I did get a reply this morning.

I have an M500 that died after 4 years unfortunately and repair is $600. I never really used any of the added features on it. An S200 looks to be more applicable to my needs at a more friendly price to replace every 4-5 years. I have tried to reach Marina Pool Spa by phone and I get a "Mailbox...

If you are going with OmniLogic (or any other automation option with phone/app control) I strongly agree with going VSP, but primarily for water feature control as opposed to trying to get any power saving on the filter run. It's really nice being able to fine tune our waterfall and other...

Re: pooldv pool thread Go google raclette cheese. Figure out how to make it work on that stove. Enjoy all winter. Thank me later. plat.

Fortunately the weather here in Houston is extending the season out just a tad.... Zombie 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice 1/2 ounce falernum 1 1/2 ounces gold Puerto Rican rum 1 1/2 ounces gold or dark Jamaican rum 1 ounce 151-proof Lemon Hart Demerara rum 1 teaspoon grenadine 6 drops Pernod dash...

Another vote for the 4-5-4 layout. I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 3". There's a "sweet spot" for both of us to hang out at. plat.

Re: pooldv pool thread You are getting close to internet meme status with the foot thing. plat.

We had 2 wall anchors put in left and right of the jet for this specific purpose (kneenboard, floaties, tupes, etc...). To be honest though, while on the kneeboard, I got a little nervous at the amount of stress I was exerting on them to hold on. Need to talk to the builder about that. A floatie...

I've had all of 3 chances to get in with our brand new RiverFlow jet and am digging it so far. It's dead quiet, throws out a HUGE amount of water and it doesn't use venturis so there is no extra foam or bubbles in the water stream. Communication with them took some effort as well for us some...

Been running 79/80* during the day. OmniLogic says it's 78* right now. It's definitely below our "hanging out" temp range. For active swimming it's a good temp, but it is just a little too "refreshing" when I jump in until I get acclimated. I did pull out a knee board and tried to get up on the...

Yes. My buddy sent me pics of this morning's take to help rub it in..... They're having a good time as usual. It's a 1000 acre ranch about 40 miles south of Uvalde. So I got in yesterday for 3 minutes to just test the jet out. I couldn't wait any longer. It's ridiculous on high. I have 0%...

Re: pooldv pool thread How many sq ft of panel and pool surface do you have? I know you said it's not enough in an earlier post, but that it does help recovery from cold fronts. We ran 3" supply and return lines for a solar upgrade in the future, but your heat pump deal is making me consider...

Classic! Some things are universal. plat. - - - Updated - - - Thanks! Regular Theraflu and Chinese Theraflu (Hot & Sour Soup) are on the menu right now. Hopefully by Monday I shake this thing totally. plat.

Re: New Pool Build in SW Austin, TX - We Have Gunite!! - New Pics! Well now I need to go check this out on our build. We're all Hayward with OmniLogic and I'm digging it so far. plat.

Well the swimjet is up and running, but I haven't been able to try it. My wife came home from a business trip last week and was/is sick. Turned out she's got a double pneumonia. I ended up getting her cold this week that got her sick in the first place and am out of commission as well. Had a...
