    Beatbot AquaSense Cordless Pool Robot

    Whelp, I fell for the meme and ordered the pro. I have horrible impulse control and couldn't pass up the $400 early bird order discount . I'll let you guys know how it works as soon as it warms up enough in Michigan to use it 😬

    Help! Shocked last night & still no chlorine

    I don't know about a leak causing that much chlorine loss so quickly, sounds like you have something eating your chlorine big time. I had a similar issue and it ended up being gunk and algea in my 3 light niches and my pipes. Cleaned out the niches during shock levels with a (new) toilet bowl...

    Thank you! Yes pool math was a vital part of me getting everything in order 😃. CSI is part of my current obsession :). But apparently it's not displayed in the app? My intellichem seems to allow me to track

    Jumped in head first into the deep end with our first pool, thank God I found TFP! (Things I learned about SLAM and Pool Stores)

    Quick background: After purchasing a new home that came with a pool, I knew my knowledge was at a solid zero and that I'd need some major help. We turned to the company that the home's previous owners used to open/close the pool which informed us they no longer serviced our area. So I did some...

    Dr. Dryden's Activate versus other glass media- worth the cost??

    I don't know about Dryden's, but I got generic glass fill from the local pool store and I now see my water clear up faster after adding anything that causes temporary cloudiness (metal seq, orenda, etc..) compared to when I was on sand. I'm overly OCD though and I'm sure most people would be...
