    Shade for screened/caged pool and deck ?

    PoolGate and setsail, I am using a sale shade ... it will just be attached INSIDE the posts - about 8' above the pool surround. Buddy in Vero has had his for several years - gets a lot of wind, but like mine, the wind is somewhat blocked by the cage screen. And, yeah, those gutters are bolted...

    Shade for screened/caged pool and deck ?

    Hi All, Visiting a friend in Vero Beach awhile back - he had just rigged a shade across his pool - from post to post of the cage. Seemed to work well - he anchored off to the posts with diamond base pad rings, then used a carabiner and turnbuckle (all stainless) on one side and heavy duty...

    Paver pool surround - algae, lichen, etc growing, sand coming out of joints - what to do?

    Paver pool surround - algae, lichen, etc growing, sand coming out of joints - what to do?

    Hi All, Northwest Florida - hot and humid summers - fully caged. Entering season four with this pool and surround. Season two we had the material between the pavers pressure washed out and new polymeric sand installed - big mess - looked good until the next season. Season three I tried...

    Maytronics S200(Robotina) Maintenance 5 years.

    Maytronics S200(Robotina) Maintenance 5 years.

    Great tutorial! My recent effort is at: Another Maytronic (Pentair Warrior SE) Story My biggest gripe about the device is how the cord tangles while running ... I've tried lubricating the cable with dielectric grease where it enters the power transfer connector, but that didn't help. is...

    Another Maytronic (Pentair Warrior SE) Story

    Can anyone confirm the impeller drag being how this device senses the water? Haven't found much on this ...
