Lowes carries it too. Most likely cheaper than the fool store and it doesn't come with refusal of "better" products.

I agree. I had the same exact experience, foreclosure, pool full of algae and leaves, towards spring time mosquito larvae were hatching. Someone from the city actually knocked on my door and told me to clean up the swamp otherwise I'd be fined. I hired the pool guy, not much luck. After a month...

Very similar experience with Solarchlor. It was my first time (and season) owning a pool. I read a lot, and then I read some more. Having maintained fish tanks full of life over the years and having learned from scratch I figured I'd use some of that experience with a 180 turn to self maintain...

Resurrecting this old thread because it's got a few good ideas that I drew inspiration from. I've been toying with the DIY idea since I spent 200 dollars on a piece of junk that never worked right. My idea involves bearings. And no welding. I am planning to permanently mount it on the...

I dont think it'll crawl out. This thing uses water for propulsion. If it's not sucking any water, it won't have any power to go anywhere and it'll fall back in. The downfall of this is that it'll suck in some air, making its trip back inside the water a little more difficult. My advice, try it...

I have an inground 15k gal pool that was a massive mess before I bought the house. After some trial and error, losing a fight with the algae, massive chlorine demand and stains in the plaster I just couldn't get rid of, i decided to bite the bullet, drain, acid wash, prime, paint and refill...

I just started using unobtainium in mine. Algae gone, water, gone, plaster gone, swimmers gone. Soon I'll go too... POOF!!! I'm gone! :)

Don't know... I've cleaned the filter daily for the past 4 days. It is catching but nowhere near enough. I'm going to post some pics tomorrow.

Good idea on the pantyhose. Didn't think about it. What I was trying to do was catch all the big stuff in the mesh bag and the rest of the water with the finer debris would go directly to the filter. I'm brand new to this... it's my first home and my first pool that's why my approach may be a...

I'm thinking of ordering Poolskim but I've got a bit of a situation that wouldn't be remedied by this product alone. My pool was just de-greened, water is clear but cloudy. there are a lot of debris swimming about, built in skimmer just won't catch them for some reason. the debris will float on...
