Hello All So far the season has gone swimmingly. Now I replaced my old brush and vacuum head with new nylon bristle brushes and the are beginning to shed already. I know I had seen rubber bristle brushes and now I cant fine them. Any help would be appreciated. Tony

I am almost embarassed about asking this..but....I need to know. What is the best way to get started with the briquettes. I need to learn because my wife is the griller, and since it is my pool (cleaning etc) I want to be the master of the grill too. As you see, my neophytness precludes me...

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I worked but have Mon-Wed off. The bottom step of one of the ladders broke yesterday and I wanted to take the ladder out and either replace the hardware or the complete ladder. I removed the bolts at the base of each where it goes into the concrete thinking...

I tell them that its the only thing ..... that gets the blood out.....but I said the hard part is waiting for the little pieces to dry.....I explain that the bleach does absolutely nothing about the pieces and the I smile and wink.....

The ants are gone I rinsed out the motor and all is well.....

I had noticed that a fire ant hill was building over by the filter pump and I was planning on taking care of it on my day off, today. As I was walking my wife out for her to leave for work, I decided to run the filter for a bit......I flip the switch and hear the power hit the pump but no go...

I will try and take a picture and get it posted

Actually it refers to one person's view of a narrow minded lemming in reference to a particular type of motorcycle. It is at Black Echo

LOL, Im pretty sure I got farther into your post before I realised what you were doing....too funny. Thanks for the laugh!!

At my pump/filter area, and in between the 3 returns and the 2 skimmer pipes, where they go into the ground, is a standpipe that has water that is a couple of inches below the opening of the pipe, any thoughts? hope I gave enough detail. Thanks in advance

google: Hill scroggin

The electrician did not charge me anything for pressing the switch, and because of that he will get the timer business.

Another reason to hate the hill scroggin we bought our house from..... The pool lights never worked, so I pull one of the bulbs out (electrical wire too short to be removed from the water) and found a bulb was indeed burned out. Replaced it and still no lights. Called an electrician to look at...
