It seems like I have to buy a new in-pool thermometer several times a season. Has anyone found a good durable one? Thanks :)

Hello all - I am considering adding Borates to my pool, mainly to help with PH rise and water feel. My question is should I wait until next season, or does what I add now stay stable in a winterized pool? We will probably close toward the end of October, and I just wonder if I should hold...

Hi all -- during some very enthusiastic scrubbing during a recent SLAM I dislodged and ruined the foam piece on the skimmer weir. It's a Hayward, not sure of the model number. Any tips on finding a replacement for just the foam? Thanks :)
