My chlorinator is dead and cannot be fixed. Time to replace it, any suggestions? A recommended unit my local pool man about a replacement because: 1) Only has 2 boards inside, no transformer thus lightweight. The old one broke due to falling because it was heavy, was mounted on a particle...

2.5 years ago I purchased a solar cover "plastic bubles - blue top, gray bottom". Now it is braking up at the edges and time to replace. I got mine with the rollers off ebay for $450. Is this a normal life expectancy? What do you think where to get one that will have a long life? Thanks

Hi I got the pool water tested by a local reputable pool shop, they gave me the print out attached and sold me 2 Kg buffer to raise the very low TA which I did, but did not have salt so I purchased some salt with clarifier from bunnings (local hardware mega store in Sydney). I added the 2 Kg...

Thinking to spend AU$3000+ to buy it and would love to hear from other owners as to how does it behave when it encounters stairs? Would it be possible to find a robotic cleaner that once it finds stairs, it climb and then moves along the same step to clean it before it moves to the next one up...
