No help for the OP but question from a novice - Why does a pool require a green ground and not the bare ground from the romex?

yea your rite that would be pretty obsurd

This would look pretty hack but would it be allowable to stack a few box extendors?

I have a boiler controlled by a 4 zone taco relay box. Zones are 1st fl, 2nd fl, basement and domestic hot. I have been home sick this week and its been cold out so i have been able to observe the boiler working under its hardest conditions. I am constantly hearing the boiler fire for one the...

The guy who did the work is supposed to come check it out on Monday. Could poor balancing of the phases cause this? I mean could having to many high current items on this phase cause the splice to fail even if it was installed correctly?

Thanks for the answers guys. I left it original to the panel to save money and because the sparkies who checked it out told me i would be fine for at least 10 years. In terms of the splice in the panel i was told it was fine I dunno. Clearly you can see why one would not want a splice in the...

Backround: 100 year old house with 90% new / newer wiring, New panel installed 18months ago, service and meter and weather head from ~60's. About a month ago i noticed some of my lights flickering. I shrugged it off until i saw it happening more consistently. The circuits i was seeing...

I have no real comment on payback time etc. . . I am diy not a pro. I used 1/2 inch xps then a double layer of 1/2 ply over that for comfort and i love it. We use the basement as a tv / play room and are often sitting on the floor. It way more comfortable for both temp and softness...

Yea i figured that it was normal because the boiler had reached operating temp. I just had never had it happen with the other zones and i am far from a plumber so i was thinking i may of screwed something up. This zone is a real low volume baseboard loop so it makes sense. thanks mark

I have a 4 zone hot water boiler. I reticently added the 4th zone. I have noticed that occasionally when the 4th zone is calling for heat the boiler will turn off while it is still calling for heat. When this happens the circ pump for that zone is still pumping and the boiler is up to temp...

Thanks for the advice. I will order the parts today.

Yea I have a ball valve downstream of the bib to force all the water out of the house bib.

I bleed my my domestic using this method last year. But my memory is a bit foggy. Do I have The procedure rite? I turn the heat on for the basement, shut the valves to the other zones both on the return and output, open the hose valve and let it flow until there is no air sputtering...

i am aware of the id difference with pex. However i am certain that 3/4 is the size i want. The thing i am unsure on is the bleeding.
