Hey guys,
So had one of my buddies that does pool mods come over and we acid washed my pool, and chlorine washed as well. It is filled back up now, and the main reason we did it is i just bought the house, and parameters were very bad, CYA out of control, etc. So now the pool looks amazing, and ive had my stenner sitting since winter i haven't installed it. Now is the time. I have a separate digital timer for stenner that will will do minutes, and I will control injection that way. I may wire in a relay later to prevent injection while pool pump isn't running. Now my question is, I need to tap into the return with my 1/4" black tubing from stenner, without cutting and glueing in a T, can drill and tap at a slip_slip coupler, then thread a male NPT plastic fitting in? Will this work? What about saddle clamps? Also, what fitting do I connect the black tubing to return with? are the plastic push in quick connectors (Reverse osmosis style) ok to use?
Last questions deal with my lights, i have a old fiber optic with 3 nicheless 1.5" lenses on the wall, it works, but the fiber optic cable is so bad/damaged, i get just a faint glow in each lense, and it puts zero light into pool. They come from one light box, and go into 3 separate stubbed up conduit to the side of the pool wall. I want to switch these to a jandy, hayward, pentair, savi, etc. niche-less led emitters. I have built highpower (200-500 true watts)LED lights for reef tanks and i understand the workings with led drivers, voltages etc, however, I get a little confused as to what controllers I have to buy to make the pool emitters work. So, my wants is, the most affordable system, which I can buy, one led head now, and a control unit (if needed) then buy the 2 other emitters later. I would like them be an RGB unit. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
