I knew you would have the answer, thank you.

Intellicenter, SWG, VSF pump being installed today, which app to use with iPhone? Inquiring minds want to know.. Christine

Thanks for the detailed answer. Not the OP but also looking for a new heater. I will look in to the basic Raypak, I will be having automation, as I am updating pump to VS, and adding SWG.

Interested in this also. Here is the link. Is this permitted? Raypak – - AVIA Pool and Spa Heater, 264-404

Good to know. I use pool math faithfully and try to keep a good eye on the CSI.

I was hoping you would say that. I have 20K gals. now and use a 40 and it just coasts, so in the smaller pool I hopefully get the added longevity.

The sun shelf is almost half the pool. I wouldn't have done it that way but it is what it is.

As far as I can see they all call for a 40 salt cell, at 7000 gallons, should I do that?

thanks, I will check out that link.

When I was planning a new build in Houston, which I am not now doing, I took pages of notes from all the build threads I read. The advice here is so good, I kept reading the same advice over and over and learned and retained some. So for the SWG I think I want the Intellicenter. I read I want...

The bubbler has a ball valve, the inspector did turn it on and then off at the end. Would this need to be changed when I have the SWG and other changes made? He did not that there were alot of unnecessary 90s in the plumbing and recommended cleaning that up when I change out the other heater...

I will be able to get a closer number when the pool is open and I can adjust the chemical and see how pool math responds.

Its 7000 according to the sellers, there is a large sundeck, too large, I wouldn't have done that, but they have 2 little kids.

Great explanation, so could the IntelliConnect control all that you listed plus the bubbler and the lights, is there a limit on how many features it can control?

The summary of the pool inspection and a separate leak detection company follow. The extra motor is for a Polaris cleaner which sellers are no longer using. Advice was to remove and I will. Sellers are leaving a robot and I also am bringing on. Heater is on it's last leg and while working will...

Good point I will take your advice. Thanks for chiming in.

That's what I am thinking that it is grandfathered. Though they did a new light and had to presumably pull the electrical and I thought that might trigger an update. I do plan on having all the individual GFCI CBs, and surge protection. I would rather be safe and know it. Thanks for the...

It really surprised me when pool inspector said it is not code required. I agree pools and electricity GFCI is not the place to fool around.

Should I do GFCI breakers on all equipment? I will be having some work done this spring as noted above. I am not able to DIY but will certainly have a licensed electrician do the work.

thanks for the response. I am being told by pool inspector that since pool was built in 2005/6 that it wasn't code so they didn't need them. I kinda thought that pools were one of the first reasons for GFCIs when they first became part of code. Then sometime this year pool was resurfaced with...

Bumping please. Any thoughts on the GFCI's mentioned in my last post? Thanks

The inspections are done, will post more information later. Just wondering about GFCIs for pool equipment. There are NONE. Is this a code requirement, North West Arkansas 72758? Pool was resurfaced, new waterline tile, new light, and a new electronics board in on the the pieces of equipment...

this all great information, I am learning alot. The pool inspection is now this morning as yesterday the home inspector started at the house electric panel and something blew and cut power to the house. Apparently it was quite scary, my realtor and the HVAC inspector saw it and all were...

Did I read this correctly, the mineral cartridge cannot be removed? You advise removing the copper insert. Then where is the correct placement for SWG?

I think most inspections are like that. Tomorrow I am doing the house inspection and separate hvac and plumbing. Sellers are opening the pool, heating it.The home inspector just looks at the pool. Later this week I am have a separate pool inspection and then a separate company does the Leak...

This is just what I needed to make sense of it, complete with arrows. I have been reading all the new construction threads for years and it has kept my pool beautiful and clean. The equipment part kind of baffles me, I learn something new all the time reading here. You are so generous with...

Got it, thanks.

I Glad to see your response ajw22. I was worried about the age of everything, good to know the PVC appears fine. I will ask about the check valve between the tab chlorinator and the heater. I take possession mid January and the pool will be closed again after inspections. I will be removing...
