Thx. Useful feedback. Especilly like the simple approach of sealed tub for towels. Just take out a stack when people are swimming...

Thanks. Useful observations!

Interested in everyone's experience with putting in a simple outdoor shower adjacent to my 8'x15' 5' deep 104F heated spa/pool This will be moderate budget (TX). A number of issues still need to be defined Where: Thinking either against a cedar privacy fence behind the pool or incorporating a...

I'm still learning. Taking the time to figure out my use case/true needs. My spa/pool is small (8'x15' x universally 5' deep). I'm beginning to wonder how much cleaning I will actually need. Live in a hot humid climate (Houston, TX), but after the hottest month of the year incl a decent...

Many thanks to all! I think I have a gameplan now. Discovered that the front opening (only) skimmer box does have a standard suction port at the bottom. Pool builder failed to remove cap over the port used to protect during construction. Still haven't signed off on delivery, so its his problem...

I have an 8'x15' spa-pool that's uniformly 5' deep. There are two main drains and a front opening water level skimmer in the wall. No top opening basket in the skimmer. I'd like to use a suction driven pool cleaner like the Zodiac G3/.MX6 or Hayward The PoolCleaner. My understanding is they...

I have a new small (8'x15' rectangular uniformly 5' deep) gunite s-pool (just filled for first time this week). Trying to decide what I need for cleaning. At this point, I'm planning to get a semi-automated cleaner. I have never owned a property with a pool (my wife grew up in one) and readily...
