    Need advice picking mesh cover

    Needing to get a new installed mesh cover for my mother's 20x40ish kidney shaped pool (no standard size). I've had a loop-loc on mine for 35+ years and been satisfied, but don't know what is best now for her. Got an estimate for a McEwin at $4235, or +$623 for the finer mesh; separate bid for...

    Losing media during backwash

    I've got a Hayward S270 (top multiport SP0714T) with a Hayward Super II Pump (1.5 hp) that I've used together since 2009. Swapped out the original zeobrite for sand, and then last year swapped out the sand for Dryden Activate glass filter media (which I am very happy with). No problems using...
