I love my pool rover jr!! I keep the cord from twisting by using pool noodles (I get them from my local Dollar Tree store.) Just cut a slit down one side of the noodle and slide it onto the cord. Use as many as you need!

I will be installing a through wall skimmer on my Intex pool; any suggestions as to the best location for the skimmer? I'm also considering turning the original intake into a 2nd return; has anyone had success (or problems) with that conversion?

I use an Aquabot Pool Rover Jr in my 20' Ultra Frame and it works great.

Thanks for the info! I was afraid if I got one and it didn't fit, I wouldn't know how to make it fit. I see that it is a simple fix!

I think I need a new pressure gauge for my sand filter; the gauge never moves. It will register 0 with the pump off but when the pump is on it never goes above 5. It's the gauge that originally came with the system. Given the fact that Intex has proprietary sizing on all of their equipment, I...

If you've added enough CYA to get to 60ish, your minimum FC needs to be 3. Use Pool Math to add enough bleach to get to 3 and try running the SWG for the 3 hour recommendation to see if it holds. Remember 3 is the minimum, you don't want to go below it or risk getting algae. You may have to...

Also don't worry about testing for copper and go ahead and disconnect the copper electrode

Do you have an Intex SWG? If it's like mine, don't worry about boost mode. If you need to increase FC or SLAM, add bleach.

If you do have to contact Coleman I hope you have an easier experience than I had with Intex.

Although I've never bought a pool from Doheny's, I have bought several accessories from them and never had any problems.

I agree with jeffchap. I also have a SWG and get these tiny bubbles too.

I just had a similar situation; my pump was off for 3 days from a power outage. I brushed the pool once or twice a day to circulate the water and tested FC to make sure it stayed at an appropriate level. I only had to add bleach once. Also use a leaf rake to get debris out of the water.

Never heard of the wall whale until now. Might see if someone local has it in stock.

Everything was balanced per TFPC recommendations. It's rainy and cool this weekend so I think I'll stick to brushing.

We had a tree fall on our power line coming to the house and the power will likely be out until Monday. My plan right now is to test FC a couple of times per day and adjust the level with bleach as needed. Since the pump won't be running, I'm going to brush the pool to keep things...
