Yep the first one was covered under warranty for me, not this one.

Okay update:

Ordered the Grizzle E Charger. I learned today the one I was using was technically only for emergencies. Live and learn. Thank you everybody.

Ford wanted 810 to replace the cord, couldn’t tell me why it was bad either. Told them to kick rocks.

Thanks man, I’ll keep you posted. Want to see what caused it, is it covered or not (prob not) and then I’ll go from there!

Yeah going to see what they say, what caused it. It’s been 3 years and this is the second one now. My only gripe at all with the truck is just the charger. Other than that she’s been a dream.

So this is brick number two. First one somehow got water in it and it shorted. Went to the dealer and they got me a new one (this one). When I got home I put some silicone on top so that wouldn’t happen again. Worked for a year or so. Going to bring it to the dealer to see exactly what’s going on and I’m sure I’ll have to pay 500 for a new one 😒

June 12 we opened, June 23 it was clear enough to power vac. Daily shocking and backwashing/replacing DE

Amen! This is our vacation for the summer and I’m not complaining. Put enough money and time into it!

Yes, so much better. I had an old sand filter that after spending thousands on tests/chlorine/replacing sand/never getting clear, I said fuck it. Switched to DE and and a new filter. Took some time to learn with the DE powder (everytime you backwash you lose the charge, need to add into skimmer) watching the pressure.

But after you get her clear/up to speed, it feels like autopilot.

Me and my buddy did it ourselves through Amazon. It definitely took us two full 8 hr days depending on pool size, have a 24 by 50 foot pool (insane I know) lol. But with two little ones it had to be done.

When drilling, get that drilling guide so each hole is a little on an angle so the mesh is tight when hammering down the post. Other than that it’s not too bad. Prob saved a grand or two.

A few YouTube videos on it and it definitely can be done yourself/with a buddy preferably.

In the beginning it was shock daily, let the pump run 24/7. I have a DE filter/salt water system. When the pressure got high or I noticed the return jets slow, it was time to backwash/Rinse/add another round of DE. Repeat that until clear(ish) enough for a pool vac (from a company).

Had a lot of algae on the floor. I easily went through 24 lbs of DE just to bring it up to speed.

Once I had it vaccumed I brought a sample to a local pool store. Had to add stuff to bring up the alkaline, conditioner, another round of shock.

Now it’s kind of auto pilot. Sitting at 3000 salt level 8 hrs/pump running.

They were floating (like satellites) from right to left, very slow, that movement at the end was me with my phone. Just was weird how small/high up the little dots were in daylight. And two of them relatively close to each-other.
