    Hanging Digital Thermometer

    I've lightly Googled and searched here, haven't found one. Is there such a thing as a 'hanging' digital thermometer? I don't want a floating one. I want to know what the temp is a foot down like my old, recently deceased, hanging analog? one showed. But I would love to have a digital, so I...

    Header Size

    I realize 2" is the recommended size for the Fafco headers. But our plumbing here at the cabin is only 1 1/2" so wouldn't getting 2" be useless? We planned on using 6 4'x10' panels. Which they said would really be 12 2'x2'? I was ready to 'click' and then had these doubts. What we're after...

    Does Running the Pump Cool the Pool Water?

    Our pump puts out a pretty good swirl in our small pool. So we wonder if it cools the water, when run during the day? We don't need it to be cooled. Brrrr. We're having a lovely summer, but not a lovely summer for swimming, most days.

    Drop Test for Ph?

    Is there a drop test for Ph? Or have I missed the boat? I am having trouble reading the colorator that came with my TFP kit. I see people posting numbers that are not on the colorator. Are they just guesstimating? I would like a exact number:) Not my wife and I guessing what shade it is. Is...

    AGP Cover Pump

    Teensy Whine.............

    Okay, I have a small complaint... that I can't ever tell if the info is for ABG Pools or ING Pools. I think we should have a much more vocal and active ABG Pool section than we do. Once in awhile I see a asteric that says 'if you have ABGP'. I know that I specifically chose a ABG Pool...

    Vacuums

    I have another question. In fact I have a million questions :) But this one is about the vacuum cleaner head that came with our pool. It's triangle shaped, brushes on the bottom, blue and it only pulls backwards. Is that right? Is that the way it works or what? You can't push it forward...

    Cloudy Water, High TA...

    Hi to All, Our first pool's been cloudy for a month now. Can’t see the bottom. White cloudy. We have exhausted the advice of our local pool store, that isn’t really a pool store:) We have a arsenal of chemicals on hand (Pool Life). Yesterday we drained a third of the water and...
