    Noodle Purpose

    Hello - I'm confident that I am missing the boat on the closing pool school post. What is the purpose of the torn up noodle, and how is it placed within the skimmer? Thanks!

    Pentair IC-40 Too Big

    I have run into the issue that my IC-40 SWG is too large for my pool. We had an extremely hot summer and I did not have to increase the SWG by 20% the entire time. I do keep my pump on 24/7 on low (it's a two speed) and would like to continue to do that in the future. I would like to figure...

    New Pool - Need to decide Cleaner Type

    Hello! My pool build is just before the plumbing phase and I'm deciding whether or not I should have my PB plumb in a dedicated pressure line. I'm debating on either getting the Polaris 280 installed and plumbed with a 1/2 hp booster pump for $900 or just buying the robotic Blue Diamond pool...

    My Pool Build - St. Charles MO

    So the past few months I've been researching (thanks to all the posters before me) and getting bids on my new pool. I finally have decided on a bidder and my personal set up. My builder hasn't broken ground yet and therefore I've naturally started questioning every decision I've made along the...
