    IntelliCenter and Dashpanel

    Last time I installed a major Intellicenter firmware update, intellicenter stopped working in all kinds of weird ways - so I downgraded back to 1.064 and have learned my lesson not to ever upgrade unless/until there is a very particular need to. Are there particular features/bug fixes you're...

    SwamCam Review | Pool Alarm - 3 Months In

    Ironically, this was actually the source of some irritation I had with their marketing. It strongly implies it only detects humans which I was excited about so that my dog wouldn't set it off - but she does VERY consistently. I don't know if it would catch your dog if it literally took off...

    Eliminate Duckbill? Or Non Stenner = Bad?

    Would I be crazy to just eliminate the duckbill altogether? From what I understand, this is to relieve the pressure off the hose so that it doesn't split, and if the rollers were to physically fall off, it would prevent the pool water from filling up the tank. My pump has 4 rollers and the tube...

    Eliminate Duckbill? Or Non Stenner = Bad?

    I'm using full strength muriatic acid and these duck bills are constantly going bad within months, creating flow restriction. I got them on Amazon last year (search B00HEAW2ZU), but I realized that all of these prime sellers, including the one I bought from, are 3rd party with only 100ish...

    The kitchen/bar was built using only 14ga welded steel with 12" spacing and hydrodefense cement board (fully waterproof rated rather than standard stuff). Then, instead of standard stucco, I used a stucco repair product that is loaded with polymer hardeners sort of like how modified thinsets are...

    Thank you! I was a little nervous about that, but the fire pit has been finished for almost 2 years now (two full winters of doing fires) and we've had no burning or staining of the screen or surrounding area. I think it's just too tall to be a problem (about 16ft at that point?). Depending on...
