Let's raise that minimum wage again.

No problem, it's cheap and works fine, and been doing it that way for a couple years now.

My wife duct taped a cup to a branch and I use it almost daily, works great. I dont' get down low so well either.

I haven't, love my new Kreepy. And also love my new massage lounger In bought and payed for partially with the money I have saved from buying a robot.

Thanks for the input I still have not made up my mind on a robot. Ido like the way they scrub although since using the TFP method I don't seem to need scrubbing as much so that is not my main concern.Filtering is not a real concern for me as I have a D.E. filter system already that is probably...

Thanks for the suggestions I am still on the fence, I can afford a robot but was quite content with my old Kreepy, so still may just get the new version unless for some reason I just cannot do without the thousand dollar cleaner.

So I am guessing nobody is using inexpensive suction side cleaners anymore judging by the lack of responses to my earlier inquiry as to the proficiency of the new style Kreepy. Which robot do you guy's prefer.

Thanks, I will probably just bite the bullet and get the new style Kreepy off Amazon.

Is anybody out there?

Hello, as the title reads, can I have any suggestions or ratings of poolcleaner to replace my 10 year old creepy. It seems they do not make these anymore, has anyone tried the new kreepy, Amazon has mixed reviews. It is cheaper than the old Kreepy and the cost of fixing up my old Kreepy just...

I have a 30 gallon resevior under a shade tree with about 10-15 gallons at a time in it. Never have had a reason or noticed a need to bury it, it seems to be fine for the last couple years I have been doing it this way.Burying it may be abit overkill as it is easy to fill and clean out above...

I just had 2 motors looked at locally by a place called Hemco. One was repairable and one was not and needed new windings on the rotor. I would take the motor to a repair company and let them bench test the motor and give you an estimate first before fixing or replacing. They will usually do...

Thanks for replying, you are probably right about the size and saving on electrical bill. I guess I will see if Amazon has a good deal tomorrow and if not just rebuild the wet end of my old super pump 2 2.0 hp., but really want the variable speed pump to save on electrical and just waiting for...

I am thinking of getting this one, what do you guys think https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-SP3202VSP-1-85-Variable-Speed-TriStar/dp/B014POPMTK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 or do you think I should go with the bigger 2.7 one that is more expensive?

Yeah. you are probably right about the chlorine injection point. I imagine I might have brought this leak on myself, no Hayward bashing here. I might just have to go with a variable speed Hayward for ease of install, unless anyone else has any input. Thanks and I would never have a professional...

I have relocated my injection point for chlorine to after the equipment, and just broke down and went with a Stenner pump after all. Tired of playing around with different pumps from Amazon. So now am very pleased so far with this little pump, very accurate and no maintenance so far. I now want...

Checked my temp on the Stenner pump last night after a one hour run and it was 135 degrees on the motor and 90 degrees at the actual tube. The ambient temp was 82 degrees, so will this be in proper range for the longevity of the pump? It seems a little warm to me, but then again I am not the...

Thanks for the reply,and I have a tree over the pump and equipment and run only at night, so I hope that helps. I think tonight when it turns on I might put my infrared thermometer on it and check temps and post here if anyone is interested.

I just recently stepped up and quit playing around with 13 dollar Amazon pumps and purchased a Stennar. I bought a 45 Mphp10 and so far I have been very pleased, quiet and repeatable. The question that I want to ask is should these pumps run warm? After running one hour last night, I put my hand...

Upon further questioning and research it seems that it is a TAC system. It is salt free and does not remove calcium so sounds like it would be O.K. for a pool. has anyone had any experience with these systems? I seems alittle expensive anyhow. Is it worth it, just wondering what you people...

It sounds like a glorified filtering system that somehow softens your water without salt. I really like my RO water but if this system is any good without detriment to the pool, I think I would rather have good "bottled quality" water throughout my house.Rather than pay for RO system filters and...

I I will have to check with the customer service if any citric acid is involved like this system, and also what the final Ph coming out of tap would be. Also what, if any, calcium change there may be. Thanks, I was just wondering if anyone has used this particular system for their house, and...

Has anyone heard or used this water system? Just curious as the osmosis is in need of new filters again and am thinking about redirecting my money here. I just wonder if it will adversely affect the pool water fillups and water changes. I have heard that regular soft water should never be used...

Thanks Tealdo24, I have already tried a homemade chlorinator, which was very unreliable and could not dose precisely enough for me. Purchased and tried an L.M.I. pump locally for cheap off of craigslist but would back flow through pump or empty whole tank of chlorine randomly. Which wasn't good...

So it turns out I have dodged a bullet, I got the pump primed back up and running but I fear I will need a new pump in the near future so if any of you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Also I plumbed my 13 dollar Amazon pump to a Stenner injector...

Thanks for the reply. I just thought putting straight chlorine before the filter might super chlorinate filter so it would perform better. Any other thoughts on pumps anyone, or are you gonna force me to do my own research?

Thanks, that is what I suspect happened. Is it better to install the injector right after the pump as I have it, or further down stream maybe after the heater. This might have less problems maybe pressure would be less there, and not as likely to overpower pump and lines ?

I have a Hayward 2 hp super pump 2 and last evening it stopped working so will need to replace after only 2 years of use. I have 2 questions, what pump do you guys recommend, preferably a direct fit and variable or 2speed pump. and also I have a homemade peristaltic 13 dollar pump that pumps...

I did the overnight test last night and had 12.6 fc and dropped to 12.0 this morning. Do you guys think I need to do a slam ? And if so I should probably lower my CYA's in a couple days after I get a stable reading of them.

Thanks but I fear it has dissolved already based on my reading of 100 CYA and before I was running at 50. And I added using granules in a sock placed in front of a skimmer with pump running for 3 days.
