    Kitty Litter Camoflage

    When you have these -[attachment=2:2du78jsz]s6090079.JPG[/attachment:2du78jsz] you know that they need a place to "go" that is accessible. We took a door off of a closet and put a couple of boxes in it, but then we couldn't use the closet for anything BUT the boxes. So coats got strewn about. A...

    Lawnmower Class Action Settlement

    https://lawnmowerclass.com/ I got a notice in the mail about this. Ever wondered how the 3 H.P mowers of your youth became 5 and 6 H.P with out gaining any displacement or computer controls? The obvious ways - marketing lies, cheating and deception! Thank God pool equipment makers don't try...

    IG Liner replacement - Botched concrete repair?

    I would like to know what others would do in my shoes, please comment. We ordered a replacement liner, installed for $3766. Included in the installation is bottom repair, as I told them that there are "dents" now, and was assured that they would "smooth it all out." Installation was scheduled...

    SWG chlorine output and salt level

    Split from salt-testing-t10788.html by TFP Moderator into it's own thread for clarity [Thread Hi-Jack ] I don't want to steal your thread, but thought that the smart people might be able to answer these similar salt questions too. Will a SWG produce more chlorine at a given output setting...

    Actual SWG vs. Bleach Cost, Eye popping!

    Having read here, there, and everywhere how MUCH a SWG was going to save me, I mulled it over, ran some numbers in my head, and decided to pull the trigger on getting one. I went low budget (thankfully), and now I am almost kicking myself for not running ALL of the numbers first, `cause I'm...

    CYA Testing Procedures

    Every time I took a sample in for testing the CYA numbers didn't match mine, and I was concerned because they used a Taylor K-0203 Counter Lab Rx1($705). I was using my cheapo HTH test, so I decided that I needed a better one, and purchased Taylor R-0013-E($8.80), 4088($9.45) slide comparator...

    Parallel or series cell installation?

    Will it make a large difference in production to have cells in series? Will the salt level drop of the first cell make the second much less effective? I'm thinking of two Intex AGP SWC for my ~24,000 gal IG pool. I can either put them in series on my heater out line, make a T for two, or go...
