    pentair intelechlor ic20

    What automation system do you have? If it is the new Pentair easy touch there are settings that you can manipulate to increase or decrease output. I would not recommend increasing output because you will decrease the life cycle of the cell. Increase pool pump run time. Talk with your pool...

    Switching to a electric pool heater in San Diego & need advice!

    I looked st them and I kike the idea of being able to replace tubes and or headers when needed. Also being made from stainless as well. A quick look at the capacity of these panels you would need 8 at a very minimum. I think you will need more like 12 to 16 of them. Sent from my...

    Switching to a electric pool heater in San Diego & need advice!

    Trying to do what you want within the $2000.00 range will be hard. I would look at two 125 lb propane bottles at the heater with a Raythem 400,000 BTU boiler outdoor rated. With the boiler at high fire the bottles will run the boiler for about 10 hours. They will last longer because it will...

    SWG, chlorine demand and a hot summer

    How old is the cell. Acid cleaning is hard on them but some times necessary. How long do you run the pump. When using SWG and you need more clorine it is better to run the pump longer then turn the swg up. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

If so look into the garage our the most logical location the gas would run from there may be a valve at that...

    I made most of the rocks and the equipment screen. I hired some one to do the entire grotto. The build was back in 2006 or 2007 owner builder. I work in the construction field and have lots of contacts. The thing that makes these look so good is the painting. Thank you for the kind words.

    Pool Equipment - Surround

    The equipment surround has a 12 x 12 footing with 1/2 rebar every 18" vertical and 18" horizontal. I would bend the rebar to get curves in it. I used premix concrete on the wall and applied it with a shovel. Basically I just lobed it on and formed with trowels, plastic bags, burlap and...
