    Dead and flickering light- what are my first troubleshooting steps?

    Thanks! Wiring was... simpler than I was expecting. Standalone 120VAC-14VAC transformer to a set of junction boxes sending out 14VAC. PB warranty on bulbs is 1 year but I'll ask anyway, and then start searching TFP to see who's replaced them and where the best place to buy will be. Connectors...

    Dead and flickering light- what are my first troubleshooting steps?

    All- Merry Christmas Eve! Noticed the other day that, of my 3 lights, one is completely dead, and the other randomly alternates between being off and flickering lightning-quick through some/all of it's color combos. Aqualink PDA P8, and BlueSquare Spectrum 360. Pool is ~2 years from being brand...

    YAA (Yet Another Aerator)

    Title says it all! Plastered and filled 3 months ago or so and alkalinity keeps climbing and the sheers aren't doing enough to let me keep up with dumping in all the acid I need to dump in. Have it on the booster cleaner port (unused since I've got a robot) which is still plumbed in.. PB...

    Robots- any alternatives to dragging the cord across decking?

    So it took forever for my M600 to show up, and then had to wait a bit to get the coping cut. Here it is! I wasn't there to supervise so the channel is a drop narrower than I had hoped for (was planning on filling in the sides and top with silicone) so now it just "fits" without any...

    Just some Memorial Day messing around- RPM vs. GPM vs wattage

    Thank goodness :) And I must have done a reasonable installation of the flowmeter, that might be the larger validation!

    Just some Memorial Day messing around- RPM vs. GPM vs wattage

    Here's v2, with some additional lower-end data points: So the curve really ends up "curving". This was with my sheer descents on; at 2400rpm, I had 2 solid sheers, and the far one was getting "bumpy". At 1750rpm, all 3 were bumpy, and at 1200rpm, all 3 were dribbling down the wall. After...

    Just some Memorial Day messing around- RPM vs. GPM vs wattage

    SoDel- I installed this: F-300 - Blue-White Industries. Specifically, on a run of pipe after the filter that all the water goes thru. If installed correctly, should be fairly accurate (and, even if it's off, the relationships between rpm/flow/power will still be there). And I've got not clue...
