    I had a good experience with Amerimerc as well. Best price I have found on filter cartridges. Fast shipping. But for a company that has everything, has same day shipping, great prices, and excellent cutomer service? Keep on dreaming.

    Empty Pebble-tec pool info needed

    It is a bank owned home. We are hoping the bank had the pool drained for mosquito issues. no obvious water level stains lower than "normal" so that is a plus. And no dried out crud on the bottom. We will find out! I do not see any obvious signs of problems. Keeping our fingers crossed!

    Auto Fill Valve Broke Off - How Do I Shut Off the Water?

    The pool auto fills that I have used or have seen have had a brass irrigation/sprinkler valve that controls the water to the auto fill. The new to us pool also has a ball valve at the auto fill's pipe connection at the house. Double shut off capabilities. I would think there should be a valve...

    SWG operationg cost?

    So, not knowing how the SWG will work prior to installing the system on any given pool suggests that the system is for those who would rather have the ease of generated chlorine no matter the cost versus someone installing one because neighbor Jones has one and his pool costs went down then...

    SWG operationg cost?

    After reading several threads on different sites about SWGs, I have to agree with Dave. We are buying a home with a pool that has an SWG.

    Skimmer weir and float valve questions

    Is your float valve in the auto fill or in the skimmer? There is a float valve in the skimmer to protect from low water. Switches flow from weir to main drain if water level gets below skimmer inlet.
