Ditto :goodjob:

Only states like Nevada are cool like that. In Chicago that pic would probably get me thrown in jail. So I won't post the pic :twisted:

I'm sure it happens all the time. It happened to me too.

I don't know if you a have a store called the great excape near you but if you do they have a cleaner made by the same company as the pool rover but it's better then the pool rover (I'm not impressed with mine too much) and it's a little cheaper. Go to shopthegreatescape.com and search for...

All the other issues aside, I think the resin rails look a lot nicer as well.

It's a fairly simple thing to do. You just run the copper wire from one of the bolts on the pool wall to the grounding lug on the pool pump. Of course, it would be good for you to make sure the pump is grounded properly as well. The grounding lug on the pump (mine) is located at the back of...

Is it an IG, AG, overlap, j-hook, etc... I would like to try and help but I need more info about your pool.

Bare copper bonding wire was specified when I did mine. Also, I believe it was 6 gauge wire.

I have a couple of 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 2" concrete pads that I dug up in the yard. I layed them into the yard and they look like they were poured in there. You could probably pick something like that up at a landscape supply yard. I know for sure that they sell plastic equipment pads (for air...

He (and the other mods too, of course) has sure helped me get my pool going pretty painlessly. Thank you!

I had the same impression as you regarding the dirt. I don't know if it's because the water's cold. Seems like if you leave it in there and forget about it for an hour and come back most everything gets cleaned up. The only problem I have is my pool's real small and not round so it misses...

I was told you can use in IG pump on an AG but not an AG pump on an IG. No big deal. I have an IG pump for my AG and it works great.

I give the foam bottom a big yeay. It makes the bottom feel "really cool" according to the experts in my family.
