    Advice for a new set up?

    That's after we had it cleaned, but the gunk came back the next day and that's when we found out the filter is broken. Its a swamp now. LOL. I don't have a current pic, but I added that pic to see the size.

    Advice for a new set up?

    Thanks for the reply. Any idea how much that would cost? I just wanted to save money on electricity. If there's not much of a difference between a Intelliflo VS and a 2 speed, I'm open for it. And as for the sand filter, I thought it wasn't a good option. Besides, I think my alley on the side of...

    Advice for a new set up?

    Thanks for the welcome, I'm at the border of Ontario/Chino at Vineyard. Our equipment is probably from the early 90's also, so I'm guessing it may be at end of life soon. Heater works, but is pretty rusty; and I want to upgrade the pump only to save money. My friend is renting a house with...

    D'oh! I just bought a bunch of shock and tablets at Costco. LOL. So how do you chlorinate your pool? I just called a pool guy, he's coming out tomorrow, but in the mean time he said for me to go to Home Depot, get a 4 gallons of liquid and dump it in, so he can check it when he comes.

    Hello, we just moved into a home in Ontario, CA and its burdened with a pool and spa. Well I'm trying to turn this great burden into a great plus! I'm new to this forum and so far I've learned so much already. Just called a guy to come out in a few days to give me a run down on how to work it...
