TFP, I live in Massachusetts and faithfully close my pool per TFP directions every year. I need to winterize by blowing out pipes/antifreeze/drain pump etc. so I do not get freeze up in pipes. This means I cannot run my SWG year round and, due to pool water freeze-over, I cannot shock during...

All, Looking to buy a solar cover reel that is good quality without breaking the bank. One that can be reeled and unfurled by one person. probably a 10-12mil cover 18'x36 inground pool. Would like to stay under $500 Thanks

Thanks all for the help, I appreciate it.

Sorry peterdaly...the liquid soap question was a joke from a movie....thanks for responses...keep em comin'

All, I live in New England and am looking at purchasing a solar cover to keep in heat gained during the day. The sun is on my pool from @8:30 until about 4 pm. Questions: *Is thicker better (more heat or heat retention) other than the warranty or longevity? *Anyone in New England with a...

All, Looking for websites, Instructions, how-tos on how to prep and pour your own pool deck. I currently have a lousy condition on 3 sides of the pool and would like to start next season on pouring a good deck. Thanks

I used the gallon calculator in this: http://www.poolcalculator.com/ 18 x 36 x5.5 deep

If your CYA is too high it will keep FC longer/better than normal. Also how is your SWCG sized to your pool? I bought mine oversized on purpose and run it at 10-20% most of the year.

This may not help, but I have used "Concentrated" Clorox before. Listed as 8.35% instead of 6.25%. As previously stated, be sure the sodium hypochloarte % is listed and there are no added frills (scented etc). Regards,

I have the same size pool and this is what I bought: (RJ45) http://www.circupool.com/compare-chlori ... ystems.php I run it at about 20% when pool is not being used and bump it up as necessary. Great system.

I have an existing IGP that is fully bonded to code including the ladder. I do not however have the handrail to the stairs installed. I would have to drill into the concrete to install this but due to the concrete, I would not be able to ground/bond it. What would this mean if I installed it...

Devolved, The rest of the kind folks on this site are probably tired of hearing me rave about my CircuPool. http://www.circupool.com/compare-chlori ... ontactForm Affordable, easy to use and made in Australia! Good luck.

conrad, The RJ45 seems the right size for your pool. Always oversize so you do not have to run 100%. I run mine at 20-30% depending on use. FC stays at 3-5 ppm.

For what it is worth, my strip readings and my SWG indicated (digital readout) readings are usually within 100 ppm of each other. By my standards, that is pretty good. (3%+/-)

I cannot answer to an Intex SWG working on your pool. I would think you would need a pretty big SWG for your size pool. I can, however say that the SWG method of chlorine maint. is bay far the easiest, cheapest and most "hands free" (see unattended) solution out there.

tedbriggs, I did a massive amount of research on these last year as I was buying all new stuff for my pool. I came up with CircuPool brand. Check them out! http://www.discountsaltpool.com/index.htm Be sure to buy a unit that is oversize for your pool (ie RJ-20 or RJ-30 for you) -Price is...

All, Has anyone had any luck with any type of solar heater in N.E? I have 40k gal I/G with very good sun. What type of temp increases do you see? What is the cost of your unit? Thanks

As the title suggests I am looking for suggstions on an inexpensive reusable "Sock" for dissolving cya in my skimmer basket. I used old (yes, clean) sport socks last year but I am looking for something more durable and permanent. Thanks In Advance.

Shoot me your e-mail and I can scan mine and send it to you or send me your address and I will color copy it (I will check for color match to original). [email protected] Regards,

Asking for my Mother-In-Law. She has a gunite I/G that is currently Bromine and she wants to go to SWG. Is this possible without draining all the water? What other complications might she face? Heard that the pool bottom may lift if drained. Thanks

All, I blew out all returns and plugged them-no problem. With the skimmers I sucked out as much water as I could with a vac, blew more water from the pipes into the skimmer, sucked out more (rinse repeat) until I could no longer get water to blow into the skimmer any more. I then dumped some...

All, I live in Massachusetts and I am closing my I/G for the 1st time. With my Sta-rite cartridge filter, I have cleaned the filters, drained the water etc etc. Do I fully clamp the filter lid and store it like that for the winter or do I just snug down the clamps to keep out mice and not...

A couple of things: You can buy your SWG online and set it up your self and save big $$$$ Example: Cicupool RJ 45 ~$1000 Also, I know my Mother In Law spends huge money on Bromine every year. I spent <$200 on salt this year and that was a new pool, it will be even less next year.

All, I have 3 vinyl stairs into my I/G pool that are a bit slippery. I will need to install and bond a railing next year but I was wondering if anyone knew of a product to put on them (completely submerged) to increase traction. Regards,

After a simple test, manufacturer told me I had a bad LED controller. No matter how far I turned up the SWG it only got to 10%. By the way, the customer service at Circupool gets and A+. Part will be here Friday and I am told it is an easy install. 100% covered by warranty.

Water is clear. CYA test should be pretty close. (I was careful and thorough) I will bump up again and see.

All, I have been having problems over the last month keeping my fc at or around 5ppm. I shocked the pool last week in respose to my similar post to this as some suggested I may be fighting an alge bloom. I currently have my (oversized) SWG to 70% while running my pump ~8 hrs. a day and continue...

Two should be fine for your pool. Try to get them facing each other along each width end of your pool while not facing the house (as you stated) I could not do this exactly as stated above on my refurb and I still have plenty of light (18x 36 rectangle with stairs)

Re: Does an Intelliflo variable speed pump need a GFI breake My electrician stated that it was code in Mass. (FYI I trust him) Anything powered that comes in contact with the water you are swimming in should have it. Pump SWG Lights etc
