this actually works surprisingly well. would recommend. though i was definitely originally leaning toward some type of power shear as posted above. i really like the manual edger. one less battery powered thing to worry about charging or the battery needing replaced in the future.

no, not really. one on the old outdoor condenser that was who knows how old since moving in. i have just been stranded on a holiday weekend in the past at an old house not being able to get my hands on a replacement capacitor. ever since i stock my own replacements for important equipment...

Good day all- I moved into this house less than three years ago and I just changed out a capacitor on the pump motor for at least the third time, maybe the fourth. Luckily, I am a little bit excessive and stock extra capacitors for pool pump and hvac system and reorder as soon as I replace...

I ordered this as a low-cost option to try. Amazon.com I will report back.

thanks for the replies so far. we have a smallish yard and want some real grass for the dogs, so turf or rocks are a no-go unfortunately. i would definitely prefer real grass not be so close to the waters edge but it kind of is what it is. searching for a clever solution to maintain what i...

Good day all. Does anyone have any clever solutions for trimming grass edge as pictured? I always just use a string trimmer and it's a nightmare skimming the pool to get the grass out after trimming. Thinking some type of shield? Or treating the edge with plant growth regulator to slow down...

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the explanation.

Why is this important? It is probably about 90-100 considering it was originally at 70ish ta and then after drain and fill, I was back to 90 and have since dropped it to 60.

Good day all- Recently installed a SWG and was just reading the fllwng article: Water Balance for SWGs I don't quite understand this section from it: qte Second adjust CYA to between 70 and 80. The biggest mistake that many SWG owners make is NOT having enough CYA in the water! This can...

Good day all- Recently installed a circupool edge 25, and I have a few questions due to seeing some conflicting info on the forum.... Question 1: What determines the life of a SWG cell? Is it gross hours run (regardless of percentage) or do the plates just have a total lifetime chlorine...

Good day all, in the process of closing on a new house that has a pool and I have been putting myself through pool school here in preparation to hit the ground running with this. Quick background, I have never owned a pool, nor come from a family that has ever owned a pool so it's all new to...
