A friend is having his pool redone. He said the company that will be doing the work told him the pipe under the concrete around the pool will have to be pressurized when they pour the new slabs around the pool (Flat work) so they don't collapse, for an extra $700. Being a retired plumber/pipe...

The calcium when I tested my pool last week it was at 225 I added 5lbs of calcium + - . This week I’m at 175 tested it twice. Wondering why it would go down that much after adding 5 pounds ? What I’m using for CH is “Snow Joe AZ-50-CCP Melt-2-Go 94% Pure Calcium Chloride” I’ve been using it for...

I’ve had the Active 30i with Wi Fi little over a month now. Pretty impressed with the performance. After running it about 4 times for 2 hour run times the dirt that came out of the filters was pretty impressive. The pool is looking good does look cleaner. The bot climbs the walls travels usually...

I did a 3-day Demo on a bot the second day the circuit blew 15amp turned out the lug on the breaker was loose I had another 15amp breaker installed that. So now I have a 20amp breaker and a 20amp GFI on the way. I’m thinking a 20amp GFI would be better than a 15. Most house always run 20amp...
