    Dolphin E10

    I have to put in a recommendation in for the dolphin e10 and maytronics in general for above ground pools. I purchased a refurb from Dohenys back in March and finally went to use it after opening the pool. The power unit didnt work. I called in for a warranty claim and they sent a new one in 2...

    Robot Floor Cleaner for 24' above ground pools

    Winter Cover Suggestions

    I know it's early but I'm trying to put a budget together now to buy a new winter cover this year. I had to throw mine away this year as we had unusually high winds this winter and it got beat up pretty bad. Typically I close my pool in middle/late September (the kids are in school and sports...

    Hello and thanks!

    Hello everyone, just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone involved with this site. We've had a 24'x52" agp for 4 years now (had one at previous house for several years before that). I've always used trichlor tabs and other "essential" pool chemicals. It's worked fine until about the...
