Does anyone have a photo of how the Elfin EW11A-0 is Wired into the Hayward ?

Guinness, are you talking about reply #18 where that person mentions putting it in the freezer? The part about using the $20-30 EW11 sounds almost too good to be true. Is that really just as simple as mounting the device and connecting four wires and then setting it up on your phone? That would...

I'd have to say it's hard for me to justify spending the $$$ on a replacement remote when there is so much other stuff after hurricane Ian that needs repair or replacement. The convenience of having the remote is nice as the alternative has me going out on the lanai, through the screen door and...

I bought the house a year ago but it's 15 years old so it's likely the original one, 15 yrs old. As above AQL2-SS-RF GEN 2 RADIO Is there a way to tell the mfg date from the serial number? Will read through the above link on the timer. BUT since the remotes indicator light isn't functioning I...

Checked them again and also tried another set. Still dead :cry:

Have a remote that just quit working. Thought it was the batteries so swapped them out with a fresh pair, still nothing. The indicator light at the bottom of the remote doesn't flash as it used to and all the buttons are no longer in control of any of their functions. Before I make a $400 order...

In case your interested. https://www.hunker.com/13765131/what-is-a-gfci-and-where-do-i-need-one It's why I suggested the possibility of upgrading to a 12 volt LED as it's safer than the 120 volt system you have now.

There seem to be a number of suppliers when doing a search online. Swimquip 5055 bulb at DuckDuckGo https://www.florida-sunseeker.com/collections/swimquip-lights-and-led-color-replacement-bulbs I understand it's worked well for a number of years but now might be the time to consider changing...

Was the filter unusually dirty where it might have been restricting flow so much the heater wouldn't turn on? .

I've been following your updates as I was considering a dome too but ended up moving to FL this summer. Still looks like a great idea for the rest of the folks still back up north to extend the swim season earlier and later or even all year with a heater.

Can you post a photo or two of the crack ?

:wave: Welcome to TFP CeeElGee78 If it was just you then you might be able to get away with the 100K but seeing that the wife wants 80+ AND you're in Michigan I'd op for getting something bigger like 300K+ so you have some spring, fall coverage that the 100K wouldn't be able to supply.

Welcome to TFP Vikki .

:goodpost: What he said. You'd only gain some suction IF the filter was starting to plug up. That would be the only reason to backwash and since you keep it clean, backwashing shouldn't help. Shutting off all the skimmers or suction side drains except the one you're using to vacuum should give...

:wave: Welcome to TFP BaconsPool That sure was ugly. :(

My GF had a float she loved that was breaking up. Looks similar to yours but rectangular. It's a Texas Recreation Sunray Pool Float. Might want to check them out to see if it might be a reasonable replacement.

What he said anything being possible. You also have to consider wind. That cover if caught by the wind makes a nightmarish sail and if caught on anything even slightly sharp will rip or shred. I'm a bit out in the country so I've come to using bungee cords on my cover when it's rolled up as a...

I have the one from TFTestKits too and it's been working great. Only problem I noticed is that the face started getting damaged by the sun. Didn't like direct sunlight so now I keep a plastic cup over it between readings.

Propane isn't worth considering if you're trying to go cheap. Had one and it's very expensive to run. It will raise the water temp fast so if you only swim occasionally it might not be bad but if you wanted to start the season early and maintain the pools temp so you could use it daily or every...

Just finished closing my pool. That looks so nice and it makes sense to be able to use the pool earlier and later in the season here in the north.

Considering I woke up to frost on my deck and lawn that sure is an inviting photo of your pool.

Re: Frog log Did the same for my pond. Have shallow rocks so critters can climb out. It's a must have.

:wave: Welcome to TFP al27 It's a problem I haven't had but I'm sure someone can give you a hand.

Well put me down for disappointed. I bought the thick heavy cover and I have more of the plastic bubble circles in the skimmers than I have left on the blanket. It's really looking ratty and rips easily as I try to pull it off the reel to cover the pool. It only gave me three seasons and it's...

They also sell a really nice liquid filled pressure gauge and a battery powered stirrer for testing. It's so nice to have it stirring as you're watching for a color change and counting drops. TFTestkits.net

Repair would be a waste of money. Do some research on the Raypaks. Residential Pool and Spa Heaters by Raypak

Welcome to TFP Raytownloc :wave:

That is such a great picture this time of year up north. All I have to look at is a blue tarp held in place with tires and a few inches of water/ice with some scattered leaves in it :-( That is one sturdy installation to withstand those winds. I think I was sharing those winds with you. I can't...

Sure sounds nice. I'm saying that looking out at my ice rink :( What are you seeing for operating costs ?? (If you don't mind).

Here in WI we're supposed to be getting some -20 something temps this weekend. Brrrrrrrr Would love to have the dome and be able to take a dip. Nice to see it's working out so far.
