Looks promising and would be helpful in my particular case.... thanks in advance (other recommendations welcomed too)

Thank you both, makes sense and I will plan ahead for the bigger SWG and electrical work that will go along with it.

Hello TFP world. You all were so helpful to me in my first year of home ownership learning the basics and helping me to choose a heater in year two. In year three I depended upon a “pool company” to recommend a SWG and man have they been the opposite of helpful to me at every turn. They...

Richard, thank you.

Fire and foremost - the TFP forum has been so helpful to me since buying my home last year with my first pool that I am considering changing my username to something that more accurately reflects my transformation from "clueless" to "almost have a basic idea of what I am doing". With that said...

Thank you. On to searching for robots now.... Really appreciate all the help on this, unfortunately it sounds like Desjoyaux Pools are a big, big headache.

Hello All - thanks again. I do have a Hayward sand filter and an above ground pump/motor. I just recently installed a tropical sq120r as well which made me realize how ineffective my skimmer/drain in close proximity to my return is (heated water gets sucked right back into the drain). I have...

I will - I will follow any lead. I don’t want to get my hopes up too high because this pool is 30 years old and the video says D-Aux just started in the USA recently but hey, you never know! I will let you guys know what I find out.

Jim R and James W - I was very reluctant to make my last post and sound like a petulant child but I am at my wits end and tired after 2 weeks of google searches and google image searches. THANK YOU for taking the time to reply I appreciate it! I must admit the Desjoyaux set up looks very...

As someone dealing with high CYA (140) and a stubborn “pool guy” Who reassured me that a CYA of 140ppm is fine I think I’ll just stop using Trichlor and go with bleach all summer. I bought two packets of the Bio-Active and I’m not scared to use them. I was even prepared to drop my Chlorine down...

Am I not asking the right questions or providing the right information to receive help?

More pictures of the plastic tube the fabric basket sits in

Adding a couple of more reasons for trying to figure this all out: (1) I would like to know if I can use my own manual vacuum or robovac to clean the pool (the pool service company brings their own hand held pump to use) and (2) the fabric baskets (socks?) inside the skimmer always float up... I...

Does anyone have any experience (for better or for worse) with this similar set up? I will get more interior pictures tomorrow but aside from what you can see in the pictures we have dual side by side skimmer cloth-baskets. These baskets are very long (maybe 3 feet). I don’t have a main drain...

Thank you again for all your feedback. We made it through the summer safe and sound and I will be starting from scratch with fresh water next year.

Thank you for the quick replies and information. Is addressing the high CA only possible by refilling with fresh water?
