    Liner Replacement, Rusty Walls and Rip Out SWG???

    24,000 gallon in-ground pool, 11 years old. Just had the liner replaced. My liner guy (who frequents TFP and will probably see this, hey Mike!) has replaced 100's of liners and is very, very adamant that I rip the SWG out of my pool and use something, anything else. He says that salt-water...

    Is my SWG cell dying?

    Hello TFPers! I'm starting my 4 season with a SWG pool and mid last season I started having trouble keeping FC in the pool. Prior, my pool was basically maintenance free, very easy to balance and keep FC. All signs lead to my salt cell going bad, however if I capture water coming right from...

    So I am in the market for a pool heater and for one, can't decide between gas and electric. Was all set on electric because of its efficiency but I'm just not sure how much we'll run it so gas might be a better choice (plus gas heats up the pool a lot quicker). So any other thoughts on this...

    Pentair Intelliflo SVRS Sucks! (and not literally)

    Hello TFP family! I don't post much, mostly lurking. Just for clarification, I actually don't think the Pentair pump sucks...just the SVR System itself. ;-) I'm hoping someone can give me some tips on my Pentair Intelliflo VS-SVRS pump with the ever-so annoying SVRS. When I want to vacuum my...

    Under water breathing apparatus?

    Hello all! I've got a crazy idea which I believe is easier and a more fun way to clean my inground pool. I've been diving down with my vacuum hose and been cleaning that way. However I need a way to breathe under water. I tried a garden hose attached to a snorkel and this didn't work past a...
