    Goldline AquaRite 40K vs 20K

    I found an online seller that appears to have a great price on the 20K system with a 15-cell, which is the largest they make. Their 40K system also comes with the 15-cell; however, there is a $150 price difference. So what wouldn't the smaller controller have that the larger would? My pool...

    Polaris 360 prices

    I picked up one on eBay last month for $379 shipped, and it was brand spanking new! It may be a little more difficult to find one that cheap with us almost getting full swing into the pool season. I just checked, and the person I bought it from on eBay doesn't have any more for sale. Just...

    Please review this quote and give me advice

    Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in, but my pool is smaller and not as deep as yours, and I am using a 1.5 hp pump. I'm thinking a 1 hp may be a little small, but I'm not totally sure. I only have a couple of suggestions that you may or may not have addressed already but just...

    Pool deck / coping: cut or no cut? Need advice.

    Thanks! It doesn't compare to some of them I've seen on here, but my wife and I are pretty happy. We just need some grass! I'm so tired of sand and dirt! Thanks for the advice! Does anyone have any pics of their coping nose having been cut all the way through, so I can compare and decide...

    Pool deck / coping: cut or no cut? Need advice.

    I have an in-ground vinyl pool which was installed earlier this month. The pool decking is made of cement with a sprayed on texture which is painted (see pics). The pool installer cut "slits" in the cement around the pool, more than likely to prevent cracks from expanding & contracting cement...

    jjdurrant, You might want to get a Speedstir Magnetic Stirrer from TFTestkits.net. A magnetic stirrer makes testing so much quicker and easier! IMO, well worth the money! HTH! -Dennis

    I'm posting this reply to benefit others that I missed out on. FYI: According to the manufacturer's website, the portable magnetic stirrer from Apollo Pools is no longer being manufactured. I came across this thread which gave me the idea that I wanted one no matter what after purchasing a...

    So you want to add borates to your pool--Why and How

    My pool was completed last week, and I did the deal yesterday! You should have seen my wife's and teenage daughter's faces and heard their comments as I poured the Muriatic acid & 20 Mule Team Borax in! Talk about a clean smell! I cleaned out both Walmarts in the area! Is there anything...

    Help w/ Bleach feeding thru Pentair In-line Chlorinator

    Thanks, guys! I seriously thought about a liquidator, but read there are issues with it that I would rather not deal with. JasonLion, I will definitely avoid mixing the two! Thanks! Bama Rambler, I may be misunderstanding something. 50 mL/min = 1.69 oz/min I'm just guesstimating that I...
