a chilling 52 this morning :shock:

Well I got a screaming deal this season on a very lightly used Harmony through a friend who couldn't return it. Was pondering converting my pool to salt with my crazy work hours and this pushed me over the edge. If it works well hopefully it'll buy me a few years to upgrade to a multi-speed pump...

Yeah they do, and you have a lot more options in a standard outdoor driver. Unfortunately the due to the WAF(wife acceptance factor) I'm stuck with rock speakers at one end of the pool. :rant:

360 degree speakers are quite inefficient if you don't need sound spread in all directions. I have a pair of RCF monitor 5s mounted under the eaves driven by Sherbourn 2/150, though I plan to add some rock speakers on the far end and near the rear deck when I re-landscape next fall. I actually...

Re: Liability: What are some basic steps for pool owners to I am not a lawyer but when asked our attorney strongly suggested that we lock both entrances to the pool rather than use a "no trespassing" sign. Apparently a trespasser can claim that they did not "see" a "no trespass" sign but the...

Doubt the deep end could get much clearer, if my iphone had a better lens on it I think I could tell what type screws are holding the drain cover in. :mrgreen: Can't wait to get my tanks filled and finish cleaning the bottom.

Well I would use a pocket wizard to set an interval and trigger the camera and lights every "X" seconds. Or if the environment was particularly harsh I would use a gopro with it's built in Intervalometer. With your equipment list it looks like with your XSi the easiest option is a remote with...

The pumps have mounting ears such that they can be mounted to the pad. This keeps them from moving and damaging the wiring or the plumbing.

Re: Do you have ideas for making a sturdy net (leaf & skimme Hey ROCK, I asked (after seeing the made in America sticker on my net) the company that makes the net I got also sells replacement nets, vclips, and leading edges for all their line of professional nets. So should one" wear" part give...

Re: Have you built a pool pole out of sliding 10' pipes? .. When I was working on cars professionally I didn't buy my tools at sears or home depot b/c nearly everything they sold wasn't up to my standards. I take the same approach with every tool I buy today. I looked at the "tools" available...

Yeah, I get it, more chlorine needed. . . I'm pretty good with the Chlorine and PH as I had to keep those in check many years ago when I was a lifeguard for a summer job. The rest of the tests I'm still learning a lot about. The BBB method seems pretty good to me so far and fits my budget for...

Re: Have you built a pool pole out of sliding 10' pipes? .. ^this http://amzn.com/B005MAHAV0 If you need stouter than that try a professional painter's roller extension pole. Both will be cheaper than building one from scratch. :goodjob:

Tonight's test results 24 hours after yesterday's preliminary readings and initial dosing. FC -1 ppm pH - 7.6 TA-110 CH - 140 CYA - 25 Temp -58 degrees :shock: Moving the right direction! :whoot:

Re: Big Insurance increase because of our pool with diving b Wow, I can't imagine my pool without the diving board, but then again I frequently jump off 50+ foot rock formations into water for fun. People occasionally push too hard or make bad decisions and get hurt, it's part of the nature...

Re: Do you have ideas for making a sturdy net (leaf & skimme It is a metal hoop, with heavier netting that is stitched better and has a tough plastic scraper/abrasion protector around the metal hoop. It's kinda like the nets with the white netting in the pic below on steroids. And at $22 it's...

Re: Do you have ideas for making a sturdy net (leaf & skimme I bought one that was well reviewed off amazon, Time will tell but it is much sturdier then the assorted rubbish my local pool store had for the same and sometimes higher prices. http://amzn.com/B004VLB7E2 Has held up well so far...

So last fall I bought a house in rough shape that came with an older in ground pool in the backyard. During my research to relearn what I was originally taught about pool care when I was a lifeguard back in High School/College I stumbled upon this place and found it monumentally helpful. Wanted...
