I’m not sure which brand to go with. Both installers explained how theirs is better than the other. Both seem to make sense in their own ways lol! Anyone who has experience with them please chime in. Both come with a 12-year worry free parts and labor warranty. (7) 4’x12’ Heliocol H-50 panels...

Got another quote from Sierra Pacific. A little more than the previous system quote at $6,892, but for (8) FAFCO SunSaver ST panels. The rest is the same. Tie into my AquaLink automatic control and 12-year worry free warranty on everything.

Our roof is slanted tile.

Ok I just got a quote today from SolarOn. My local pool store recommended them. $6,000 to install (7) Heliocol HC-50 panels, tie into Aqua Link Auto Control, and paint pipes to match the house. Comes with a 12 year warranty (parts, labor, and freeze protection). I think we’re gonna pull the...

What does it typically cost to have a solar heating panel system installed for a 17,000 gallon pool? I think our H400ID heater is just good for the spa.

I run the pool filter daily 4hrs lately. A lot more during the summers

How long do these hoses usually last? Our Pool Sweep 360 pressure side is about 3 years old. Lately I’ve been having to shorten my hose little by little coz it keeps cracking near the beginning of the hose. Should I replace the just 1st portion that keeps cracking or replace the entire hose? I...

Thanks! I was just comparing Walmart 10% @ $0.305/ounce (4 gallons $15.62) vs. my local All Seasons Pools & Spas 12.5% @ $0.301/ounce (4 gallons $19.29)

I just wanted to say thank u to everyone participating on this site! Followed the SLAM procedure & took a lot of advice (lots of reading) here. My pool has been crystal clear for the past weeks now! U all rock!! - - - Updated - - - Also I've been using a filter sock in my skimmer & it catches...

Ok I'm about to add 4 lbs. of Cyanaric acid. Does this stuff desolve quickly? Is it better to pout thru the skimmer or can I just dump it in the deep end?

Pool is green :( These past 3 weeks have been messy in our backyard. We had a lot of cement work & landscaping done, so there's been quite a bit of debris getting in the pool. I just cleaned the filter cartridges last night & started running the pump filter 24hrs. Here's the readings I have...

What do y'all prefer using between the box store bleaches vs. the HASA bleach? I see the Clorox 8.3% stuff at Costco going for $8.89 for 3 gallons & the 12.5% HASA stuff for $17.xx for the 4-pack.

Thanks I'm gonna order the Pleatco 4-pack from Amazon. Good deal $132.31 with Prime :)

Well we've lived at this house for almost 3 years now & have no idea how old the cartridge filters are. Last week I cleaned them out & noticed cracks on the "hard" rubber ends & some of the strings torn. I think they're due for replacement:) I see so many choices on Amazon, EBay, even saw some...

Haha I almost bought some today at Costco, but wanted to check in with y'all 1st. $8.89 for a 3 pack over here in Roseville.
