Thanks Chris. The problem with what is available locally is normally either, eastern Asia brands, or for the likes of Pentair, tripple the cost. So even with shipping costs from America, the cost is lower than local. My main concern would be reliability. Also, i'm sure that warranties would be...

Thanks Herman, didn't realize there were delays.

Hello all, first post.(y) Need help with pool equipment advice. I live in Dubai and the suppliers here are not as up to date with technology as the are elsewhere, so no hayward or pentair equipment. What brands that are available locally, its always cheaper to buy from the states and ship to...

Hi all. I'm looking for some help on a pool design. i have an existing pergola that i want to incorporate into a new pool. Where the pergola juts outs, i'd thought about sinking this and making a bar of some sorts, but i'm not sure my design of pool is right. Let me know your thoughts. The area...

Thanks for the reply dmanb2b, the water looks clear and the only way to describe the return is when i put my hand over the return in the pool, it used to grab me, but after a few hours of running, its very weak. I haven't backwashed as i assumed it doesn't need it yet, its only been running for...

Hi Guys New to the forum. Just installed an intex above ground 16x9 ultra frame pool. Pool installation went well, however i wasn't happy with the crappy filter/pump so I bought an 0.5 hp Saci winner pump and a AstralPool Cantabric filter, here's where the problem lies, i connected the pump...
