    pool cleaner equivalency chart

    My question is about buying a new robot. When I was last shopping, someone had a very handy chart which showed which models were actually the same inside with different branding/sticker on the outside. Here's the sunplay version of what I am referring to...

    Is there a tftestkits "TF-100 Salt" refill option?

    Wow thank you everyone- super useful as always! I went with TF-100 plus individual bottles for the salt reagents for a total of $82. Add $9 for shipping so instead picked up the pH meter for $18 to convert the order to free shipping, making the pH meter effectively $9.

    Is there a tftestkits "TF-100 Salt" refill option?

    Yes, I can do that, but the "individual reagents" section is super expensive compared to the "kits". i.e. the salt "reagent kit" costs $36 for the two reagents, graduated cylinder and case, or $18 per bottle. By way of comparison, the TF-100 refill kit contains 12 reagent bottles for $56, or...

    Is there a tftestkits "TF-100 Salt" refill option?

    pool resurfacing - simple question (I hope)

    I had pool contractor #3 come today for a visit. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. We discussed many things, but the pre-emptive "full chip out" he didn't advise. After looking at the pool, he instead recommended the following: 1. drain the pool 2. leave it empty for a *week* to achieve maximum...

    general swcg question

    I blocked the serial number because I do my best not to give unique identifiers on the internet. I did not steal the pump lol. The first picture does show the old (fixed speed) pump I had before it quit. That picture clearly shows the intermatic timers which is why I used that one for the first...

    ichlor 30 replacement cell

    Hi everyone. I am doing a multi part project to improve my pool, and I got a quote from a prospective contractor who wants to use the iChlor 30 (from Pentair) to convert my pool to salt water generation (SWCG/SWG). I am trying to think ahead, so I searched online today to find out how much the...

    general swcg question

    I am getting all the valves replaced also, so the PVC from the ground's surface and above will all be new. But here is what I currently have anyway: Just for clarity, my pump *is* variable speed, but the automation compatibility seems to be limited to receiving (not giving) instructions...

    general swcg question

    Here is what the setup looks like. The left, lower timer is the power source for the pump (through the conduit out the bottom of the intermatic box, to the ground (gray), extending to the pump. I don't actually know where the conduit from the 2nd intermatic timer goes/what it powers.
