Waterbear & I have had this discussion before. ( & we do not entirely agree ..LOL) I have two hottubs. (One indoors & one outside.) general rule of thumb ( from all the hot tub dealers around here & the manufacture guidelines provided with my tubs), is based on TDS ( total dissolved solids)...

So, I see by your bio that you have an inground pool? Is there any particular type of plunger for this job? anyone who has tried this with ingrounds.. I see a couple of different styles of plungers out there. I don't have the standard one ( which is a smaller circle bellow a larger one) but...

Thanks everyone.. nice to see you too :-D Okay, well, the camera is somewhere.. ha ha. so no pics just yet.. the more I look at the coping, the less I want to mess with it.. the is cement right up to it and I still don't see how it would go on / or off so I think I will venture into the now...

Here's the brief background story: my DH didn't want to help close the pool this last fall :roll: .. so I didn't get around to it until very late ( November in Canada)... ( when I finally shut off the pump, the pool instantly froze on the top.. very neat to watch) anyway, we could not get the...

Okay it sounds good what do you consider "medium weight" is that like 10mms? ( or less maybe?)

Bump :bump: I still haven't heard from anyone who has used the dark covers

Solar Cover Colours :?: I'm confused about all the solar-cover-colour choices available. Every website seems to say something different about what the types of covers, will actually achieve. (ie: some say "black" is good for heat retention, others say it's bad because only the cover gets...

bump still no answer yet :bump:

bump don't think anyone saw this question

I have an older solar-blanket and because the pool is a "lazy L " shape, the blanket takes quite a beating ( as I have to partially fold it in order to make the turn and get it on the reel) The seams are starting to tear-apart. Is there a paticular repair material that I should use to fix the...

I Love my Dolphin seems like most everyone on these forums is always putting them down though. If you want to hear a negative about "Blue", see CarlD's posts on the other forum. he liked it but was disappointed that he always has to remove his ladders and if you don't have a rectangular pool...

Yup USPS is the way to go. ( standard parcel airmail) all those courier companies, take a huge fee out for themselves... I almost quite buying form the US becuase of it

Is the pool water 100% fresh? perhaps CYA was left over from last season? as for Pool Store testings... well, let me tell you a little story. I had three different Pool Stores test my pool within a 24 hr period. as well as Testing by a friend with his kit, testing with two different types of...

um.. " H " "E" "double-hockey-sticks" Yeah! There are a couple of Canadian online retaillers... one in Alberta that I like a lot, but shipping to NS is a p.i.t.a. intheswim is pretty good, but you can't get chemicals cross border. and duty taxes, and brokerage fees are a b*tch. btw, I am...

I have an in-ground pool, but when buying my dolphin (2020), they sent me the roboKleen (twice) by accident so anyway, I had a chance to have a real good look at it. The over-all construction looked very good and seemed to be of high quality. tempted as I was to try it out, I did not becuase...
