I just got the pool open today and found the thermometer and the water temp is 52. The water sure looks pretty though.

Did you sneak into my backyard? LOLOLOLOL I feel your pain. I have huge white oaks, hickory and various other trees.

We have an automatic pool cover also. We just bought the house last year and the manual says you can use it in the winter provided the cover rests on the water and not above the water. However we didn't know the age of the cover and the prior owners husband purchased a winter cover and water...

I have a big plastic tub and I put the cleaner in it and in the shed when not in use. I have an automatic cover so I only use the cleaner once a week.

Great, thanks for the info! I appreciate it.

So do you guys not even use the vial that comes with the an OTO test? I have two different OTO tests (in addition to my TF Kit). I noticed if I use the HTH brand I can easily read the colors unless they are in between. Then I have another where you have to add chlorine neutralizer and that I...

Any reason why the labor is as much as the cover?

The table is a nice addition!

That's not too bad. Hopefully it's not too difficult to install. I should be able to get through this summer but I am sure it won't last through next year.

That's great! Thanks Do you kind if I ask about how much it costs for a cover? We just moved in last year. Pool came with the house!

I have a Pool Saver automatic cover and the cover right now is a Coverstar. I am probably going to need to replace it next year. I am also interested in good companies to go with for a replacement cover. Anyone have recommendations?

I had to chuckle when I read your post. The same thing happened to us last year except the pool light would mysteriously turn on and stay on for days at a time. We finally found the light switch in the sunroom. Everyone kept flipping the switch trying to turn the ceiling fan on! Our light...

Hello, I discovered a leak today when running the pool sweep. I have narrowed it down to coming out of the shaft and into the bracket. I can see water puddling inside the bracket and I dried it all off with a towel and put my finger on the underside of the shaft where it goes through the bracket...

I always disconnect mine and remove the Legend from the pool when not it in use. I leave the quick connect attachment in the return only. When you back wash, isn't the water flowing into the filter backwards? I would think the water is coming from the returns then. The only other thing I can...

1. When the cleaner pump is off, is there still supposed to be water running through the line? I think this is a yes. 2. Are the swivel joints supposed to leak? I think I have 3 swivels, and all 3 leak if you pull the hose out of the water. I am pretty sure they shouldn't leak. I have only...
