    Got the SWCG fired up last night. The good news is the Prologic and my test kit both gave me readings of 2800. How bizarre is that??? lol. Have the cell set to 60% and the pump is currently going to run 24/7 on low speed until I know how the pool reacts to everything.

    We all took a quick dip last night. 55 degrees. Was just a bit chilly! Thank god we could warm up in the hot tub. This AM pool was up to 74 degrees. Skimmer has a light leak.

Had to stop with about 3" out of level on one side. We will have to wait till the ground dries up before we can finish that section. So glad i...

    Started trenching the gas line last night. Have 63 feet and half of it is over underground utilities so I figured I may as well do it all by hand. :shock: Got about 35' done but cant make it all the way down to the 24" depth mark as there is still some frost down there. Also have to trench the...

    Quick Electrical Question - Conduit

    @nick_wa We are just outside of Edmonton. I am also looking at Pool Supplies Canada. They seem to be cheaper than anyone else and really are great to deal with. We ordered our pool and everything from them on black friday. I actually just got a quote from them this AM for valves and stuff that...

    Quick Electrical Question - Conduit

    Nick we are doing the same thing as you but are adding a NG heater and next season will be looking more seriously at solar. After pricing everything out, we can install a hayward prologic with SWCG for not much more than the way you are doing it. We will run 220V out to the sub panel beside the...
