Wait... where was that green wire connected before you took out the breaker? If the green wire to the tub was connected to the GFCI breaker, then that may have been your problem and could have caused all kinds of functionality and safety problems, not to mention being a blatant code violation...

Does it make any sense to use something like epoxy grout instead of conventional grout? Or is that silly and should I just handle the water chemistry as though it's a plaster pool?

Hopefully to reduce scaling. With the pool right now, as the pH and temperature fluctuates, I get a bit of scaling sometimes. If I keep CH (and hence CSI) very low, I imagine that will go away. Also, I'm hoping it'll reduce scaling in the SWG cell itself -- as I understand it, the OH-...

I'm planning to resurface my ~20-year-old in-ground plaster pool with Aquabright. I'll have glass waterline tile and Aquabright below the tile and an automatic cover that will mostly stay closed. I have an SWG that I plan to keep using. I have two questions: what's the desired chemistry, and...

I'm tempted to try both larger pipes and a constant flow valve. One problem with bigger pipes is that replacing the pipes at all might require doing some fancy horizontal boring and possibly tearing up either the deck or the lawn and maybe draining the pool more than just a few inches if the...

I have a possibly unusual setup. I have a 40k gallon in-ground pool with a detached spa. The spa is plumbed exactly like a normal spillover spa, except that the spa is level with the pool and is separated by about ten feet of concrete deck from the pool. To keep the spa from overflowing due...

Hi all- Last month I replaced an old single-speed pump, ancient Aqua-Rite (pre-2006) and Compool CP3800 with a Hayward OmniLogic, new SWG cell, and an Ecostar VS. The cell and pump do exactly what you'd expect, but the OmniLogic has some pros and cons. Here's my review so far. I'm assuming...
