    my friend just bought a house with a salt water pool. Has a ton of algae when opening. His pool guy told him to only use vinegar and salt. Have you ever heard of this and does it work?

    what's the best pool cleaner for the money on the market for 2017?

    I'm considering the Polaris P825. Lesli's has it for $879. My pool is pretty big and I get a lot of leaves. I'd rather not spend that much but I want to make sure I get something that really works and will last a long time. This will be my first bot.

    Has anyone mixed white lights with a colorlogic light?

    One of my My colorlogic lights went out. I'm considering replacing it with a white light. Has anyone done this? I'm worried it won't look right. My other colorlogic will probably go out soon. I'm disappointed that for $500 they don't last longer. Also, could I put an incandescent into the...

    Thanks, it does not have a bypass but the pool was winterised 4 years ago and then sat unused. That's why we are replacing the liner and water.

    Cracked in ground pool steps-HELP!

    Yes, but unfortunately we already had the liner made when we discovered the stair problem. I found out the the guy at the pool store was totally wrong, my steps are fiberglass and not Rovel! Rovel or thermoplastic stairs don't blister and mine are blistered. So it looks like I can just have then...

    Thanks again Kim. I found this online about it....... simple you cant. It can be done, but only using a Methyl Methacrylate Adhesive. Do not allow fiberglass to be used for the repair, all plastic steps manufactured to date are made of ABS plastic regardless of the name (Rovel, Centrex...
