    Unicell Markings?

    Thank You James. Any other information on this company? Decent Product or sub par Ripp Off Artists? I searched and all I got was more ads for their products, with no reviews-positive or negative.

    Unicell Markings?

    Had a hunch the might have been phonies, but at $25 a piece, I just had to give it a shot. Guess I`ll just have to keep a bit of a sharper eye on them for deterioration and performance. Thanks for the reply. BTW: I like your filter system and be watching for any updates on how it`s working out...

    Unicell Markings?

    Are Unicell cartridges have any markings on them. My Hayward cartridge has Hayward and the filter number embossed on each end. I just got a pair of cartridges that are supposed be Unicell, so I am curious.

    Leaf Net Cover??

    :pWoooHoooo....It works. The hooks will be fine, but not the ones I bought. They were the "Command" hooks that won`t damage the surface when removed. They also will not stick to the surface I wanted them to.:( Out of the 12, 2 popped off before I got all the way around the pool. I can still use...

    well here we go.....

    I feel for you. The really good news is how much better things will be when the SLAM is over. Think how much worse things would have been making a bizillion trips to the pool store and dumping buckets of bucks on the counter as they guide you towards endless magic potions that their testing says...

    Refilling 26' Above Ground

    You know, it`s really funny how easy it is to make your whole pool chemistry go haywire. Even Wal Mart has a whole aisle devoted to stuff that tell you how great it is and how it will make your pool sparkle. The local pool store is even worse and considerably more expensive. If it were not for...

    Refilling 26' Above Ground

    I understand your reluctance to toss, seemingly perfectly good stuff. I`m so cheap I haven`t thrown any bath soap away for-well, ever. I wet-weld the sliver to the bar. Anyway, I gotta say forget the few dollars you have invested in the shock and get a pail of Cyanuric acid. It`s not that...

    Leaf Net Cover??

    Thanks Been and Leebo for your experience. Really liked the pics Been. Got the net the other day and will be giving it a go soon. I`ve been playing with the idea of hooks. There are 12 uprights around the pool and was thinking of a hook on each. Thinking I could toss the net in and hook-n-pull...

    Pleats and Square Feet

    Thankfully none, for both reply and not having any issues---yet. Just in cruising around the great electronic highway, I kept getting told. Dude, you got way too much pump for a pool your size. People with double my gallonage(that a word?)were saying their pumps are less than 1hp and move less...

    Pleats and Square Feet

    Ok, so I`m another one who ended up with more pump than is good for me in a TOTAL AGP package. After a brief period of denial, shifting to a frantic search for somebody(anybody)to counter all the evidence that shoving 60gpm thru a 50gpm filter is bad. And looking at assorted filters and pumps...

    Pool in the garage?

    So, even if you rigged a kick butt solar heater. Big enough to keep your water toasty-comfy. I`m guessing it wouldn`t be long before you had a nice green algae film on all kinds of stuff in the garage that get`s even a little bit of sunlight. Then there would be mold issues on anything it could...

    Filter cartridge discontinued

    Just to be sure, you did Google your filter number, right? I did and right off the bat came up with a number of sites offering filters. I`m not going to offer the links, since I`m not endorsing any of the sites, one way or the other. I will link the search results...

    Leaf Net Cover??

    It was a net(PUN) search find. http://www.vminnovations.com/Browse_587/Pool-Covers.html Seemed to have good reviews, so I ordered from them.

    Leaf Net Cover??

    Thanks "smforte", not the answer I was hoping for though. Guess I was looking for, Greatest thing I ever got, Never would have thought it could work so well. Between the pine needles, hunks of Spanish moss, and leaves from every tree in 2 square miles making our pool ground zero I seem to spend...

    Big problem with my sand filter

    WOW.....What an adventure. More twists and turns than a Clive Cussler novel. Sounds like you`ve "Dirked" your way to victory. Just a couple of suggestions if you ever travel down this bumpy road again. When I re-plumbed my old in ground, due to a split filter housing, I followed the sage advice...

    Too Much Pump??

    I have a question on my pump-filter combination. Seems my pump is rated at 60gpm., but my filter clearly states 40gpm. So far it hasn`t overpowered the seals in the cartridge filter housing. It hasn`t split the housing open. This came as a package from the dealer, so I never paid any attention...

    I drained my INTEX 15"x 48" pool my mistake

    Can`t help you about the salt levels, but I can solve your-OPPS-I forgot I was draining the pool issue. I took some 1in. PVC pipe and 2 90% elbows, along with a 1in. PVC to garden hose adapter and fashioned a "get the siphon going and forget it" system. I make a "U" with the pipe so it fits the...
