    Stenner Pump - Tank Question

    I understand about the off-gassing but it so hard to find the stuff in Houston, I often wonder the actual strength of the stuff I was getting ripped off for at Lowes. Gonna try this and see what happens.

    Stenner Pump - Tank Question

    My liquidator works ok, but I am not enamored with the quality of it. I too am trying to put together a dosing system. I have a BubbleMagus BM-T01 pump with three heads which hopefully will do the trick. With the help of another guy in Houston, I was able to get 25 gallons of really good...

    All covered up, Sargent, Texas (pics)

    It was painful but we got her all covered up now. I used 4 huge tractor tire tubes I bought on Ebay, I think they will have no problem holding air all winter. There is a rope that strings them all together spaced evenly down the center line of the pool (attaches to a recessed tie down on the...

    Review of my Pool Rover Jr.-BIG thumbs up.

    I have a 30 x 15 AGP, oval in shape which is at a weekend home, and nobody takes care of the pool during the week. I leave the pool each Sunday with a mesh cover over it but that doesn't mean small stuff doesn't still get through and fall to the bottom. My routine when we get there on Friday...

    To close to not to close-weekend home in southeast Texas

    Makes sense, now I know why you were confused!!! The city of West, TX has a FAMOUS Kolache place just off the highway. If you make it that way you should stop by....I promise you will not be disappointed.

    To close to not to close-weekend home in southeast Texas

    Do you have a link to such a switch? does it have a timer on it as well as a thermostat switch? I guess what i'm asking is would it take the place of my current timer? I can install myself...I did the rest of it so this shouldnt be that difficult. And during this time period, would I turn...

    drain in the center of an above ground cover..

    Trying to think of ways to deal with the water that may collect in the winter cover of my 15 x 30 AGP. does anyone thing that putting a hole in the center, attaching a hose to the hole somehow and running the hose over the edge of the pool would work?

    Pool rover Jr mod question...

    I have a Pool Rover Jr which I absolutely love. I think for the deal you can get on one on line, they are hard to beat. My question is, has anyone ever retrofitted one with a set of brushes somehow? I am trying to think of a way to add a brush on the front and rear.

    Mosquitoes

    x 1000 Myself and all of my neighbors spray and you wont see a single skeeter, ant, roach, nada! You will need to spray no more than a 1/2oz per gallon (I'm actually spraying less than that now) and spray EVERYTHING except for flowering plants and things you intend to eat. Spray half way up...

    Installed liquidator...several issues/questions.

    After talking to the fellow at liquidator and finally getting to a point where I now have the liquidator above the level of my pool, and no check valves it seems to be working...I think.

    Wedding cake stairs but not in love with them. *PIC*

    Below is a picture of my wedding cake stairs. The are in stalled properly and look great but I am not all that happy with them. They are pretty wobbly and generally unstable feeling which causes the screws that hold them in to constantly come loose. Does anyone have a better set of stairs...
