We plan to remodel our 1997 plaster pool in the Dallas area. We will not be replacing the coping, but we will need new tile, plaster (thinking about quartz or pebble), an upgrade to LED lights, and possibly adding a saltwater chlorine generator. I have started looking at contractors, but would...

I need to replace my 1.5 HP pool pump. I am looking to replace it with a dual speed pump or variable speed pump. I have an older Aqualink RS (from 1996) that I would like to upgrade to the iAqualink when I replace the pump. First, I have read several posts on here about the cost savings...

We have a Hayward Phantom pool cleaner that we are getting ready to replace about $200 in parts. I started wondering if it would be better to replace the Phantom cleaner with a Polaris 280 based on the reviews that I have read. I assume I can use the same booster pump as long as it is in...

I started using the BBB method 1 week ago when I happened upon this website. I was searching for information about high CYA levels because I was getting conflicting information from 2 different pool stores. First, I just want to thank everyone here who puts so much time into helping! I...
