Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I’d probably try it at both setting before doing the right thing……contacting Ecotech and seeing what they say.
It’s interesting that 8 mm is almost right in the middle of ¼ inch and 3/8 inch. Eight millimeters is 0.065 inches more than a ¼ inch and 0.060 inches less than 3/8 of an inch.
Can you run a skimmer without rock or sand? :grin::grin:
The race is one….what’s going to be delivered first…the skimmer or the sand and rock? I’m taking odds.
Canopy Build
Almost there……here it is with the door open:
And here it is with the door closed (paint still wet):
Couple little things to finish up….need to putty holes and touch-up; need to shim hinges (door is slightly sprung); need to install canopy fan (hole temporarily...
Continuation of the Canopy Build

George and Ryan, here’s the story. I’ve always known that I’ve had low water pressure. We considered a lawn sprinkler system a number of years ago, and the guy said we only had thirty-something pounds of pressure, and would have to put in multiple zones for it all to work correctly.
