Thank you. I'll pay attention to that when I replace it. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Anybody? Bueller?

Any tricks that I need to be aware of? Looks like all I need to do is unscrew the retaining bolt and replace. Is it that simple? I'm assuming that the sensor is bad. Heater setting always is at least 5 degrees higher than the actual temp in the pool. I don't remember it being that way last...

Thanks. Concrete is 22 inches on stair side and 26 on the other. 38 inches on skimmer end and about 50 on the auto cover end.

We do use our autocover as our winter cover and it seems to be holding up just fine. My pool builder closed my pool the first year and basically walked me through it so that I could do it myself in future years. I have done it myself the last three years. I leave the water level at its...

I bought one of these. It's the same principal as the fountain above. It does work fairly well. http://mistcooling.com/poolcooler.htm

This is my 4th season with my autocover and I have not had any problems. (knock on wood).

How do,you like this tv? I have been looking at those for quite some time now, but have not pulled the trigger. How is the brightness and overall quality?

I have to disagree here. I live in IL and the heater makes the pool so much more usable to us. We don't heat it all the time, but when we choose to swim (even on a cool weekend) all we have to do is turn on the heat and I can get it to whatever temp we want. If you are going to get a heater...

I have a coverstar auto pool cover and don't have any air jets. I didn't even know that was possible. Mine just rubs on the deck as it closes and opens. Still going strong after 3 years.
