Thank you both for the replies..Wanted to confirm how best to get it off. I just resealed the all the rest, and am waiting for delivery on the #4 o-ring. But.. now to get a strap wrench... I was thinking I could use one of my long metal wood clamps... might try it first. I'll look for...

Hello all, I have a circa 2006 Pentair Tagelus TA100D. I can see water coming out between the tank and the first plastic insert, so figuring the o-ring needs replacement. (See blow-out diagram) It's leaking between part 3 and the tank... so I want to replace the o-ring part 4. Question...

I got a wrinkle like that.. my pool builder said it was the ground water pushing it up from the enormous amount of rain we had at the time. When I get my light niches replaced I'll try to get them out when the water level is down.

As I think noted here.... you must must must cover it with a UV absorbing cover when its on the reel. It degrades so quickly if you don't. I have Sun2Solar... got clear (yes, it gets dirty.. oh well), got the 1200 Series. It last 4 years. It has a warranty and a portion of money back...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can recommend a free/cheap'ish software (I'll pay some if it's worth it) that i can use to design 2D drawings of my pool hydraulics and electrical. I'm looking to map what I have, and use it to map what i want to do with new automation... etc. and just get organized...

I've tried a couple low budget solutions. Failed miserably. I have to span about 23', by about 37', so ended up spending the money and got a Rocky Reel with the heavy duty commercial 4" tubing. I'm into my second season, and it's like new, and doesn't bend AT ALL. Loving it. Residential...

Also, for what it's worth.... I have an undersized heat pump for my size pool from the previous owners, and the pool cover completely saves me DAYS of time reheating the pool to where the wife and kids really love the water, and as mentioned above, it's because of those random really cool days...

I tried these for cover sizes (2 sections for my also weird shaped L pool), and these things really didn't last... I got one season out of them. Let me know if you want to discuss the problems I had directly.

In my area, they are in full fledged nesting mode... I don't have the thing sounding off at night... by morning, dang things are all over my trees. So in the morning I put it to "random short interval" mode... usually by 10am they are all gone and that incessant noise gets quiet. We can't...

Good luck @DiverGirl1972 ! I was skeptical too... as this thing at first had bad reviews.... because their version 1 didn't account for grackles. But their version 2 is specifically for grackles and other black birds, and it has worked like a champ for me. Their instructions do say it can...

I've had the grackle issue last 3 years.... but this year.... this year is different. The Grackles show up every year and start to holler in my everygreen trees all around my pool, and I'd see them dive bomb the poop into my pool constantly, or leaving the poop sacks all along the edges...

Oh heck yea... Love Home Assistant.

Just got 15 seasons out of the first one. Could've likely stretched it out further with some of that Gorilla Waterproof patch and seal tape.. lol.

I have a fairly large odd L shaped pool with a weird angled bottom at the deep end. Using the Merlin AquaMax (Better UV and Chemical resistance). They mostly only make 20mil in Aquamax... but they do make one AquaMax 27mil, and that looks really good for what I want, so am going with that...

Got my rebate back from Maytronics already. Very pleased with how fast that was, compared to the months it can take other companies.

I THIS!!!!! I was just going to post this and I went back a few days to make sure no one had yet.... then the LAST POST i see... BAM! Love it... I just purchased two of the gift cards... and got the $60 gift card free. They have the liquid chlorine at $2.99 all year (at least all...

I suppose I was trying to show some respect to Marina. If you've ever heard of the MAP price.... they advertise the MAP price on their website.. but then can offer us over the phone a lower price, with out getting in trouble from Maytronics. It's funny how they put the MAP pricing on the...

Thanks... I can't wait to see what it can do.... Not opening until the week of the 20th... hoping the Grackles will have nested far far away by then and not dive bomb my pool with their babies poop sacks... for those that don't know about it.. look it up and be horrified. But... even if they...

Yep, been waiting for May 1st for awhile. Just pulled the trigger on the M500. Great price from Marina Pool & Spa, and will get the $75 rebate. Last year it was apparently $125, but I'll take what I can get!

You can stain concrete pavers... just search youtube for some examples.

I won't throw eggs, though I look forward to the update! Use the last unit of measurement, and remember the % value of bleach I put in last time, as an example. Love the app... it's part of my daily ritual. Thank you so much for the continued effort.

Re: New Pool - Cloudy Water After reading the entire thread... sure sounds like what I had. The "dust" in the sand settled and needed to be carefully vacuumed out to waste. If you jump in.... can you feel it? Gritty like sand?? or just feel nothing? (I felt nothing) Anyhow, worth a try...

Wow.. that is great price. Almost worth the drive!

We’ll be using the pool this weekend for sure! Need to have some cans of beer around..... and found this for my Father’s Day beverage. It’s a Belgian Wheat with Cherry Also will grill up some NY Strips with fresh NJ Veggies from the local farm stands.

Now that I am remembering... I think it's the nuts the bolts go into.... that attach the legs of the base to the pole. Maybe I'll silicon caulk the area and see if I can keep water from getting in there. Really don't want rust stains everywhere

Today was the first time I had them up in some fairly good wind. They blew around and swayed... but there is a tiedown on the edge nearest the pole. I wasn't nervous letting em blow around.... they certainly weren't going to blow over with all that sand in the base... the pole was rock solid...

We ended up buying FOUR?!?! of these Hampton Bay 11ft Cantilever Umbrellas on sale at Home Depot for $230 each. Built in LED lighting with solar charger. We had to buy sand to fill the base with. $4 bag for like 6 40lb bags for each umbrella. Very sturdy and high quality from what I can...

So they have this electronic hot potato.... it zaps the person who's left holding it after the music ends.... I wonder if doing this in the pool makes the zap more zappy?!?! Now THAT could be fun..... Shocktato!
