So unfortunately both my unions cracked and I need new ones asap. Do I need to by the branded genuine unions from Raypak or would any 2 inch connector slip union work? I attached a photo of the Raypak ones which are $60 bucks, but I believe I can just pick up unbranded generic ones that would...

Makes sense guys. Probably should just leave everything as is with timer. Now for the Raypak, considering it can be controlled from app. Does it make more sense for it to be wired to timer? Or have constant power? I figured constant power so it’s always on BUT not running. I figured this...

Okay Well maybe I’m wrong but isn’t that exactly what the timer does though ? So what’s the difference compared to the smart outlet

for example, these but for 2 pole outlet

Well, I have the Avia pool heater which has built in WiFi. So I can control it with my phone through the app. Which is what I’m looking to do with the pump. Pump is a Pentair 011028 I was thinking using a smart plug for the pool pump, but I can’t find a 220 smart plug

So I was looking into smart plugs/outlets to make my Pentair Intelli Flo a smart pump, but I can’t seem to find 220v outlet/plugs anywhere. I currently plug my pump Into this outlet and it goes on by a timer but I was hoping to control from phone. Anyone seen any solutions for this? Thanks...

Thanks again. So is 45 a good level for CYA? My pool is 27,000 gallons

Thanks guys!! So how long do I have to wait until I test it and ALSO how long do I wait until I can add chlorine?

THANKS again guys. I have two socks hanging from the returns now. One on each. How long do you think until it’ll dissolve considering it’s fine texture

Okay so I just bought 20lbs of CYA. So the consistency is like fine grain almost like salt. Do I still need to do the sock method or can this just be dumped in the pool and it’ll dissolve quick since it’s small grain sized?

Would you recommend the solid or the liquid CTA?

So, my pool had a new liner in, it was drained completely and we filled it up with hose water. Since then we only chlorinated it with liquid chlorine, up until now. Which we have a SWG. Could my CYA be 0 since it was filled with hose water and no pucks were used? can I just add the recommended...

Thanks so much for the response. Found out it only pulls around 1 amp IF that. So I’m going to hook it on to the timer. I’m so excited for a salt chlorinated pool this year. This is my first set up. Now the hard part I have to figure out how to conveniently pull this Merlin cover off and fold it lol

So here is my sub panel outside by my pool. My finger is on a 20 amp outlet that my pool pump gets plugged into. The pool pump turns on when I hit the manual switch on the timer. (Which is how I like doing it) I’m just wondering where I can hook up the salt generator. My pool pump pulls 16 amps...

The pool has never had salt in it. Always been a chlorine pool. Okay, so I’ll use liquid chlorine at the open. I checked the skimmer Water looks clean at the moment. I will know when I open this weekend. Any idea what chlorine level to have it at? Should I have it settle at a certain level of...

I just purchased the CircuPool RJ-60 PLUS Salt Chlorine Generator So this is my first time opening my pool with a salt water generator. I’ve Always had chlorine prior. I haven’t hooked up the salt water generator yet, but I will be this weekend. What would be different than opening the pool...

so essentially it says 15,000 hour life span so id be looking at around 30K life span? I usually only run my pool at night and during summer months in NY. June-August how many years do you think is possible with the Rj 60 plus?

WOW okay that sounds good ill check them out. any best time on when to purchase it when it comes to sales? Also, how has your experience been with it? any hiccups or anything I should be aware of? How is the ease of installation as well. I'd say I'm somewhat handy so you think id be able to...

Thank you so much on the advice! my pools is about 26-27k gallons. any SWG you recommend for that?

Was looking to go salt but I was wondering if salt is harder to deal with when it comes to chemicals and keeping the water clear/clean. Ive dealt with a chlorine pool for the past two years and its just become routine now. Somewhat a little apprehensive swiping to salt because I've never dealt...

Was looking to purchase an RJ 60 plus. Just wanted to see what everyone’s experience has been with them How long do they usually last, any common issues, do salt water chlorine generators run 24/7, can you/do you still shock the pool with liquid chlorine etc? any info would be greatly...

So my pool has a Marin Smart Cover in it and I just noticed it filled up from looking in the skimmer. Water is in the skimmer at this point. (Skimmer is plugged so water can’t fall back down into the pipes) Do I have to drain it below the skimmer? Or as long as I have the gizmo in the skimmer...

So I’ve been doing some research about mesh and solid in ground pool covers. I’ve Also been researching some brand names as well. What I gather is mesh filters out the debris and the water goes into the pool (rain/snow water) my concern with that is murky water when I open. Which can be cleaned...

thank you for that! I will get back on CYA levels I have to test that. What do you recommend CYA levels be at? Also, I really wanted to switch to a salt water generator as well, but a few friends I spoke to keep advising against it because of rust, and I have pavers and they have a negative...

So yea, my pool started getting algae on pool walls and floor. Just some green spots that I just brushed now. Is this normal to happen even though I’m adding liquid chlorine every night? Take into account I opened my pool about 3 weeks ago, and haven’t brushed pool walls or floor since I opened...

Thank you guys. Yea it’s been a lot of work and time, but I’m extremely happy with it :) Can truly enjoy it this summer!

Continued thanks for checking out! Now we just need to get a landscaper.. it never ends lol

Hi my name is Justin. So, my wife and I bought a house and became an owner of a 18x36 inground chlorinated pool. So just some info on my pool. It was about 30 years old and it needed work. It’s a vinyl pool with a sand bottom and steel walls. We recently had some major renovations done to...

Wow 10 years continuous without major issues? Is so, that gives me some faith that the intelliflo will last a good while. Awesome experiment and thanks for doing it! I actually heard that to. I hope starting and stopping isn’t to much of an issue.

Thanks for the info. Yes true about my variable speed pump, I just worry of longevity with the pump. Main reason I’m asking if I should run it 24/7 I mean, would 12 hours on, then 12 off suffice and still keep pool clean?
