Thanks everyone. I was already leaning toward the Edge, but this confirmed it. I liked the RJ because of the display, but the Edge seems the better option.

After years of using bleach (and getting small bleach marks on my clothes) Ive decided to go the SWG route. With the current promo at Discount Salt, Im trying to decide between the Edge 40 and RJ-45. Pool is a AG 24' round, so around 13,500gal. My pump is a 2.0HP 2-speed Waterway that I...

In the Chicago area both American Sale and The Great Escape have a 4-gallon pack of 12% bleach for around $13. I have found this to be cheapest and easiest route to go.

Pictures Pt. 2 Heres the new liner in and filling up. Also got the preformed cove and liner pad for the bottom. Hopefully I can get a decent amount of time out of it before it needs to be replaced. Now I wait until it fills up and look forward to the giant water bill.

Hi all, got a question on replacing an above ground liner. I need to replace the 15yr old liner in my AG pool, Where my pool sits in the yard is in a low spot (it was the only area to fit the pool due to utilities). Normally the yard is dry, except for the spring when the middle is wet due...

Thanks for the welcome! Should I SLAM before messing with the CYA? We've had a lot of rain here in Chicago over the last month, so im guessing thats why its low. Its been around 40~50 in the past.

Hi All. Been a pool owner for a while and a lurker here for a few years. Finally broke down and bought a TF-100 kit and the nifty speedstir. Ran through all the tests and got the following. FC: 7 CC: 2 TA: 100 CYA: 20 PH: 7.8 Using 8.25% bleach for chlorine. So a couple of questions. How...
