    How do I keep my private pool "private"?

    Well, i guess I was not too clear about Mom's visits. She's 81, and needs company, (she lives alone) as well as the pool exercises to strengthen her legs. She comes around 5 when i get off work, and leaves when DH gets home around 6 or 7. She and DH say hello, and Mom is then on her way...

    How do I keep my private pool "private"?

    How do I keep my private pool "private"?

    Need some advice. I have a co-worker who is REALLY pushy, rude, and accustomed to getting her own way at all costs. She keeps inviting herself to come over and use my pool. I let her come over once, while we were out of town, on the condition that she NOT bring guests, and that she add some...

    Heat Pump Size

    I went with heat siphon 3.25 analog. I LOVE IT! Hubby says it was easy to install, and it is certainly "dummy proof" if I can adjust it and understand what I am doing. The people at poolheatpumps.com took all the guess work out of the decision, and did NOT try to sell me the most expensive...

    Above ground automatic pool cleaners

    I was thinking about posting the same question. I have the aquabug too....her name is "Bugsy". I like her fine, but often get into the pool with her and "steer" her where she needs to go. It takes alot of time, but i usually just leave her on while i run to the store, and then finish up the...

    What's your current pool temp?

    gonefishn: i think so! it's been unseasonably cold here. intended to get heat pump hooked up today, but 2 veterinary emergencies took precedence. dog has enteritis, cat has torn anterior cruciate ligament. after 2 trips to vet, and resulting "mommy" duties....heat pump will have to wait...
