Random question that might need another thread, but some smart dudes are in here so I will ask. Thread hijack not intended. I have a big ol' Malibu or similar transformer plugged into GFCI with 30-40 lights running off of it. Can I switch just the bulbs to LED and use the same transformer...

All concrete here, link to my build thread that has some vault questions at the end: Underway in NM J.

Costco has decent selection in the summer of good quality items. Frontgate online has excellent quality stuff and is pricey. Last year when I visited Phoenix we stopped by a really cool patio furniture store, can't remember the name, huge selection. J.

More Parrothead fun, I gasped at a few prices, great quality stuff though. Frontgate loves sending me emails and tempting me. http://www.frontgate.com/homeplusstyle/margaritaville/?storeId=10053&langId=-1&catalogId=10053?SourceCode=ZZ530341&cm_mmc=twitter-_-margaritaville-_-product-_-5115

The valve for my water feature has an actuator and is in the pool return line. The valve can shut water feature off 100% or divert any percentage of flow to the water feature and/or pool returns. [/URL][/IMG]

We have an auto cover that is run by a key switch on the wall. If the cover is open and the key is turned to start closing the cover the valve for our deck jets shuts. On the opposite spectrum, if the cover is closed and the key is turned to open the cover the valve opens to run the deck jets...

Re: New Pool in New Mexico We go end of April through early October. Spring winds are no fun, we keep the autocover shut unless we are in it to keep it clean/warm. Water is chilly until Memorial Day, we push it as far as we can into October because the boys have football/baseball and like it...

Re: New Pool in New Mexico PoolESQ, we are in Rio Rancho and coming up on our third full season of pool ownership. We love every minute of it, well at least when it is open, not when I am staring at it in the winter. Good luck! J.

We go the Costco route, they are on year three and doing well. Bought cushions at Lowe's and keep them put away unless they are in use, still look new after three years. I always drool over the Frontgate catalog and website, really nice stuff, a bit out of my reality price-wise J.

Re: New Pool in New Mexico Welcome fellow NM'er! I know the area you are in and it looks like a great place to chill and hang by the pool. Good luck on your project, it looks like a big one! J. p.s. looks like the light is in the far side of the pool shining at the house, there might not be...

Didn't one of the Paranormal Activity movies have a possessed pool cleaner? Yikes. Having four boys between the ages of 8-16, that is where money is as well! J.

Is this on Intellibrite? I am having similar issue and will try method above this weekend. What color or show do you have the dial set to (manual controller) when you are doing the rapid on/off sequence? Thanks, J.

Yes, I did forget to mention the four lady Labs that use the pool as well, some of my FC usage is their fault too...

After reading through these, I need to get my CYA up to 50. CYA has been hanging around 20-25. I have only used bleach since startup 2 years ago and get a good amount of splash out with 4 boys in it everyday all summer. I feared the CYA monster after reading all the stories here on TFP and...

Here's a quick pic of the jets on, they can be adjusted to enter the pool at different angles. The kids and the dogs love 'em. It is a great feature and I would not hesitate to get them again.
