Operating Valves

[Simmons99]

On the valves - I have pool school at the end of the week - DH just called and said that they were out and the spa has water now. I guess I will read those manuals and then see what they tell me on Friday.

Another stupid question - what is supply-side? I have also read "suction side" - is there a place I can get definitions for these terms. I totally understand all the chemical stuff - but the plumbing seems like a totally different world to me

supply side is the side that the water comes out of (going back to your pool) suction side is where the water flows into (gets sucked into) the pump.

Bet you bite your tongue hard when the pool school starts laying out the 4in1 tabs/floc/algaceide/phosp/bromaine/bacq, etc., etc., etc.

Actually I am going to tell them if they add anything to my pool I will have to kill them

I skated mine while it was empty too....


Not a bad session for a forty'ish year old... a couple nice carves above the light and a few back sides off the tile

I swore DH was going to end up in the hospital. I told him "whatever you do - don't say Hey kids - watch this!" Nothing good happens after that line - but luckily - he decided to get out after about 15 minutes of trying. Then he had to show off to all the neighborhood kids and lost my son's skate board down a large storm drain. Son's not too upset - dad's got to buy him a new board this weekend
