand point. Is the solar electric panels drawing power? No. That 50 amp breaker is protecting the wire bringing power into your panel. No? So really that 50 amp breaker shouldn't be considered in your panel as any other breaker using power.... No? As long as the heat pump...

Ok thanks. Our pool hopefully will be complete in week or two I have the intellitouch parts, just not the stenner pump set up yet. Everything is starting to add up, so might have to hold off on this for this year. But I'm saving your picture above for reference too.

Question. Ok so you buy a stenner pump, then get a separate holding tank? Can the programming and adjusting of the time and amount and so on, be controlled by an intellitouch system? I'm new to all this, and would to have a setup for acid injections, instead of doing it manually.. Suggestions?

Thanks. I was hoping for a little more input from people...between the equipment and the controls, I'm sure someone has some good advice, so hopefully I don't learn the hard way.
