Thanks so much for walking me through all of this. I couldn’t find the bonding lug on the transformer housing looking at the underside from the front or sides. The back of the box is wedged against a rock wall. Finally I was able to get a photo from the underside of the rear of the transformer...

My understanding was that you use split bolts to connect the cut wire to the new wire, but I never received a response as to if you cover it all with some more potting compound, so I reposted it in a different form. I apologize but I missed iyour second part that on Hayward’s box the ground...

It appears that my Hayward poolside box housing the transformer has no external lug for attaching the #8 green wire running through pvc from the wet niche. It has multiple green grounding screws and one lug-like elongated piece under a screw which would fit a #8 wire nicely, all screws attached...

While replacing a 2 -wire pool light with a 2 -wire w/ground pool light, I noticed that the green #8 wire which was attached to the inside lug of the non-metallic wet niche and covered with potting compound had been cut to about a 6” length by the prior owner (I’m assuming when he had installed...

Thank you, do these then need to be covered with potting compound to prevent corrosion within the wet niche?

I have 3 parts to my question concerning bonding: 1. Previous owner cut the existing #8 green bonding jumper that is attached to a lug inside the wet light niche and covered with potting compound. There is 8” dangling into the wet niche. Can I use butt connectors with shrink insulation (which...

Should I figure out some way to attach the bond wire to a screw or something to the niche rather than strip it and tuck it into a metal groove? Where should the lug be that it would attach to?

Additionally, I’d like to know if this high borate poses a health risk and is there anything I need to do?

Why would my borates be rising? I started around 30 and used the app to figure how much to add to get to 40. After a few weeks it appeared to drop to about 35, so I recomputed and added more Mule team borax. It went to 45-50. 3 weeks later I checked it and is was nearing 100. Now, 2 more weeks...

Thanks so much. I saw elsewhere that the loose green wire inside the niche should have been connected as the bond, but it isn’t and there didn’t appear to be a lug or anything to attach it to. The wire was cut flat ( no insulation stripped off it). I stripped some insulation and wedged it into...

I would like to replace my 12v Hayward Colorlogic led light with a pool tone 12v led light. I have a plastic niche which has a green stranded wire which to my knowledge has never been used. I have 2 questions: 1) Colorlogic light has no ground wire, but PoolTone does. I’ve read that the ground...

Also, how do I go back and access notes I’ve placed in th notes section of app?

I wonder if I’ve broken off the retention tab inside the pool light niche at the 6:00 position . Is there a way to add one back or build one without removing niche?

I removed my Hayward Colorlogic light since the bottom of the light had loosened in the niche placed in gunite pool. Upon investigation I noticed a groove in the bottom of the niche, but nothing like a lip or metal or anything for the clip on the light at the 6:00 position to latch on to. Does...

No, but thanks for showing me where the info is loaded in PoolMath. That was what I was looking for.

Yes, Pool Math has the feature that lets you know what the effects are, but it doesn’t go as far as The Pool Calculator and tell you how much to add of another chemical to negate the addition of the first chemical. For instance, in Pool Math I can see that adding 954 oz of borax in a 27,000...

I like the way that PoolMath keeps a running record, is convenient to use on cell phone, etc. but it seemed that the oldpool calculator handled “what if”scenarios in a manner that allowed you to see what effect adding a chemical would have on all other chemistry. To me, doing additions on paper...

Thanks guys. My Ch is always high around 475, even creeps back upseveral days after replacing 1 1/2 feet of water approximately. Yes, I religiously use the pool math app and csi is usually around zero, -.010. Another question since i mentioned using borax. Is it ok to not use baking soda and...

When i test my TA on my 27,000 gallon plaster pool with chlorine generator using the TF100 kit, I routinely get 70-80 ppm with ph from 7.4 - 7.8 and very little fluctuation. I didn't add any baking soda at startup, but used borax instead. I have super clear and clean water and only add...

so blakeusa, Is it ok to reset loose flagstone with something like landscaper's cement applied underneath flagstone rather than remove old thinset nd reaply it?
