    Stupid Question -- but.....

    Does Pool Math give you the exact amount (ie: if you use a measuring cup), or do you need a scale to know how much to put into the pool? I like to use a measuring cup to measure my chemicals and I'm finding it complicated to do the conversion. I'm also math disabled (which is putting it mildly)...

    For Sale -- Dolphin S300i -- Blown Motor

    Worked fine until it didn't. Stopped moving, took it in for repair, was told that it needs a new motor. Bought a new Dolphin and am putting this one up for sale -- you can either replace the motor or you can use it for parts. It's about 4-years old. It was well taken care of and I have no idea...

    Dolphin 300i Won't Clean Stairs or Shelf

    Hi, I purchased a Dolphin 300i for my new pool and I've used it (on full clean mode -- floor & walls), 8 times now.

He says the Dolphin Edge is what he can get through his supplier and doing it that way make him (ie: the PB), responsible for the warranty. He's quoting me $2550 for the Edge, which is outrageous -- considering the price for...

    New Pool Build in MA!

    Hi Everyone, The pool build has started -- the excavator is digging as I write. I'll post more details later (and pictures!), but right now, I'd like to ask a question (I'll also post the pool equipment, etc. once I figure how to set that up). We had originally thought we wanted a Paramount...

    New Pool Build -- Need Input -- Between Two Builders!

    Hi, I live in MA and have met with no less than 10 pool builders in the last 4-months. I've narrowed it down to 2 pool builders, but each one is offering very different equipment. I'd like to list out the equipment and get opinions on which builder is giving me the better deal. I'm going to...

    Anyone Had Corrosion Issues With Salt?

    Hi, Forgive me for not having the usual "description," under my name, but I'm new here -- and i'm in the "research," process of building a pool. I've met with 6 pool builders (2 more highly recommended ones to go), and am just now trying to parse out what I want (and need). One pool builder...
