    I'm not sure that will be possible for them, but maybe.

    Chlorine puck feeder question

    The feeder was set on 5 by the way, I was going to start there but thought I'd ask here since I have no experience with feeders.

We've vacuumed all the silt out, shocked out all the ammonia, vacuumed more, slammed the pool continually and we are getting close to switching back to a puck feeder. they have a bucket of leslies 3" tabs and what appears to be a pentair model #320 feeder. The...

    Getting ready to buy a pool

    We just replaced our pool with a sharkline saltwater 8000. I like it compared to the one we had before and it has all stainless hardware. We've had an aquatroll for about 7 yrs. and I like it quite a bit, be prepared for it to stop working though. I believe we've been through at least 4 of them...

    Murphy came to swim at my place

    These guys used a truck to try and pull the big branch away from the pool too. When it was time to pull the tires spun.

    Murphy came to swim at my place

    Yes they have insurance, still waiting on that though. The pool is done for but the pump, filter and SWG are fine. It happened a little faster than slow motion.

    I listened to a Walmart employee - and now I am lost

    Aqua troll aqua cell 5

    New unit showed up yesterday but didn't even make it through the night. It has multiple problems, seems like the cell is bad, timer does not cut off the pump when it should, manual pump switch doesn't operate the pump at all. Had a feeling things would end up like this but I'm spoiled since I've...

    Need a recommendation DFW/East Texas area

    You could look around at rental companies and see if you can find a sod removing machine. It's about the size of a rototiller that has a blade that moves left and right, used to remove sod. It should be very easy to level out a area with one.

    Aqua troll aqua cell 5

    No idea how to bypass, but ours quit this week too. We got ours in 2008 as well. You can find the cells a little cheaper if you look around. I found a complete system for just over 400.00, so i'm just replacing the whole thing.
