Thank you bot So, I need to buy a "Cell" plus, #? bags of salt....anything else? Cell would last about 2 years? Any estimates on installation costs? If the water wasn't so hot from June through September we would swim more. We are just wasting money if no one is swimming. EDIT: I saw one SWG...

With the high prices of liquid chlorine, it is either time for me to switch to a SWG pool or leave the pool closed and covered. For the last couple of years, we have used the pool only 9 or 10 times. By the time the pool gets warm enough to swim in, within 2 or 3 weeks the pool is too hot to...

Any new chlorine prices? I usually have my pool open by now, but it has been a cooler Spring in Oklahoma. Bleach: Dollar General has 121 FL oz (3.78 Qt) of True Living bleach for $6.25. Does anyone know what the percentage is? Family Dollar has 121 FL Oz (3.78 Qt) of Homeline bleach 7.5%. for...

Hi, It is time to replace the grips and cam locks for two pool poles. I ordered the parts on Amazon, but they did not fit. The grips said 1-1/8" which should have fit that end, but I could not get the grips off. I could not remove the cam locks either. The brush ends of the poles have an...

I need to replace the grips and cam lcks on 2 pool poles.

I am not sure how old the M500 is, but it is no longer under warranty. The out-of-water test works fine. Everything works as it should. When I put it in the pool, it goes forward and backward about 2 feet, then rotates left and right, then forward and back and back to rotating. It does this...

We live in SE Oklahoma. We maintain our pool until October when it is too cold to swim, and we open it early before the pool is warm enough to swim in. We cover it with a safety cover. Late April or the first two weeks of May, we uncover it, and it is never green. SLAM is very quick. Maybe a day...

My thoughts - more of a convenience factor...but will save fuel. * 30 miles one way to get the maximum limit of 5 gallons of liquid chlorine. * Drive to a different town/store to get an additional 5 gallons. * 110 miles round trip to both stores takes 2 hours. Every 10-14 days. * We only shop...

The $10 upgrade expires today, presumable at midnight.

Removing, cleaning, drying, and folding up the oversized safety cover by myself is kicking my rear. Usually, part of it falls into the pool while I am trying to remove it. My deck is not as large as the cover so I have to fold it and clean parts of it at a time. Same thing with drying it. Any...

It is a mess, isn't it? Only 1 side of the pool is underground. 3 sides are covered with rock wall. If we can save it, we would be happy. The pool is unique in that there is no problem with it floating up when empty. (according to the only pool company within an hour of our home. They have...
