    It's snowing...

    WOW!!! Thanks for sharing. That definitely helps get me in the Christmas mood. We don't get to see much of that down south. We get the rain end of it. Occasionally the white flurries but nothing close to that amount. Thanks again.

    New pool- winter care?

    Without having a way to circulate your pool, I don't see how that would be recommended.

    Can overflow really handle the rain?

    Dee, in drought situations, I would think that you would want as much help from Mother Nature as possible. I would let the drain worry about levelling the pool back out. We actually picked up about 3 inches of rain just a few days back. I was hopeful the rains were coming because with the...

    polaris listing badly and doing other strange things

    A few things to check.... On the back side of the unit, there is a round buoy float that is adjustable. By what you have explained, I would thread the float in toward the unit to bringing it closer to the center of the vacuum. On the back of the unit, at the bottom, there is a little water...

    What to do with excavated dirt?

    That usually will not work in the south. Usually after the first 12-18 inches, you are into the clay and lots of it. I had 4 truckloads hauled off when they dug ours. 3 loads of fill dirt afterwards to level out around the pool.

    What is the best quality pool equipment?

    As Dave mentioned earlier, that is a very broad question. Food for thought.. Many Pool Builders are given special incentives, better customer service (repair, replacement parts, etc.) if they carry a specific manufacturers brand. Some of those that come to mind... Pentair, Jandy, Hayward are...
