    What is this and why is it so filthy?

    Get a regular dry pressure gauge. I've changed from the wet kind as I find after winter they're shot. I don't like to mess with everything so I leave them on in the winter. The dry gauges break less often for some reason. I don't worry about vibration at all.

    Troubleshooting water running out of pipes when filter is turned off

    Sorry I'm late to the party. You may have an O ring that isn't seated in the groove properly so it may not be sealed and you shouldn't need excessive force at all. Open it back up and pull pipe back enough to first see what it looks like before you touch it. If it's out of the groove remove it...

    Side suction and bottom drain problems....I give up.

    So then I must be doing something wrong that every SWCG install for a non automation system gets a circupool branded product and works as designed. I guess they build them differently for me.

    Is this algae!?

    Welcome Here is what I would say to you. Be very sure of what your CYA is because using less liquid chlorine (of the purest kind) then the slam ratio of cl/cya will be a fruitless fight.

    Featured Pump Plug is HOT

    Yes, the plug and wire from Lowe's will work. Also, get a strain relief connector that will screw into the thread at the back of the motor meant for round cord. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sigma-Electric-ProConnex-1-2-in-Cord-Grip-Connector-Conduit-Fitting/3150211

    Is this normal corrosion for a 4 year old Raypak heater?

    Just did one 2 weeks back. The burner tray looked similar but the rest of the heater base looked almost new. Had it looked like that I would have said, where's that credit card again ;)

    Bought a foreclosure home with a long-neglected SWG pool

    I will attribute that to the once a week shock syndrome of the pool stores. Owners at their mercy would just empty the 1 lb bags "oh just sprinkle it around edges in the deep" was always the instructions from the tech behind the counter. Yeh, that's why I find fading in the deep at the...

    Then your good to go. The red and black at the switch is just breaking the hot side. The wire in your motor are good just need to be routed through proper fittings per electrical code. Make sure to bond the motor.

    Leave pooli alone and ride with poolmath. Poolmath has alot of calculations configured in the background so your pm says 80 and there's no reason to change that to higher.

    Borates and TA

    I see no reason from your poolmath that you'd need it. Your poolmath shows a low FC along with an 8 for the CYA which by TFP standards is a 10. You added 600 gram CYA which equates to 21 ounces = call it adding another 8. Those numbers need fixing more then 20 mule your asking about.

    Don't test for the CC until your chlorine holds and the water clears up as it's just wasteful and doesn't change any part of the process.

    Updated- Pool builder shocked my pool

    This and a few more products would be permissible to enter a pool store for but lowering the PH isn't dependent if you like that number but rather a CSI culmanative assessment of your whole chemistry.
