I'm going to get this "Tear Aid" myself. This April, we discovered a 3" tear near the base of the stairs, just where it rounds at the bottom. Local pool guys patched it twice, but it pulled loose. They came out yesterday (water is warmer) and tried a third time. Said the tear is in the worst...

Actually, I think that's the one I meant. It's the newest one.

I'm eyeing this Polaris 9300 Sport pretty closely. Looks like a good robot.

Oh gosh, thanks for the tip. We have three depths, and some long gradually sloping bottom angles. Hmmm, might be an issue. Great feedback, thank you very much.

I'm sold. Last question: which testkit does the oracle here recommend?

Gentlemen I thank you all for the excellent feedback! Just what I was looking for. We bought this place last summer and I'm brand new to pools. I can't say why the previous owner installed a 2HP pump four years ago, unless he seemed to think "bigger is always better." My three jets DO put out a...

My local pool service is recommending replacing my increasingly loud single speed 2HP Pentair Whisperflo WF28 with an Intelliflo for around $1200. Said it would pay for itself in energy saving. I've read several email strings of folks having problems with their Intelliflo pumps. Have had other...
