TFP, I live in Massachusetts and faithfully close my pool per TFP directions every year. I need to winterize by blowing out pipes/antifreeze/drain pump etc. so I do not get freeze up in pipes. This means I cannot run my SWG year round and, due to pool water freeze-over, I cannot shock during...

All, I live in New England and am looking at purchasing a solar cover to keep in heat gained during the day. The sun is on my pool from @8:30 until about 4 pm. Questions: *Is thicker better (more heat or heat retention) other than the warranty or longevity? *Anyone in New England with a...

All, Looking for websites, Instructions, how-tos on how to prep and pour your own pool deck. I currently have a lousy condition on 3 sides of the pool and would like to start next season on pouring a good deck. Thanks

I used the gallon calculator in this: http://www.poolcalculator.com/ 18 x 36 x5.5 deep

If your CYA is too high it will keep FC longer/better than normal. Also how is your SWCG sized to your pool? I bought mine oversized on purpose and run it at 10-20% most of the year.

This may not help, but I have used "Concentrated" Clorox before. Listed as 8.35% instead of 6.25%. As previously stated, be sure the sodium hypochloarte % is listed and there are no added frills (scented etc). Regards,

I have the same size pool and this is what I bought: (RJ45) http://www.circupool.com/compare-chlori ... ystems.php I run it at about 20% when pool is not being used and bump it up as necessary. Great system.

I have an existing IGP that is fully bonded to code including the ladder. I do not however have the handrail to the stairs installed. I would have to drill into the concrete to install this but due to the concrete, I would not be able to ground/bond it. What would this mean if I installed it...

Devolved, The rest of the kind folks on this site are probably tired of hearing me rave about my CircuPool. http://www.circupool.com/compare-chlori ... ontactForm Affordable, easy to use and made in Australia! Good luck.

conrad, The RJ45 seems the right size for your pool. Always oversize so you do not have to run 100%. I run mine at 20-30% depending on use. FC stays at 3-5 ppm.

For what it is worth, my strip readings and my SWG indicated (digital readout) readings are usually within 100 ppm of each other. By my standards, that is pretty good. (3%+/-)
