    I want to get the Barracuda MX8 cleaner, but no posts about it. Help

    I have a dolphin premier robotic cleaner, the thing is amazing! Gets the pool spotless, down to the smallest particles. 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Suggestions on how to cut deck boards

    Router with flush trim bit is absolutely the best way to go.... 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Not sure where you got your pricing for HTH, but we buy it at Wallmart for under 3$ a gallon :-) Thanks 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Is it still normal for the 3ppm of FC to be used up daily? 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    I'll start with my CYA is 45.... I'm using a gallon of HTH liquid Chlorine a day (light bather load 4ppl). Does this seem about normal consumption??? Trying to maintain 3-6 ppm 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part...

    Sand Filter Problems

    I'm not sure what the Sand was exactly, bought it from the pool store. I do remember thinking that it looked a little coarse 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI

    Sand Filter Problems

    One thing I am worried about is that when I built it, I used 1.5" PVC, if I had to do over I would change to 2", but no going back on that now :/ 20x40 IG Vinyl 35k gal, Hayward 24" Sand filter, Built fall of 2013, Single Speed Jandy 1.5hp Pump, Southwest Part of MI
