I was amping up my FC before adding salt to the pool, in anticipation of having to keep my swg off for 24 hours, so I had my swg at 100%. I thought I had turned my swg down to 0% before I added 80 lbs of salt, but after looking at it after about 7 hours, my swg was still at 100%. Did I ruin it...

I really want to purchase the Betta 2 skimmer, but an alarming number of Amazon reviews mention that they break within the first 1-4 months. A lot of people mention they are on their 2nd and 3rd machine, but they love it. $500 is a lot of money to spend on a great machine that breaks within a...

I was looking to buy a Ledge Lounger and I noticed few of you mention that you bought second (returned) Ledge Loungers directly from the company. I called today and was able to get 2 Ledge Loungers for $400 each. I asked what kind of condition they were in and she said they were already boxed...

I’m currently having a pool built and I chose to go with ivory travertine for the coping as well as deck. Most of the travertine has been laid down, but something doesn’t look right to me. I’ve read about travertine deterioration and discoloring due to sun and water. I’m wondering if maybe some...
