    Newbie - Robot Question!

    I have the Dolphin and love it. I haven't had to use a vacuum in years. That said you still want to brush daily as it also helps to mix your chemicals properly.

    Help with roof solar setup

    My caution would be putting water elements on your roof and for that matter penetrating your roof is not the best solution. The damage a failure could cause could be catastrophic for your house. Personally O would get a heat pump.

    Solar cover for 16 x 60 pool options

    A cover is a must if you are using a heater otherwise you are just throwing your money away. Solar blankets do more to hold in heat gains than they do to gain heat. I would get 2 blankets and 2 reels. I don't think you need to tie them together just let them both lay on the water next to each other.

    My pump up and died

    I'm looking for a replacement pump and thinking about the one below. I have 13000 gallons and a heat pump as considerations. Does this seem like the best route? Pentair SuperFlo VS Variable Speed Pool Pump, 342001

    Can a pump cause heater problems?

    I have a pump that I just realized is on deaths door, but that really isn't my question. I have a Pentair Ultratemp Heat Pump that is giving me a Suction Side error message. I thought it was the temp sensor so I replaced it but the problem remained. I then thought maybe it was the control board...

    Best Places to Buy Liquid Chlorine

    I've noticed most brands of bleach here have dropped from 8.25% to 6% this year. Kroger still has 8.25% in their store brand, and it was on sale here for $2.69 a gallon this morning.

    Need a heater

    I have a bonus that I want to spend and a heater would be nice. I am in coastal Georgia about an hour from Florida. Our swim season goes end April to October typically. A hurricane can mess that up and cool the water for a week. I'd like to increase the season by 3 months in the most cost...

    I don't have a clue , something has to be better

    I have had a polaris 280 for about 3 years, and frankly I hate it. It gets stuck on the deep end stairs. It tangles itself on it's own cord. It needs replacement parts all the time; nickle and dime torture. What is my best option? Money doesn't matter, or at least it isn't the biggest concern...
