Wiring Question

[Jbthompson]

Hi everyone. I’ve got my Circupool RJ 60 installed. I am wiring it to my Intermatic timer. Dumb question (please be kind), how do o attached the wire to these round connectors? Do you just wrap the wire around and screw in to secure?

J,

You could just wrap the wire around the screw, but a better way is to buy some crimp on connectors, just like you see on the other connections.

You can get them at big box stores or auto parts stores.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Thank you. I was able to wrap it. Almost done!

Got it worked and running. I have a tiny, like a drip leak on one of the pvc pipes. Ugh. Is there a way to patch something like this?

The leak is on the pressure side, so not really.

You can drain the leaking pipe and then recoat the leaking PVC connection with PVC glue and see it if seeps into the leaking area.

If that fails you can use some kind of silicone sealant... worth a try, but probably won't last too long.

Thanks,

Jim R.

As for the leak - is it at a union (screw on connection)? The oring may not be properly seated
