    So what's the current hotness in Pool Robots?

    Not to just pile on with another 'What Robot should I buy?' thread (although this is really what it is), I've seen some newer, different ones out there and I'd like to get some perspectives. I've owned two different pool robots and preferred one much more than the other... of course it was also...

    Is this spa behavior normal (difficult heating when cold)

    My wife and I build a new pool this year, with spa. (My last house had a pool with no spa, so the spa part is pretty new to me). Anyway, it was great in the summer, turn it on, it heats up - great. But now that winter is arriving, I'm having trouble getting it hot enough. I have the thermostat...

    Spa 'aromatherapy' crystals, etc... Does this mess up my spa

    So, I've been poolless for a little over a year, moving into a new house, but we just had a new pool built, with a spa (which I didn't have before). Anyway, I was on the poolgeek website, and they sell a bunch of 'armoatherapy' solutions and crystals to add to your spa. Smells nice, all that...

    Been out of my last house for several months now, and getting ready to add a pool to the new place. Not sure what the etiquette here is on recommending a PB, but if you have someone you like please reply or send me a PM. (Had one shining recommendation for a PB from a local in my neighborhood...

    Leak, cracks, ughhhh. What to do next?

    Ok, so this story has been going on for some time... I noticed my pool leaking a couple of months ago. It was hot, but the bucket test showed me it was definitely not evaporation. I was about to have someone come out to find the leak when I found a crack in the side. (I'm pretty sure my pool is...

    How can I find a recently discontinued Pool Lounge?

    I bought a pool lounge a couple of years ago, and have not been able to find another one near as good as it since. After much searching, I've finally tracked down the manufacturer and model name... but it's been discontinued. I tried my local Leslie's (where I bought the original) and they say...

    Question about housing/seal for Pool Light.

    My pool light quit working, so I unscrewed the housing and pulled it out. When I popped open the housing, the rubber seal was very tight to the housing and had some sort of substance on it. Almost seemed like a dried version of grease. Is there some specific substance I should be using here? or...

    Waterproof Universal Remote Control

    Does anyone know where I can find a waterproof (or maybe even just water resistant) universal remote control. I'd like to skip songs, etc from my floating pool chair, so a water-resistant remote would be awesome. Full blown water-proof that can float on it's own in the water would be the best...

    Perplexed - Purple Precipitate Polluting Pool

    Hi, I've been lurking around here for a while. I've got a 25000 Gal (I think) Fiberglass pool in my backyard. It was here when I moved here, and I've been paying a pool service to take care of it for the last two years. Lately, I've decided that I'm up to the task to take care of it myself...
