We are getting the Polaris ALPHA IQ Robot included in our upcoming pool build. Does anyone here have this and able to give me the pros and cons with it? Can it climb walls and steps? Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to see if anyone here has a 10'-13' cantilever umbrella with a weighted base (200-300lb) and how it handles in the wind or gust of winds. We had two 11' Grand Patio umbrellas with the bases weighed down with sand and water (about 250lbs) and the wind still blew them out of place and...

I have this Paramount skimmer basket with attached net that I have to replace a torn net. Does anyone know how to remove the handle portion it is attached to? Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to show people what is available as far as skimmers go. This is a new one, has a remote, and a little less expensive than the Solar Breeze but not compatible with salt water pools unfortunately...

Has anyone had an issue with this breaking? Our pool is only about 15 months old and ours has broken already (still under warranty). Our pool guy says its a cheap plastic part and he always sees this part broke. Will be getting ours replaced either Monday or Tuesday.

Is it pool time yet!?

Hello to all. I have a question I have been wanting to ask for a few weeks. When we had our pool built, they installed a Y-line connection from our outside faucet to "somewhere" in the pool (all underground). I know they told us exactly what it is for and HOW it works during pool school, but...

Installed these deck lights after DW said she didn't want them (she thought they would be too bright)....she LOVES them! Next up, more privacy landscaping (trees/shrubs) since we lost all of it with the last winter freeze.

Wife told me yesterday she ordered two 12' Cantilever Umbrellas for the pool deck. Does anyone here have one and can give a short review of it? I would say about 75% of the reviews I read are good. Some say it "sways" a lot in the wind. Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to show off our outdoor kitchen we had custom-made from a company (Rustic WoodWorx) out of Georgia that I found on Etsy. Wife picked out the original color, but when it arrived we absolutely hated it. So I just stained it a different color. Turned out well ( I have since stained...

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone in the San Antonio TX area knows of a company that can make and install a pool cover like the picture below? I haven't reached out to our pool builder yet, but wanted to see if there were any alternatives. It would have to be "custom made" since we don't have...

We have the Dolphin Proteus DX5i. Been going strong for the past 4 months with at least daily usage (2 hour cycle). It works great! Is there any type of preventative maintenance I should be doing or take into Leslies for a "tune-up" or something? I want this thing to continue working good...

....when you have a pool. We are blessed.

Found a vendor on Etsy to make this for us. Absolutely hate the color but craftsmanship is top notch! We plan on re-staining it a more brownish/gray within the next 2 weeks.

Just wanted to "show off" our new equipment enclosure. It was done by Tony @ Sun Away Outdoor Shades. He did a great job and we are completely satisfied with his work!

First of all, I LOVE our new Proteus DX5i Robot. I want to place the control module (on stand) a little closer to the pool and away from the equipment stand where the outlet is. Would there be an issue if I used a short 10' extension cord from the plug to the control module? I read somewhere...

I need to seal our travertine tile decking and wanted your thoughts on this brand/type. Mixed reviews on whether it leaves it "slippery" (which is what I don't want!). Do the experts here think this will work? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. We are currently in the process of building a 427 sq. ft. IGP. It will be on the smaller side (14'x35') (3.5' to 4.5' to 5.5' depth). I see a lot of folks here give rave reviews for the Dolphin 300i. I know you get what you pay for but having a hard time grasping paying...

Just had our bubble burst on a "planned" IG pool when we received the plot map of the new home we just closed on Friday. Have a CATV easement extended out 10' from back of property that goes through the middle of the backyard. I think we would've reconsidered this house if we knew this...

First I want to say I am learning a lot from reading the forums here. TIA The wife and I are contemplating on in ground pool for our next house which we should be closing on in about a month. We are clueless on how it works if you aren't rolling in the dough and able to pay cash for your...
