we have a concrete slide that has lost it's gloss or slipperyness (is that a word) how do we get it's slickness back?

Is anyone familiar with a simple salt sensor I could use with my home automation system? I'm looking for a sensor I could attach to a ESP8266 or similar microprocessor that could report back salt levels to my home automation system. I'd love to get reports when levels cross x or y. About a...

BUMP!

No.

My polaris all of a sudden stopped working. On initial exam I noticed one of the wheels was not straight. The bearings seemed to be lose so I replaced both sets on that wheel. I thought that would do the trick, but the sucker won't move. It also lists to one side and doesn't seem to want to...

Re: Help - Pump won't prime on Pool Side - SOLVED Well what do you know...... It looks like the o-rings on my Jandy 3 way valves were failing.....so after replacing 6 .89 o-rings I have a pump that primes and actually sounds better running that it ever has. Go Figure! I hate the fact that I...

it seems to fill up the pipes a bit then fills up the skimmer basket....but drains very quickly....does that make sense?

Hello Fellow Poolers.... My main filter pump, a Hayward Super II will not prime. I have checked all of the usual issues....water level, clogged strainers, etc. and still can't get the pump to pull water. My Jandy control system has automated valves that when put into SPA MODE the pump pulls...

I am talking about a BBQ island...not an indoor kitchen. :-D Your numbers sound much better than what I was quoted. I was getting quoted about 550.00 a linear foot which I think is extreme.

BUMP ! Nothing???

For some reason the forum software will not maintain session state with IE9. After I log in I lose my state of being "logged in" when I move from page to page. This gets extremely frustrating trying to look at pages with images as they will not display to a user who is not logged in. Can you...
