So long story short, i have an old transformer i want to switch out because its freaks me out.. I have a 35watt 12 volt LED bulb i bought from inyo pools. not sure of the brand. Would it be best to just buy a intermatic 300, its $100, is there a cheaper one that would work? Also, any tricks on...

This is my first year with the SWG, I have to say, i don't know how I lived without it. That and adding a robot have been life changing. I don't have time to keep up with manually adding bleach every day or two. It has made my life 100% easier than last year when i was battling algae from...

I've stumped the TFP community

Looks like I’m buying a dolphin. Can’t find the suction side leak above ground, and we are having a party Friday. Need to get the pool clean. I guess I’m just going to leave it as is since it works fine at 2100 or below rpm. No need to go above that with a robot to clean the pool. I plan to...

Hey Everyone, I feel like i've been posting a lot lately. Usually i find everything through search, but once again came up empty handed. Just looking for some thoughts. i have a Aqua comfort MBP-125h heat pump. its old but works. I bought it off a cousins friend for $200, he supposedly used it...

Thanks for all the replies, this is a real bummer because i have people coming over this coming weekend and the pool floor is a mess. Jim- Thanks for the compliment Jim, i try to make sure all my work looks top notch (minus the stupid DMV mistake) The dreaded Wier door, i spent 3 weeks trying...

hey everyone, so i've been searching for a while on the forum, and cant seem to find anything that details the same issue im having. I just replumbed all new equipment, i had to use a barb fitting to go from 1.5in black poly to 2 inch PVC. i'm having the opposite effect with my VSP that most...

I went ahead and wired it all up per our previous convo, im wondering if it has to do with how old the fixture is. when i think 12 volts, i think of my car stereo days, and fuses in a car. im wondering if the 12 volt line out (blue tape) from the transformer is to be connected to one of the fuse...

Figured i would share, those wires i had wrapped in white tape, they weren't ground wires. this light transformer is so old it was for a round screw in fuse. surprised the transformer still works, might look into buying a newer style transformer.

Thanks meadow, appreciate the help, you basically confirmed what i was thinking, and i'm pretty comfortable proceeding now. thanks again for the help.

So I tested the transformer, i'm pretty sure I know which wires are correct, when I tested I got 11.5volts (wires with green tape and blue tape). I want to verify these random wires (white tape), i'm pretty sure they are just for a ground, but the wire used is old armor clad and there is no...

Well i guess i'll leave it as is. I don't mind replacing them, and plan to in the future, but my list is growing and would prefer to focus my time elsewhere. I really appreciate everyone's help on this, puts me at ease. Fingers crossed for no issues!!

So i'm a total dumbo. I went to home depot and just grabbed a bunch of 90's and 45's without any thought to what kind they were. Well i bought 90's 45's and couplings for sanitary, and drain use, and they were not rated for high pressure. I'm going back tonight to buy and replumb the correct...

Thanks Meadow, really appreciate the help and instructions. So the light housing in the pool actually says 12 volts on the housing, that's the only reason i knew. Its def wired currently for 120, because there was a regular style house bulb in there when we moved in. Ill get going on this soon...

Makes sense. Thanks for the help. One of the wires there may actually be connected to rebar too, who knows. im not going to dig up everywhere to find out though, i guess run the line and hook all the wires i see up to it and be good.

looks like they bypassed the transformer when they went to get the pool up and running. Makes me angry i spent so much on a 12 volt light because of what the light housing said. i have the large light cable running into the back of the box, then there is one set of armor clad running to the...

If i cant bond to the rebar, does it really make much sense to go through the hassle of laying 150ft of bare wire under all the stone?

that confuses me, because the light did work before, if its hooked up for 0 volts, i'm not sure how it needs to be hooked up for it to work with my 12 volt light. im not an electrician but very handy. im not good with transformers though, and i really don't want to go and pay hundreds to have...

I'm going to run the wire around the pool, and then just connect it to the wires connected to the pool ladder, and then run it down to the equipment, its a lot of extra work. i feel like i should be fine without it; there have been no issues with the pool in the past, but it gives me piece of...

Alright, so I have an old pool, and everything i see makes me shake my head. When we bought the house, i guess they did what they could to get it up and running to sell. There was no GFCI breaker for the pool light, installing that this weekend. the converter box is by the electric panel in the...

The metal ladder acts as the water bond, i guess i have some more work to do, just had all them up to relevel and didn't even cross my mind to do the wire at the same time. i guess ill try to bury it 3-4 inches under, and pray this doesn't take hours on end to do. I just wish i could find the...

i don't have any good pictures, but there's no real running joints, so it would be difficult to do it that way. I may just lift the side of each and put it underneath, is it important for it to be buried underground? also, no way i can connect it in 4 spots to the rebar or anything, it would...

I put mine in the basement as well with no troubles, knock on wood.

So i posted a year ago about the bonding of my 70's pool. I'm back at it this year trying to determine if its worth the extra work to add more bonding. All metal, ladder anchors, light jbox, light niche and fence are all bonded together, im already running a line from the fence wire to the pool...

Hey Guys, i stumbled upon the post in another forum that also lists code sections in regards to the wire size and breaker size. Air Condition and Heat Pump over current protection and wire sizes. Chelan County Real Estate Inspections | NCW Home Inspections, LLC I believe heat pumps are clumped...
