We have the other “no-no” in this forum, an ozoneator. May look into saltwater, but haven’t had any issues yet. Our pool water is like it just came out of the faucet. This part of Florida is great - we love it. I PCS’d to Hurlburt in ‘98 and have been here since! Thanks for the help! I was...

Yes, we are. I know they’re not recommended, but I deploy a lot and we pay to have our pool taken care of.

I'm adding a Heat Pump to our pool and I need to add a check valve. All of the installation instructions I see say to install the Check Valve AFTER all the bypass valves and before the feeder (Check valve shown in red). Unfortunately I don't have much room to work with and I'd prefer to add...

Did you ever get an answer?

That's close to what we do. We get a beach ball, spray paint it black, then use the spray tangle on it. Then we'll hang it somewhere close and they flies go straight for it!

I've been considering this for a while too, and I think I'm going to get a TP-Link Kasa wifi switch and put in a good waterproof cover. I'll be able to turn it on and off (and switch colors) using my phone, and I'll be able to set a timer to turn it on and off any/every day. They're also Alexa...

We were having a lot of issues with out baskets because of our neighbors Birch tree. I could clean the pool and instantly it would be dirty again with leaves and seeds. The seeds would get so bad that the skimmer would fill up and suck the basket down. This year I purchased a "Skim-A-Round"...
