Open the link below and see the same product with the same part number only one is made very strong long lived fiberglass reinforced wall and double the price and the other is very weak short lived polymer plastic only polypropylene wall and half the price. See this Amazon link. Amazon.com New...

Here are the pictures ajw22 asked for. The repaired area is encased in a steel cage stronger than it was new. JamesW point is that it can rupture elsewhere below the repair so that will require the whole tank be encased in those band clamps to make a complete safety cage. The reality is the...

All boilers by law must have automatic pressure relief valves and expansion tanks rated for 30 psi so water pressure and heated expansion doesn't cause explosion or damage and these boilers are made from cast iron or steel vessels. Here we have plastic polymer that is not with a dense core and...

This is a solution to the DE separation tank leak from cracks in the shell that TFP website users have reported in the past. This occurs near the top of the tank when the black ledger support internal ring splits and lets the DE filter bag be pushed down causing its top sealing ring to expand...

Thank you for the responses. Algae grows slowly below 60 degrees even with the intense bright winter sun. Problem with waiting for pool water to be below 60 degrees and doing early opening is the freezing of above ground plumbing, gas heater, filter, and pump from sharp drops in night...

My installer put in a Jandy high capacity SWG Aquapure PLC1400 nature2 fusion soft FSOFT1400 with R0452500 Trisensor combo chlorine and mineral generator integrated to an RS 8 solenoid remote control system. This never worked from day one brand new. All it does is give error codes even after it...

Costco in Suffolk County New York yesterday received hundreds of HTH 3 inch chlorine tablets that they are selling for $164.99 for a 37.5 pound bucket. That is $4.40 per pound. Amazon is selling the same thing for $237 which is $6 per pound. The Costco SKU number is 1625066. Costco will accept...

Fixing an automatic pool cover is easier than fixing your car. The main difference is the car industry helps you to fix your car yourself in contrast to the pool industry which keeps it all a trade secret and at the same time restricting the repair and parts manuals, as well as parts acquisition...

Correct Wildfan. You can get support to fix automatic covers yourself thru websites such as AutomaticPoolParts.com. Otherwise you will pay a fortune to have contractors fix it for you. I am a do it yourself person which is why I like this forum website so much. Consumers have a choice not to...

Go to Alibaba and you can get 1000 to 3000 pounds of 3 inch chlorine tablets for less than $1 per pound even after shipping costs. Sell the left over to some who cannot get chlorine tablets. China is making enough chlorine tablets to supply the entire world with no shortages and no price...

I have a cover-pools T3 20X40 rectangular gunite pool with 6 inches of top glass tile in New York. We have bad winters. In my experience it is not advisable to use an automatic cover as a winter cover. If you see over 4 inches of ice formation take a close look and you will see the vinyl pushing...

I had my Kool deck done in 2013 and it looks today brand new as it was then with no maintenance. The secret to Kool deck longevity is to apply it when the under base 4-6 inches of concrete is still wet so fusion of the concrete occurs. It needs to dry as one piece with the substrate. If you add...

I had pavers in my old vinyl pool 1996-2013. It was a big problem with settling and grew mold and weeds in the cracks but pavers looked very pretty with an Italian palatial mosaic design. Pool and deck both demolished in 2013 during hurricaine sandy and the entire build was then changed to...

So the vendor of Aquabot stated the anyone buying a pool robot has to either change the main drain cover to one with a feathered edge that the robot can climb over or buy an overlay feathered edge cover that is not screwed on to get the robot to climb it. Additionally some robots derail their...

Aquabot pool robot stuck in place by the main drain cover caused a pin hole in the vinyl liner 6 inches from main drain. The stuck pool cleaner then sucked out the sand under the liner thru that pin hole leaving a large round 3-inch-deep by 10-inch round cavity depression in the pool sand floor...

I found orbit yard enforcer which is a water jet sprinkler with a motion detector and a sweeping fan jet blast action is very effective. These sprinklers have to be drained before every night otherwise they will be a $60 loss each, once the plumbing freezes and cracks the plastic. Geese hate...

Thank you all for your feedback's. It seems safety covers with 3X3 grids are hard to find, custom made, and not standard build. Will follow your advise on use of the standard mesh 5X5 safety cover. Since some of you are in my area, maybe you can tell me if mobs of Canadian non migratory geese...

I live in the Northeast and we have had major snow and ice loading during the winter at times causing home and store roof cave ins to occur. I started with a cover pools auto cover with below deck rigid rails and water levels at mid skimmer level. Heavy snow melting and refreezing into ice was a...

The new replacement sensor Zodiac Jandy R0452500 CG Cell Port Sensor with the module containing the A B switch solves error codes generated by the older style tri-sensor started on the market in October 2014. My unit was late 2013 and generated the notorious error codes 172 low flow, no flow...

I used the Liberty Outdoor ANCFR16-ORG-A Folding Ring Spiral Ground Anchor, Orange, 16-Inch to anchor into the soil beyond the deck and ratcheting tie straps to attach to the folding ring for a spring loaded rectangular full mesh 17X32 cover in an above ground pool 15X30 with curved corner...

The bracket system for IMD Sales pool light is a nichless type. They have an retrofit adaptor plate that must be custom drilled and fitted to bolt onto a standard large or small pool light niche. Then you put the nicheless vertical adaptor on the drilled round adaptor bracket and then the RGB...

The Jandy CPU chip supplied at the time of construction was version T 1.0. The difference is Jandy CPU chip T 1.2 is compatible with Hayward and Pentair lights and using the Aqualink system it brings up the menu of colors and light show programs to control them and the T.0 chip does not. The 4...

Does anyone have any experience with LED pool light systems from IMD Sales, an Australian company that has the most sophisticated pool light systems I have seen yet (they have youtube product videos). I have had problems with my Jandy color led lights CPHVLEDS and Pentair Intellibrite 5G color...

There seems to be a Canadian geese plague in some parts of this country that has reaped havoc onto homes and business. I live near water and these animals come on the grass and eat it with the grass roots and replace it with tons of bird poop which is very unsanitary. There is so much of it at...
