First up thank you so much to @ajw22 to tagging @RDspaguy. And to @RDspaguy, the replies here are fantastic, nice format using the inline replies, and a good mix of clear background/experience and being blunt with candor for fun read (the 'are you kidding' for Amazon was priceless). I...

I've been a TFP member for about a decade now when my family first dived in literally that long ago. We are now looking into a Hot Tub which I was happy to see there are plenty of forum posts. With the events that have happened in the last year plus, I have some questions to ensure the...

Thanks for the replies. I've been in contact with Margaret at Marina Pools and they have competitive prices. I'm actually leaning towards the S200 or Active 20 (same thing) mainly because the basket difference and the second brush. The bluetooth on the Active 30 (S300) is also really tempting...

Thanks to this forum and all of the great replies from the community I've found a ton of info on robotic pool cleaners here. I'm down to either the Dolphin Saturn/S100 or Dolphin Discovery/S200. A couple of posts indicated for a vinyl liner to save some $ with the Saturn/S100. Is this mainly a...

Thank you all for the replies. I am starting to think that the 99% doing it wrong but getting away with it is correct since I've asked this question numerous times in different forums over the years and keep getting no 100% agreement. Thanks again. What I amp contemplating if I need to...

Does using a wire nut to splice grounds in a pvc jbox with a run of the mill single pole switch an acceptable exception to the no splice code for pool light ground connections in 680.23(F)(2)(b)? See image below for an example of what I am describing where the top image shows doing so with...

Thanks for the reply (I was surprised I had no one reply with any insight). This was my first time I closed the pool myself so I wanted to make sure I was doing everything right and not spending hours running in circles. Overall I think because I made sure I had everything ready ahead of time...

My pool is about to be closed for its third time. The first couple of years I had the pool store do it as once was free. I am doing this myself this year. I’ve read pool school on how to close a pool. I’ve watched my pool store close my pool (apparently not close enough hence this thread)...

When there is a storm or when the winds pick up, they don't play nice with my IG solar cover. My blue/green nylon straps have been just about torn in half or they detach from their clipping mechanism. There are also a number of places where the cover is just ripped with a small section attached...

And what is involved with doing a pressure check? I have one return and four jets (2 deep, 2 on steps) The flex PVC is connected to rigid PVC at the pool equipment. Is this going to be a matter of someone (pool company or else) disconnecting something?

My IG pool was put in last year, but now I am putting in a patio. While I knew generally where my tiger flex pvc pool lines were, I made the mistake of going too far and I snagged one when doing the patio excavation today (and of course it was the last scoop before I was done with excavation)...
