    Need help with pool anchors for umbrellas/volleyball/basketball?

    We have two of these installed. They put concrete around them below the pavers and bonded. They have the extension to use with umbrellas which can be removed and capped. https://www.coolpoolproducts.com/categories.php?category=8%22-Umbrella-Sleeves

    Sensitive Skin & Pool Finish

    IntelliConnect review/warnings - Seeking an alternative

    Do any of you have solar panels, Pentair solartouch and intelliconnect? The override doesn’t kick on when solar turns on so the pump speed never changes. If the flow rate is too slow solar will not work. Wondering if there is something I’m missing?

    Explorer 30

    Explorer 30

    I received the E20 yesterday from Marina. I used it today and it worked great. So maybe you just have a defective one?
