    Intelliph without Intellichlor

    Yes. I researched this with my easytouch. The only catch with intelliph is that there is no ph probe, meaning the ph is managed by a time/percent equation. I felt this was too risky to dial it in. I personally went with the solaxx ph tek which has a probe and I love it. It measures ph exactly...

    Travertine in cold climates....again

    I did hear of this method before before I moved to Florida from Massachusetts. I was going to do a small patio and the contractor I talked to explained a process where sand is not used to avoid heaving. He said no matter what travertine is going to break over time because of the pores getting...

    Ants living under pool deck, pushing dirt in and generally being mischevious

    What you want is something with fipronil. It doesn't move much with water run off and kills the whole colony. I use it sparingly near where I see ants making dirt mounts and in a few days they are 100% gone. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    pre-filter or cartridge cover for dog hair

    My black lab has pretty course hair so some of it sinks quick. I'm likely too buzzed or lazy to address it in the moment.... :)

    I don't have a vac except the manual one. It does have a skim plate so I can vac to a hair net. In which case the manual time vacuuming probably won't save me time compared to extra filter cleaning time. I'll still try this next time the dog goes in to see how much hair falls or is caught by my...

    pre-filter or cartridge cover for dog hair

    OK great. Glad to hear someone else is manipulating the pump basket as I was worried that would be an issue. I have a pentair pump with a basket like this: I need to figure a way to put the hair net or pantyhose inside the basket and under that hole in the side of the basket. Otherwise it will...

    pre-filter or cartridge cover for dog hair

    Yes I have the hair nets but too much hair is sinking to the main drain. My question is about what are people doing about hair that makes it to the pump and filter.

    pre-filter or cartridge cover for dog hair

    Hey All, First. Thanks! I have been researching and learning from the forum for the last couple months (sorry for not saying hi earlier) and I have really learned a ton about managing my pool. For example, I bought the Solaxx PH Tek based on feedback here to help keep the PH in check because...
