2.5 years ago I purchased a solar cover "plastic bubles - blue top, gray bottom". Now it is braking up at the edges and time to replace. I got mine with the rollers off ebay for $450. Is this a normal life expectancy? What do you think where to get one that will have a long life? Thanks

According to the pool math calculator today I added 1650 g of dry stabiliser, impatiently, although the package says to ensure that the pH level is between 7.2 and 7.6. I plan to wait for a week before I start adding the rest of the chemicals suggested as per the calculator one at a time...

Hi I got the pool water tested by a local reputable pool shop, they gave me the print out attached and sold me 2 Kg buffer to raise the very low TA which I did, but did not have salt so I purchased some salt with clarifier from bunnings (local hardware mega store in Sydney). I added the 2 Kg...

Thinking to spend AU$3000+ to buy it and would love to hear from other owners as to how does it behave when it encounters stairs? Would it be possible to find a robotic cleaner that once it finds stairs, it climb and then moves along the same step to clean it before it moves to the next one up...

Hi I turned up the chlorination to max 8 for 10hr day for the last 3 days trying to get rid of this algae like I successfully did the last time it happened few months ago. But the algae is the same or little more. How can that be with such high level of FC? The pool is covered most of the time...

Hi The Clear Choise Lab kit booklet has two pages to test the CH level. One page if CH is expected to be >100 ppm and the other page if TA is expected to be <100 ppm. Well, I am expecting both as the PoolMath logs show. So which would be a better choice? I just sprinkled 1K and will need to buy...

Reading many pool heater installation indicat to install the heater before the clorinator. Any reason why this is the case vs. installing it after the clorinator?
