The sensor on my AquaPure 1400 needs replacing. Two different pool repair companies want close to $400 to replace it. It looks very straight forward as far as unplugging the old sensor from the circuit board and plugging the new one in. This is the newer version of the system with the rounded...

Hi all, I was hoping to get some of your wise input and opinions about my deck. I have two very large cracks that go all the way through the entire thickness my deck and run from the edge of the pool out to the end of the cool decking. I realize some cracking is normal, but these are really...

I've been told that I should drain my pool every two years by a couple of different pool "experts" because the water here gets too hard after a couple of years. Is this true? And what's the best way to drain it if I don't have a big enough yard to drain it on to, or a sewer clean out to run it...

Anyone have good luck with any particular type of solar blanket reels? There's literarlly dozens to choose from. I'll need one that has to span a width of 18 ft. and hold a solar blanket 32 ft in total length.

We're adding a heater to our pool and trying to decide whether to go with a heat pump or a solar heating system. We're in Arizona, so you'd think that solar heating would be the automatic choice, but I haven't heard anything good from any of the companies I requested estimates from. The company...

I'm coming up on my first cleaning of my cartridge filters. I have a Jandy filter tank with the round cylinder cartridge filters inside it. Any recommendations for using any cleaning solvents or cleansers, or is it just best to rely on pressurized water from a garden hose? I have one of those...

I was told to clean the SWG cell every three months at about the same time as I clean the cartridge filters. What is the best way to clean the cell? I think someone said to use muriatic acid. If that's true, how much should I dilute it? Thanks.

Hi all, I've been visiting this site since we began the new pool process back in May, but with all the work that goes into putting in a pool and the extra decking and landscaping I did on my own, plus having to go back to work when school started back up in August (I teach high school), I...

Hi all, Looking for some suggestions for adding more privacy between our backyard and our neighbor's. They built a huge two story house on their lot and now it feels like we're swimming in a fishbowl with their second floor windows and balconies way up over the 6 foot privacy walls between our...

Hi guys, I was hoping to get a little advice on how much bleach to use in my pool. I have a new pool (about 4 weeks) and they haven't started up the SWG yet, they say they want the pepple tech to cure four to six weeks before adding the salt, so I'm adding my own chlorine in the meantime. They...

I was wondering if anyone knows about colored concrete. We just had extra decking poured on Friday (6/22/07) around the decking that comes with the pool package. We went with a brown color and as the days have past the color gets more and more splotchy and has white patches all over. My sales...
