I have a set of drop-in steps for my inground pool. It says to use (3) 60lb sand bags (not included). Where do I buy the proper sand bags? Masons sand ok for this? Thanks

A friend recommended the Baracuda G3 as a pretty good pool cleaner. I saw that there is a G4 model also. Is the extra $$ worth it to get the G4, instead of the G3. Thanks for any input.

Sta-Rite advice needed I've been looking at the Sta-Rite Great White and PoolShark cleaners. I don't see much difference in either price or features, or am i missing something? Any words of advice on these or reviews? My pool is an in-ground vinyl lined 18X36, 3.5-4.5 foot deep. Thanks

We are renovating our pool and have a bit of a debate going on between the pool guy and the concrete guy. The pool has polymer sides and a vinyl liner. The pool guy wants the concrete deck poured so that concrete doesn't end up in the pool. He doesn't think the concrete guys are not neat...

Thanks much for the information. I will find the liquid electrical tape and use it to seal everything.

I am going to relocate my pool filter and pump to another area farther away from the pool. Is there a proper way to splice and extend the 6 ga. bonding wire that attaches to the pump? I was considering a split bolt splice. Thanks.
