I have not had a chance to introduce myself since becoming a member. Hi! My name is Wendy.
TFP has been so helpful. So far I have done pretty well finding answers and avoiding the common newbie errors. My project is a great example of pivoting from finding the best options to making the most of available options. (supply chain issues are no joke).
We are in the final stages of setting up a 7'x10'x 4.5'D Fitmax ipool 3. All equipment and specs are in my signature.
All going well, the electrician will be here in six days to run power and hard wire the heater. The electrician requires the pool to be fully set-up with water and filter prior to his work starting. Worst case scenario is rescheduling the electrician; which could delay home therapy another month.
I currently have functional limitations and my husband is recovering from Lyme. We are not the most dynamic of duos at the moment. Any assistance with the following items is greatly appreciated. Even a link to a specific thread is most helpful. I know I am not the first person to ask the following questions, but I am not finding specific answers in my searches. It could be my mental fatigue.
Items to figure out in the short-term:
1. Longer pool hoses - The pool came with two grey flex Hayward 6' hoses, 1.5 NTP, with shut off valves at the pool side connection. We need 14' and 16' long hoses to connect the equipment to the pool. We plan to use pvc lines in the near future, once the equipment is wired and in its final location. At the moment we just need to get everything connected and functional as quickly as possible.
- What type/brand of hose, fittings, and clamps are best in this situation?
- Any brands or types to avoid?
2. Pool water delivery - then what? - I have the TF-100 test kit, smart stirrer, and a thermometer. The pool holds 2,200 gallons. After the heater is wired and connected the water will be heated to low 90's F when in use. The pool, hoses, and equipment will be well insulated prior to winter and it is all inside a shelterlogic tent which will help with UV affects.
- What do I need to do and what chemicals do I need to have on hand when the new pool water is delivered?
- Any special considerations with the higher water temps and pool chemistry going forward?
Thank you so much. I am so glad I found TFP.
