Hey crue! After battling some algae caused by high CYA yet again I'm done with pucks, some genius at Leslie's Pool told me granular chlorine doesn't have CYA in it, after a quick browse here I see that that's false. So with a SWG being out of financial reach right now it looks like I'm going to...

I currently have The Pool Cleaner 4-wheel version suction side cleaner. After pulling it out of storage the tires are gummy and disintegrating so they need to be replaced, it's going to be over $120 for all four tires. Due to strong winds in Vegas and lots of trees we have a lot of stuff thrown...

What do you all have for experience?, Iv'e read that for Chlorine the active amount is the way to weigh value, some products are cheap because they are full of fillers to look like a better value than the full strength chems at the Pool Stores. Where can 3" tablets be had that aren't the $200+...

Hey Guys! I need to purchase two new two way 2 in/2.5in Jandy Valve's as well as one check valve to plumb in my new variable speed pump. Boy these Jandy valves have only gotten more expensive over time. In my search I'm getting hits for a brand called Ocean Blue which is apparently a Jandy...

Having fun with my new DPD-FAS kit. I took home some water after spending the weekend getting a little sun burned at the MGM Grand pool complex. Even though by the end of Saturday the lazy river pool had lots of debris in it and litterly thousands of alluminum beer bottles scattered on the deck...

Thought I'd start my SWG install now that the temp isn't 100-110 outside and I'm to the bottom of my chlorine bucket. :-D here are a few picks to start off with, I'll add more as I go. Making the 1 1/2" PVC to Intex thread on Adapters is the first hurdle. The included hose and pieces are just...

I have one I connected to my Spa and modded to run 8 mins a day, anything more and it was WAY too much chlorine! I plan to move it to my pool slab along with a second one I got. Bought both on clearence from Walmart at the end of last season for a steal. (199 to 150 on red sticker clearance...

This is how I came about this pump.... Wanting to lower my electrical bill I started studying "variable speed" lititures from Hayward and Pentair and what the California "Title 20" is about and 2 speed pumps and hydrolic dynamics and so on. What I found is you can lower your flow and electric...
