My 8110 has been working perfectly on our 18' metal frame for 6 years now. Three hours per day keeps the pool perfectly chlorinated. This season is the first time I've had a problem with the trusty old 8110. The daily internal timer is not fully functioning. Each day at the appropriate time the...

:wave: I too would be interested in sources of information for first-time hot tub buyers. Our pool is truly Troublefree because of the generous folks on this site. Now I am considering adding a spa to the patio for year-round use. I am shocked at the choices and especially the prices. Some...

Hi folks, new to the site, new to pools. Installed a Intex 18x48 metal frame last weekend. Filling with well water was completed about 3 days ago. I am installing an outdoor electrical outlet for the pool pump but the ridiculous amount of rain we are having in Oklahoma is filling my trench...
