I was hoping to control the heater, lights & fountains. I would also like to monitor the salt levels. I was planning on doing it myself. I'll check out the nodes pool controller. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some recommendations on pool automations/smart pool controllers. My SWG went at the end of the season & I have decided to upgrade my equipment. In your opinion what is the best automation controller out there? Thanks for your help

Thanks PoolGate for the reply. I have a sand filter that everything runs through before. Do you think that would be fine or is there a chance of small sand particles leaving the filter and getting stuck in the water feature?

Hi everyone, For those who have a water feature, do you have a separate filter for it? If so what filter are you using? Thanks for you help.

Hey everyone, Has anyone had the problem with water pooling on top of their safety cover? If so what did you do to fix it? Thanks

Re: Where am I going wrong.....algae outbreak. Just outside Toronto, Canada. The weather hasn't been that great lately, below 60. It just started to warm up so I decided to open the pool. I live in a rural area. I'm wondering if the dirt/silt has a higher organic matter due to the surrounding...

Re: Where am I going wrong.....algae outbreak. During the SLAM process there is FC loss. Are sand filters known to take longer to filter the water? Would a cartridge filter do a better job?

Hi Everyone, I am having an issue with algae when I open my pool. For the last two years within an hour of pulling off the safety cover I get an outbreak. At first the water is a bit cloudy but I can see the bottom that has a thin layer of silt/dirt. I start the pump, get the water circulating...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm guess vacuuming, brushing and maintaining the shock level is the only thing I can do until to clears up. I'm about to go to work would you recommend that I run my robotic cleaner in the pool while I'm gone?

Hey everyone, I'm totally stumped on this one. I opened my pool almost a week a go and I can not get it cleaned. I have shocked it a few times, vacuumed, brushed it, backwashed filter and it is still dirty. When I opened the pool the water was kinda of cloudy but you could see the bottom. It...

Thanks! My wife and I came up with the design. - - - Updated - - - I have no idea. I was just going with your instructions on how to post with flickr. Here's it through Photobucket. Hope you can see this one.

Hey everyone, I just wanted some advice. My liner has floated causing wrinkles once a season for the past three years. I have corrected different things each year (24/7 dry well pump, ground water drainage, drainage into a field tile) thinking that I have solved the problem and it keeps...

Hey everyone, I need your advice. To make a long story short I ended up getting water behind my liner and it started to float. I used my dry well to pump out the water, now my liner has a few wrinkles in it. Can I get them out manually or does my liner need to be reset? Your advice would be...

If you want to upgrade your receiver the Pioneer VSX-1023-K has everything that you're asking for. I have the this receiver and I'm very happy with it.

Hey zea3 The dark blue cover is the winter cover that is clipped into the tracking (the white along the top). The liner is also connected to the tracking. The tracking is held to the galvanized wall with self tapping screws. What has happened is over the winter the self tapping screws have...

Hey everyone, As the snow and ice is melting off my pool, I discovered this. Has anyone had this happen to them? Do you think my liner will be ruined? Thanks

Thanks poolkid for the suggestion. I ended up going with the Bose 251 and a Pioneer vsx-1023-k receiver. The receiver is network capable with airplay and multi-zone. I'm really looking forward to getting everything hooked up and going. Cheers!

Hey everyone, I'm planning on upgrade the sound quality around my pool this season. Currently I've been using my Bose docking station with an iPod. It did a good job but this year I've decided to get some outdoor speakers and a receiver. For the outdoor speakers I've been looking at the Bose...

Here's what it looks like now. Thanks again for your input! Cheers!

Your Pool looks awesome!! What's the width of the water features & what height is your wall?

Thanks bk406! I took your advice and went with a 2" overhang. It looks good. I can't wait till the rest of the stone & pavers are installed. Thanks again!

Hey everyone, My pool ready to have the coping installed. I'm going with wiarton stone coping that is 2 inch thick by 12 inches wide. I was wondering what is the average length for stone coping to overhang on a vinyl pool? Also what is the minimum and maximum overhang lengths. Thanks

Hey guys, Thanks for your input. I ended putting the pool where I originally was thinking. Once the pool is done there will be enough slope for any water to get away from the pool and decking area. Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I need your suggestions on where to put my pool. I'm going with a rectangle 16 x 32 vinyl pool. Construction starts next week. I'm starting to have second thought of where I want it. Originally I was going to put it parallel with the house about 20' out (picture 1) and have paver...
