    Skim Doctor 2, good or bad?

    Due to the surface tension of water in combination of the increase in gravitational pull that is created by the skim doctor- by blocking the lower depth of water and forcing the water to fall over the top, greater energy is being created in the pull of the very top layer of water. By doing...

    Skim Doctor 2, good or bad?

    My best guess is that the skim doctor creates better skimming by breaking the surface tension of the top layer of water, thereby causing the material floating on the top to gain priority (thereby get sucked in quicker) over the deeper water.

    Skim Doctor 2, good or bad?

    Waterfall Pump Controlled Thru ZWave

    Waterfall Pump Controlled Thru ZWave

    Hello, I have an existing Paddock pool install at my house that was at one point wired for control of the waterfall via a X10 PAT01 controller . So the genius I am decided to remove that X10 unit when I moved in 3 years ago and the plan was to quickly replace it with a Zwave controller to...
