I forgot to add lights. It looks like a Sylvan pool. That would lead me to believe you have American Products lights. American Products is now part of Pentair. That means Intellibrite LED lights will fit your niches. I didn't see the deck boxes in your pictures so I can't say how long the cord needs to be. The choices are 30, 50, 100 and 150 feet long. Measure the distance from the deck box to the pool edge near the light niche. Add 10' to allow for the rise from the inside of the pool to the deck boxes and service slack. A 31' total run would need a 50' equipped light fixture. The excess will get cut off. Don't get one that's too short because extending the cord would not pass an inspection and could be hazardous.

I thought I'd update here as well. I sowed in Nov 2015 so 2 years and 2 months ago. It's been a while! I finally got a bloom. It's a little plain, but pretty. The caudex itself is really nice. I have 4 survivors out of 10 seeds sowed. The other 3 are half the size and haven't bloomed yet. Oddly this one had significant rot cut out of it last year and it didn't flinch. We've had a cold spell here in S. Florida so it dropped its leaves. It's about a foot tall from soil line to top. Show me yours from the grow out!

Happy Friday everyone. I know some are just getting started. What are your thoughts on starting a new thread where everyone posts photographs of their seeds/seedlings no matter what their status along with their sowed date, age, and remind us all of your location and current weather conditions. This will replace the recording stats in the spreadsheet (from last year's grow out) and I think will be a nice way of documenting our progress periodically. Tracy

The Serial number of the unit in question doesn't lie, but those offering up excuses after the fact probably will. Either to save their own face, soothe your feelings or a little of both. Bigger companies with ample warehouse space often times buy up large quantities of equipment. America is currently built by selling as much of a particular item all at once instead of 'one at a time'. They do this because they marginally get better prices than buying just one thing at a time. Why every time you see an infomercial selling something they tell you can get 2 for the price of 1, for an additional fee. You buy in bulk and you get a marginally better price for buying more. However, this isn't as great as it seems when it comes to HVAC equipment & warranty related trouble. The more space you have the more over head you have so unless you are actually moving the equipment (which often times does not occur) you wind up with a warehouse full of old equipment. Hopefully this doesn't mean used or some other situation. Plus on top of all that taxes on that in stock equipment take a good bite out of what kind of deal they think they are getting by buying in bulk. If they are moving the equipment (only then) does it work. People see this type of thing a mile away... (when it becomes all about selling new equipment) then everything and any thing becomes a case for replacing the equipment instead of repairing it. While true the warranty would still be valid, in theory you can read any manufacturer warranty fine print and 'if' a start up date can not be determined said manufacturer will only give you probably not more than 90 days from the date code within the serial number. It might be as little as 60 days from the date code. So as an example: if the unit was made in April 2015, was properly registered and installed in 2019 the recorded time is in the hands of manufacturer and their validation systems. If you lose that start up paper work, you could get swindled out of it. Because the serial number doesn't lie, that is why. If the unit was not registered and installed in 2019 the warranty is reduced to 5 years which should be 2024, but because the serial number doesn't lie and there is no record of when the install occurred other than paper work. Well this is how people lose. Under this possible scenario the unit would be out of warranty by the end of this month. (Unit made in 2015, installed in 2019 and not registered... good luck trying to get that honored by Carrier. I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.) Due to the serial number, they would likely claim you are lying. Carrier equipment is a pain to do any warranty claim for. So the odds are you lose, by default. This is how it works from someone who actually files warranty claims on equipment failures. Circa 2020. I buy equipment only after you put a deposit on it... in most cases 99% of the time it is fresh off the factory floor. On rare occasion it might be 1.5 years old. Meaning instead of current year, it's previous year made. I service the Katy, Texas area.
