Hi everyone, It's almost that time in the northeast! I want to install the new intermatic pool pump timer I purchased today and need help conceptualizing the install. I currently plug in my pool pump and let it run. I in-plug it when I need to turn it off. I don't have any sort of switch...

HI everyone, I'm going on my 2nd year as a pool owner. Year one had it's challenges but this site was a great help in getting me through it. It's an in-ground concrete pool, about 18,000 gallons. Year 1, I covered the pool with a blue tarp. There was some water loss when I took the cover...

Hi everyone, my name is George. I am new to the forum and excited to utilize everyone's knowledge and resources. I feel like I'm really gaining a good grasp on what to do/when to do it and how to do it. I feel like I've been "pool stored" quite a few times and I'm tired of throwing away...
