Good point! Thanks @Newdude, will go with the older pattern in the thicker material.

Any experience with "close-out" liners for inground pools? At ~ 1/2 to 2/3 the price of a newer pattern is it just cosmetics or treated the same would they likely last the same? (I read in a thread that GLI say ~5years is ok to store them, but not sure how that translates into longevity in the pool)

Thanks, I'll brave the local pool store!

A large x shaped tear (~1ft long for each of the two tears) in our ~25k gallon in ground PVC liner appeared today, I've covered it with pvc sheet but the liner is fading and mottled and I expect it is getting brittle and needs to be replaced. Last time was prior to the previous home owner so ~8...

When I'm not brewing beer with it, I have used my iSpindel hydrometer/thermometer to monitor pool temp.. I put it in the skimmer to keep it out of the sun. It amuses guests when they see that my pool is at both a nice temperature and also apparently ~6% ABV

Thanks @ajw22, it was the control unit, Circupool support sorted it out for me with a replacement one under warranty.

Any word on a possible release date for the Maytronics/Dolphin iO robot cleaner with lidar, I've not seen any mention since 2020, after it was announced in 2018. (Did it break the third law of robotics and disintegrate itself?)

The filter pressure was ~15 psi so I cleaned the cartridges and now it is ~10 psi. Still got the water flow led lit though. I've not contacted Circupool yet, will try that next. Thanks.

The Water Flow LED on my Edge-40 comes on about 10 seconds after switching on the SWG. I've tested the flow switch with a multimeter and it is working fine (~zero ohms between the two pins when the pump is on, open circuit when pump is off). It has been working fine for a about a year and a...

Thanks for the feedback chiefwej and markayash, I'll try with a separate timer for the SWG. (I am probably getting carried away with too much automation anyway). I'll set an appointment in google calendar to remind me when we switch daylight saving time to go and change the pool pump clock time...

Hi, this is my first post to the forum, looking for advice on ensuring a SWG turns on and off with the pump. I have a Pentair Intelliflo VSF pump and am planning to get a Circupool Edge 40 SWG (the IG pvc lined pool is ~20-25k gallons). I don't have any automation equipment attached to...

Just joined after researching SWGs. TFP is a great resource! ~20-25k gallon in ground pool with Pentair VSP and cartridge filter. Now trying to figure out if I can tell the VSP to switch on and of the SWG, given they are from different manufacturers and I don't have any automation equipment...
