Well I've joined you in that faux pas. Had a leak in the skimmer line entry into the pad before the new jandy ball valve replacement. One joint had to be glued after everything else was positioned...
Good thing I was just adding a little water to the pool at a time for testing.
------------
Still plugging away at least 3 hrs/day in 100+ temps. When you're young, everything
seems to take forever; when you're old, everything
does take forever.
Actually have made a lot of progress, but it's little things that don't show much or not at all.
--Used leaf blower to check all pool lines into pad except main; used a pancake compressor for the main. All clear.
--Screwed together paver stack used under filter and added filter positioning guide.
--Added stopper block so filter joint band doesn't fall very far when loose.
--Added more irrigation valves and finished rerouting water lines for hose bibbs on walls outside of pad.
--Added hose bib & hose specifically for cleaning filter inside pad.
--Reinstalled one of the irrigation timers.
--Got pool water filler via irrigation valve & timer operational.
--Finished all high voltage wiring except a distant outlet that's powered from the IntelliCenter.
--Tidied up wiring runs.
--Fixed the little fountain on outside of pad wall that will be relay-controlled.
--Removed old pool light & pulled wire for new one.
--Added 1 ft of clear pvc as a viewer to drain line.
--Drain/waste module done, painted & and gravity tested.
--Filter module done, painted and ready to install after skimmer leak fix verified.
--Pump module being worked on. 🛠
Will have a nice set of pics hopefully in a couple of days.
