    Pool Bonding during pool equipment replacement

    I don't have a metal ladder. We just have fiberglass steps into the shallow end. We have never felt anything in terms of tingling or anything like that. The only metal that's exposed is the niche for the pool lights underwater. I don't think that it's viable to run a bonding wire from the...

    I am in the process of planning and starting to replace the AquaRite SWCG and the 1HP Single Speed Jacuzzi Magnum Force pump on my pool. I have bought the Hayward OmniLogic and Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo Variable Speed Pump. I decided to replace the AquaRite because it has had problems with the...

    Jason What's the reason behind the three way valve followed by the individual valves on the two returns? Turbulence? Back flow? I can isolate flow to either return or waterfall in either setup. Thank you for the clarification. Marek

    First Ever Pool - Above ground bestway 4.2m slice of heaven

    I really feel for you. The first summer we had our pool was extra cold and we only got to use it about a dozen times. There isn't much joy in swimming when it's 21 degrees Celsius and windy. The kids just get cold too quickly to enjoy it. Let's hope that the weather people are wrong and you...

    Laceygirls New Pool - Intex 18 x 9 x 52....

    Hang in there. Reading your posts about the challenges and joys of having a pool has made the Canadian winter a lot easier to bare. We have not had a bad winter but it's still cold. I am sure that your pool will be awesome when you are finally done with the skimmer, new filter and plumbing...

    Let's stir up some discussion

    I like the speed stir because it obviously makes the stirring easier but also because of the built in LED light. I find that I have gotten more consistent results because of the consistent lighting.

    Pool Renovation in Markham, Ontario, Canada
