Be ready for the question "you used a new garbage disposal, right?" a lot! Back in the day, we made one and that was the question we got every time we had someone new come over! --Jeff

If you are referring to the flame sense cable, this is the cable that goes between the Fenwal ICM and the heater control board. If you are only replacing the heater board/membrane pad, then this is not needed. You would need to change out the ICM in order to have this connection. See below...

I have my intake valve biased so that when in spa mode I am constantly pulling a small bit of water from the pool as well, to help with this. Sure I am constantly overflowing a trickle of water, but the spa will refill and remain full when people get out/in. The small flow of colder pool water...

I used something similar for the ethernet connection after a lightning strike took my board out. It also killed my network switch in the house, which is why I added these. Also added a panel surge protector after that. Didn't know they had RS-485 surge protectors. --Jeff

My features pump maintains the address after hibernating all winter with the power disconnected. Should be good to go. --Jeff

Thanks for posting this. I primarily use my iPhone for controlling the pool and I was having this issue. Never thought to pull up on the laptop and try it. --Jeff

I did mine this past weekend. I replaced all 4 of my globrites with microbrites. Make sure to attach a pull cord to the cable before you pull it out, as Marty mentioned. Not difficult, but helps to have a helper to help feed/pull. --Jeff

I assume the suction tube in the tank is installed and hasn't come loose from the fitting. Could you have reversed the suction/discharge lines when re-assembling? --Jeff

Currently water temp is 73 here. Air temps have been getting into the mid 80's. I did heat it this weekend to 88, so that I could get in to change the pool lights. The water was not bad but we had so much wind that as soon as any wet skin was exposed I was freezing. Depending on air temps, I...

And today I swapped filter elements, and cleaned the dirty ones. Worked up a sweat doing that and jumped in to cool off. --Jeff

Looking good! I'm glad you said something about the chairs. I sat there and stared at them for a good 2 minutes trying to figure out what happened to them. :ROFLMAO: --Jeff

Heated my pool up today so I could get into it. I decided to finally change my Globrites over to Microbrites. All 4 had failed about mid last year. The spa Globrite light would still work if you would heat the spa up. I also added a second lighting transformer so I can run the spa and pool...

I agree, I wish they had a design that would guide the hose. I have the extension kit also so I have 150' of hose on mine, and it has to get wound somewhat neatly or it doesn't fit. I just wind mine up with one hand, while guiding it on in a neat manner with the other. A little frustrating...

This is awesome! Where did you find the Tiki deals on the front of the bar? I could use something like that to dress up my area! --Jeff
