Hi all Long time since last post. I'm after a cover + reel for the attached. What should I look for: 1- the pricey recommendation from the pool shop 2- cheaper options from eBay and the likes (Sun2Solar cover; Vingli reel; etc...) Also, would 12mm be thick enough? Shop quoted 6mm, seems...

Thanks, I'll crunch the numbers and see if I can upgrade to a larger cartridge. I want to stay as cheap as possible, but still with quality equipment.

$hops recommendations, better filtration and longer life compared to sand. I had sand and DE before and it was doing an ok job, just found deep cleaning quite painful as sand was always super compact and hard to loosen. mind you the sand was already in the filter when I bought the house 6 years...

Hi all I've got a crack in my sand filter and need replacement. I was given the below options from my 3 local pool shops and I'm after some advice. I've done a bit of research but could not really tell them all apart and I wonder if I should go for the cheapest package. I've also asked for an...

Hi all I don’t have any solar (yet). No sure I can have. Lots trees around and limited sun exposure. Electricity is $0.21/kWh

Hi all Long time since last post, hope you're all keeping well. Considering installing a heat pump to extend the swimming season. From my research, a 17kW would be the minimum size. Would need one with its own pump to work independently from my filter / chlorinator. I have a heater piping...

Thanks everyone I didn’t find using 4 drops in a 25m to be so much different to 2-in-10 or 5-in-25 @BrettClearChoiceLabs would it be possible to add a pH 8.0 colour square to your testing tube? Since my pool really loves pH 7.8 it would make it easier for me to know when to adjust pH. I’m...

Hi I only use 2 programmed timers (T3 and T4 are not available) so 3h in the morning and 1h in the evening for now, I'll increase with the demand as we progress in the season. It could happen anytime on any program, there's no telling when it'll happen. I'll give their support team a call...

Hi! I had the same Polaris and eventually ran into similar issues. i found out the hard way that once a part started to fail, the other parts weren’t far behind and I ended up spending too much money fixing bits and pieces as they were falling apart. my advice, knowing what I know now, is...

Hey mate Did the same since I never checked end of cycle at the very last minute. if I get flashing lights at the beginning of cycle, they never go solid and I’m not getting chlorine production. but at the very end of the cycle I get about 2 minutes of flashing without chlorine production...

That would be a great feature, but going through all the manual there is no reference to such a feature. Unless your SWG is more recent than mine (I think mine was built in 2013) and it has such a feature. Or you may have a similar problem to mine, except I never got flashing lights after they...

Thanks Any recommendations on electronic pH meter?

Hi Yeah been thinking about that too. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi all Gonna bump this one for the weekend see if more people can chime in. I realise the SWG is quite unique to the Australian market so maybe not many people here can help. Thanks anyway
