@gw8674's Pool (MyAZPool)

[gw8674]

I’ve been meaning to post my specs here for a while and finally found some time this weekend to get on with it.

Just a plain and old (1987) rectangular pool with a PebbleTec & new tile facelift in 2007. Although, I’m pretty sure that I’m much prouder of what’s at the equipment pad and the electrons that make it all work rather than the pool/spa itself. ☺

20K gallon 19’x36’ Cantilevered Play/Lap Pool & 6' dia detached IG spa. Caribbean Blue Baja Mini Pebble.

It is amazing how well all this works. Helping another neighbor to get his up and running this weekend. Congrats on your smart pool.

Thanks @rstrouse ... Actually I posted this back in July of last year... These are photos from back in 2020 mostly when we were still knee-deep into the dev phase. However, I just happened to be checking out the "My Pools" section yesterday and noticed that the post like this one and one other in the REM section that I had made, were missing. They were still in my "Your Discussions" area, but were un-viewable from the discussions areas.

I seem to be the latest victim of "Github" Gremlins 😁 Certainly not the first time they have got me. Oh well... njspC, dashPanel and REM just continue to chug along like they are very happy campers...
Thanks again...

Great setup! Nice job putting it all together.

Definitely a benchmark. Funny when I first saw this post I thought " wow this guy really went all out to replicate MyAZPool's setup".
LOL

Thanks for all your work and documentation.

Any issues controlling the intelliflo3 pump? I haven’t found anything that confirms support of the newer pumps.

[rstrouse]

Just installed one last weekend. It works like a champ. It is an Intelliflo. VSF.

[Exit2Studios]

Why are they cheaper than the older Intelliflos? I have a Frankenstein Jandy dry end and Intelliflo wet end since my VSF control panel got fried, but can’t control it from njspc. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

I can only guess that it has to do with their manufacturing costs or supply chain. At one point IntelliFlo VSF was 800 bones.
