    Found in my filter basket

    My pool is 2 years old. I found this in my filter basket a few days ago. It looks to be plaster and has an outside shape of a pvc pipe. Light weight and somewhat brittle. I’m thinking it might be the plasterers may not have had a drain sealed good during construction. Is it common to have...

    Gate sensor

    Good morning, This is sort of pool related. My pool and driveway share a common fence. We have a 20 foot rolling gate across the driveway. It’s powered by a Liftmaster chain driven opener. Due to local pool code requirements, the gate automatically closes after 1 minute. It has a photo...

    Building a water autofill by injecting water into the pipes?

    I have something very similar. Orbit B-hyve sprinkler controller controlling an orbit sprinkler valve plumbed off my hose bib. Check valve between sprinkler valve and pool plumbing. Back flow preventer on the hose bib.

    SWG plumbing recommendations

    Lots to think about. I’m leaning towards the Intellichlor since I already have all Pentair equipment. Hopefully get enough years out it to justify the higher costs. Thank you for all your inputs!
