Just got an estimate from a gas fitter as opposed to the regular pool company as I need 180 ft of underground gas pipe in addition to the heater. He is suggesting a 260,000btu Jandy jxi260n. Our pool is 21,000 gallon/76,000L and we live in Ontario, Canada. Please advise on if this is the...

Ok, thanks for the advice. So you are saying I don't just need a new cell but a whole new system? How do I determine what to purchase please?

This was what the pool Company recommended and sold me. Is the size of the cell based on the pool volume? I think we used it for 3 seasons and then it died so maybe that is normal? I test using a proper kit for everything except CYA because that kit was almost $200. So for that number I go...

When I am reading the most recent posts in the large 85 page thread and even other posts on cleaners, there seems to be a fair amount that are under warranty or even new and showing signs of failure. That is a red flag to me regarding longevity. Hopefully it’s a simply a bad batch. But I find...

I am waiting for Marina to call me back (has been a week but I understand that is normal for them) to get a recommendation for the most appropriate Dolphin robot for my IG kidney shaped vinyl-liner pool (19x33 ft 9 ft deep end). I currently only have a manual cleaner and am considering a robot...

We are too lazy to put on a solar cover after swimming. With our kidney shaped pool and living in the country, the pool is fenced in a kidney shape with no room for a reel so putting the cover on and off was just not happening. So we should invest in a new cartridge and switch back to SWG...

We have not been using our SWG for at least the past 2 years. My husband "did the math" and stated that we would need a new cartridge for $500 to get it operational. Does a SWG actually save money considering how quickly these seem to fail and need additional investment? Especially given time...

I am posting on this thread as it seems the most efficient. I am waiting for Marina to call me back (has been a week but I understand that is normal for them) to get a recommendation for the most appropriate Dolphin robot for my IG kidney shaped vinyl-liner pool (19x33 ft 9 ft deep end). I...

Hi I'm in Canada but live near the border so I can purchase a robot in the US and import into Canada if the pricing/selection is better. At my pool store, they only carry the Dolphin Encore $799 Can (which is perhaps too small for my 76000L kidney shaped pool that has a deep end ~9 ft deep...

Oh, and if this is still algae, would the 8x5L 5% chlorine be enough? Do I just keep retesting the FC every couple of hours to see where this is at? Do I want the shock level to be active until all algae is white and then go to the overnight test?

Ok, I will email the Commercial link but the Taylor K-2006C is $181.99. Does that sound reasonable? I live close to the border...if they sell a good kit at a pool store in NY state I could probably get it there or is this the price I'd pay. I have tried to change my signature to have more info.

Hi and thanks for all who post here and will hopefully generously help me. Opened our kidney shaped vinyl liner pool Sunday and added 9x5L jugs of household bleach (assuming this is around 5%), added 1L muriatic acid, am running sand filter 24/7, added the Trol and CYA I had at home. Have a...
