I've only seen the coupons in hard copy mail pieces.

I also pre-ordered; but as soon as they asked for payment, I cancelled. Story looked too familiar. Hope you didn't get burned

Leslie's Pool sends coupons on a regular basis for 2.5g refills (they say concentration varies between 10-12%) for 2@ $6.99, so about $1.40/g. Once in a while the price goes up to $7.99 or the deal is 3 for $10.99. Plus they have a punch card system for one free refill every 10 punches, with...

I'm looking for something that, according to my Google searches, must not exist. Before I give up, I'd like to ask the pool experts here if there might be something that would accomplish what I want. My pool is pretty small, inground gunite, semi-kidney shape. The single light niche is on one...

Thanks for the update. I wish you the best and will buy one at retail if you succeed.

One thing I saw that I didn't know before was that the Jandy valve that controls the solar had a hole, about 1/4", drilled in the shut-off flange. I'm not grasping exactly what its purpose is, but it has the effect of allowing water to enter the panels (at least to some degree) when off; and...

Solar tech came out today. He replaced the collapsed pipe, so I could see it better: about 1/3 crushed, so it still had capacity. The VRV seemed to be functioning well, although he commented that the ball appeared slightly deformed. The only changes were about 15' of replacement (was and is...

I really doubt a working product ever becomes available, but they do have a sense of humor: "SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA, April 1, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- San Francisco based*Sutro, which builds a water monitoring device for your swimming pool is launching a new service that uses drones to...

Will do. I'll report after the pros look at it Mon. Thx. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I only have a distant look, but they seem to be 6-8' of two or three damage areas that are partially caved (wild guess: 60% reduced circumference). The overall span of the subject area makes a 90° turn, with about 3-4' from one panel section to the hip, then a turn and 3-4' to the next panel...

Regarding pressure, the 6psi I previously reported was wrong. I noticed no matter what I did, it never went above 6 (because it moved from 0 to 6, I expected it was somewhat accurate; but no). So I bought a new one that, with a brand-new filter, now tells me: SolarOFF=6, SolarON=12. I have...

Yes, maybe. The panels start at about 10' and go up such that the VRV is about 16-18'.

I *think* I've solved my problem. Apparently, the filter is causing pressure to be insufficient to close the VRV. As an experiment, while cleaning it (yet again), I closed up the filter w/o the cartridge. Without that impediment, the pump was able to push all the air out and, in a couple of...

A.O.Smith USQ1102 1hp 1-speed. Old & rebuilt. I inherited it with the house and have been anxiously waiting for it to die so I can replace it; but it's a warhorse. One more piece of anecdotal evidence: there is a suction-side Hayward cleaner that zooms over the floor (past experience tells me...

Filter pressure seems a little low (6psi) but that could just be a cheap ebay gauge. It doesn't change appreciably when the solar turns on. My waterfall has always been a pretty good, though admittedly subjective, indicator of a dirty filter. I can tell from the flow that something - typically...
