Just ordered one, expect a review in a few weeks. If you are a Texas resident you can use the coupon code "taxsucks" and they'll take $5 off any order over $50 because tax sucks. If anyone is concerned about woot, I've been buying from there for years and never had a problem.

Just wanted to chime in here too, just got a solar cover, reel, etc from them. Fast, free shipping, ordered on a Saturday, everything arrived in Texas by Friday. Also, I had ordered the wrong cover, they changed it over the phone, I got right through.

This completely worked for me! Got one early this season, re-added my borates and they were gone that same day! + it helps the pool water feel a little better. Time for Borax! (about $2.50/3 at Target). so-you-want-to-add-borates-to-your-pool-why-and-how-t4921.html

I hadn't thought of that, and we do have some gusty days in N. Texas! Looks like I'll be getting one to fit! And Paul, good thoughts, we don't have that much flying around after the pollen from the oak trees (which is awful!) but I think we'll get bigger than we need and just take the time to...

OK, we've decided to finally get a solar cover (thanks wife's bonus!) But our pool is old, pretty generic rectangle which makes the sizing easier but my question is it's 17'x32' should we get a 16x34 cover or a 18x34 cover and cut it down(worth the hassle for the extra 6" of cover on each...

If you're in the N. Dallas area and feel the need to use a pool store I've always gotten pretty solid advice from California Pools (just don't buy their products, that Bio stuff is expensive!) Just use their advice ;) My new favorite place to shop (for parts, test supplies after I got my TF 100...

DHinNC Nice! We have an 02 Sebring, have you ever checked out www.s2kca.com ? It's a great group of people, non-profit, and more of a social club then a bunch of gear heads although I have learned how to do 90% of my own maintenance from other members. Check it out! this is from our last group...

that's our plan next spring!

I have been using a mix of BBB and the lazy man's pool maintenance (ie. tri-chlori) Please take this into consideration, I live in N. Dallas, I add water to my pool on a very regular basis or have a lot added at once by down pours where I have to drain (up to a few inches at a time, yes, at the...

from 88 to 81 in three days...I'm getting a solar cover! hope it heats up by the end of the week, we have a big pool party this weekend...who would of thought this time of year it'd be 78 outside in Dallas! :hammer:

Must be Windows :lol: (sorry, had to!) :-D

the company that remodeled our pool used some stuff called 'sure clean' in Feb. I can tell you the boot prints they didn't wash off are still visiable under the sealer so I'm guessing it's pretty good... :roll: N. Texas, 50//60% sunshine daily on the flagstone. I have no idea where to get it...
