    SeanB and the hurricane

    Just checked in to say hello. 2nd day back to work (never lost power- go figure). Still without power at the house. Not expected to have any back until October according to the line crews in the area. On a pool note, thankfully I heavily chlorinated the pool before the storm. Besides the...

    2 or 3 colorlogic/intellibright lights in 20X40 pool?

    Re: do you have? Yes, that is a deep end. I have 2 love benches in the pool. The one on the left has an additional step added to make it a little easier to get out of the pool. Works great for the older folks and my lab. Good luck with your decisions.

    2 or 3 colorlogic/intellibright lights in 20X40 pool?

    Suggestions on setting up my new Polaris 280?

    Make small adjustments when you screw in/out the little buoy on the top. Also, small adjustments on the outlet port on the back of the unit itself. A little goes a long way.
