    Intex SWG appears to be calling it quits.

    I have the older 2 button SWG and it's been working perfectly for a few seasons. Now the little guy will run for a bit then trip the breaker. It will trip after awhile even if it's not making chlorine. This type of thing always seems to happen when I'm going away for a few days. Just a bit...

    Opinions on this AG pool cover?

    Not that I want to close my pool yet but I've started looking for a new winter cover. Mine is old and has a tear in it. It also seems to have shrunk. So, I see the cover below that comes with a pillow, cable and shipping for $60. That sound too good to be decent? I've only bought one cover...

    Converting to BBB

    Hello, I'm on my first full day of bleaching the pool. 12 gallons of Wallyworld bleach so far, it was $2.20ish for 1.5 gallons of 6%. I stopped the Buaqacil in September, when I measured it today with my new K-1000 test kit it read 0 so hopefully it should be a quick conversion. The question I...

    Converting to BBB, winter closing questions

    Hello, I found this site from Poolforum, seems they are locked down to new users right now. Both sites have tons of useful info and have convinced me to get rid of Buaqacil and try the BBB method. My questions have to do with when to convert and closing the pool for winter. 1) can I wait...
