    After two years, I finally have to ADD CYA

    Brand does not matter. Do not place in skimmer basket. Place the sock in front of one of your return jets. Greg

    Re: Vinyl Liner Advice..... We just put in a vinyl liner pool last spring and picked out a medium blue and love it. Thought possibly this would help the longevity with fading from the sun becuase we know our chemicals are in check thanks to TFP! I think its 21mm thick and will last with good...

    Manual Operation of SWG

    No wear on the Cell if the water is too cold to make Chlorine? In other words, no problem running the water through the SWG in winter? Doing so will not effect the life of the cell? Just add liquid chlorine as needed?
