    Umbrellas - $79 to $1000+ ??

    I purchased two umbrellas two years ago from PatioUmbrellas.com with good success. The ones I chose were bronze colored aluminum by Coral Coast - 9 feet - They were $99 each and so far have held up pretty well. I especially liked the variety of colors that were offered and shipping was very...

    Recommendations or suggestions for an outdoor clock?

    I'm looking for a weatherproof medium sized clock that can be placed on our siding and easily read from the pool (maybe 10-20 feet away). I had purchased a clock from Target last year that was advertised as "outdoor" but it created a rust spot on the siding with the first rain. Thank you for...

    New Pool - Correlation btw salt and temp?

    Thanks for reply - have salt strips on order - I think you are right and now suspect the sensor on the meter. I have a green light this morning and having no problems generating Cl at 20% on the SWG. I've made no changes or added anything so it's good advice to get the salt strips and test...

    New Pool - Correlation btw salt and temp?

    We have a new pool with a swg. We started the swg about two weeks ago and everything was great (pool temp was around 72). Now, the meter (Intellichlor) is indicating low salt. I added 30lbs yesterday and in the afternoon got a nice green light again. This a.m., I have the orange "need salt"...
