a pump/timer question etc

[waste]

thanks waste..well, this is great info. i have decided that i will redo most of my plumbing. the pool is 13 years old, it's never been changed and least of the expense. and i think i will consider the timer idea as well.

so, one more quick question, waste:

-so you're saying put the pump on a timer..but continuous, separate power supply to the autopilot right? they are interconnected anyway in that the autopilot won't start until the flow valve detects flow, right?

i "think" i've got it

I think you've got it too! The units have a flow detector, if it doesn't sense flow the unit will not generate

One last thing I haven't mentioned to you yet. Don't store any chlorine in the shed with your clubs, they and any other metals will rust - no matter how tightly capped the bottles or tubs are some cl gas escapes and in a closed area it's rust city. Keep the cl in a plastic tote container with a lid outside in the shade. Using bleach to shock will extend the life of the cell and pucks can be used to lower pH and add cya.

great tips, waste..thank you!
