    Is it CREEPY to have a security camera pointed at the pool area?

    Does anyone have a way of turning their motion alerts on via keypad or something similar in the pool? Ideally I'd like to get alerts whenever the camera is "armed" for motion, and have it off when authorized guests are over? Running hikvision turrets and dedicated server software. Good thread!

    CYA issue

    Starting to look like true trouble free pool. Slamming right now to get rid of the algae that was starting to grow on the bottom (weird to watch it grow over the course of the morning). Vacuumed and brushed it all off after raising the FC level. Now checking it every hour or two to keep that up.

    Solar Blanket: Which one works best.

    Is there a consensus on which cover will be the most durable and hold in a decent amount of heat? Using a 8mm dark blue cover that is already losing bubbles after 1.5 years (only used for 6-8 months).

    Beginner getting it balanced

    Hi Everyone,This is my second year with the pool up and running and this year I'm getting serious about getting everything balanced very well. Last year everything was clear and using test strips (ugg) everything seemed to be pretty good with great clarity and no problems. We had very high...

    Small leaks and hose recommendations

    Hi all my pool experts. I've enjoyed lurking and reading up on all the matters as last year and this year purchased our used 18' 52" resin AGP, cleared up the backyard, built the pool, installed gas and electric, setup the heater, balanced the chemicals, and just recently finished attaching and...

    Hotspot Pool Heater FPH - looking for review

    Interested in this idea even if it will only work when the AC is active (not at beginning and end of the season). Was also thinking of ways to run this in conjunction with a gas heater.
