Its actually a good unit. Kept my pool very clean last season. Unfortunatly the booster line was plumbed with flex line in the ground and it kept blowing holes at the connections underground. They replaced it with a robot. That said, the robot performs a much better job on actually...

Nod, I have the same setup you have other then I have a SWG cell in the mix. I will take a picture of my mine so you can see. Mind you, I would think twice about using the booster pump deal. I had a Mars HP (Booster pump) which the pool builder said would handle the tiger flex line...

Teppy... Love the patio furniture you have there... the lounger, side table and umbrella look great. How heavy is the umbrella setup? Do you leave it out there all the time? I was planning to get a setup like that, being a vinyl pool I am concerned with the stuff blowing into our pool.

See waterbear, even though some can't remember who gave the tip (My memory is terrible!!)... WE DO LISTEN!!!! Your help in the past and any in the future is appreciated.

Thanks Grace... She is really fast on it too believe it or not, gets galloping all over the pool!

I have the one on the right. We liked the grey stones/tiles which tie into our interlocking stone around the pool area. I don't understand one of the other posters problems with seeing dirt. I find the dirt jumps right out at you if there is any in the bottom. A couple pics below for you.

I use an old cafeteria tray with a glass measuring cup. I pour the acid into the cup when it is sitting on top of the tray. Any problems I could just push the tray and cup into the pool. Removes the chances of drips happening on the concrete decking also. Then just pour the cup of acid into...

I am from Ontario also, I am not sure if it is a provincial building code or city code, but our wood perimeter fence had to be under 1.85 meters in height and over 1.5 meters to pass inspection. I did one half of our wood fencing in 3 days with a carpenter friend. I paid him a few bucks...

Im trying a Aquabot Turbo at the moment. It does clean well when its not stuck on my main drains. I have tried everything to get it to not hang up there. Seems futile though. I am debating ordering the Polaris covers for the drains or the smart pool smart rings. If I were to actually have...

I got mine for 99 bucks plus tax at a Pioneer Pools. Im in Southern Ontario. Not sure if there is one near midland. They had a big sale a few weeks back. I bought some patio furniture at a different location of there's a month after the sale last year and they gave me the sale price even...

Re: My new Pool build Are you leaving that wood deck there? I would tear that sucker out and go with the same decking you are using around the pool and put some 6x6's or columns in and create a pergola to make a nice shade spot to sit under in that corner and look out into the pool area...

I'm all for supporting those that keep this site's bills paid, but, is that version made of gold? Look at the price on the one you linked to....240 bucks... WOW. I just paid 99 bucks recently at my local pool store.

I am currently trying out an aquabot turbo in my freeform shaped pool. I ran it for a hour last night and it did not fair well. Stuck on top of my dual main drains 4 times in an hour. Today I picked up a couple of these hayward clips (Part # SP1048AVH) that go onto the maindrain covers that...

Did you get the one with the remote control?

JJ Thanks so much for posting the great pics and the short movie! I will be picking one up next time I stop into the pool store. Still haven't made it there yet. Looks like it does a really nice job. Just wondering if they have put them on sale to possibly bring out a new model that is...
