    Does anybody know if I wanted to upgrade from iAqualink 2.0 to 3.0 is it simply a matter of replacing the antenna with the new IA30-A network interface module? or do I need to replace the control board as well. Pool was built/installed in 2016 and came with 2.0, but it would be nice to have...

    Ive started my Owner Builder pool here in Southern California. It's just my wife and I (no kids) so this is an adult pool. My wife wanted a "shoebox" so that is what we've designed.

    Artificial Turf Near a SWG Pool?

    Anybody have any experience or comments about installing artificial turf near (about one foot) a pool with a SWG?

    California People - Where to get my water?

    Im concerned about water cost since our local Los Angeles utility provider will ding my bill pretty hard when I go to fill up my pool. On top of the water cost, they will add a 60% sewer service charge and tax everything on top of that. How have the locals filled their pool? Do you have the...
