    Lion Grills

    Anyone here put in a Lion grill? I'm looking specifically at the L75000 unit. It looks great value for a decent quality grill so wondering if anyone has any feedback on it? It's 304-16 gauge SS, cast stainless burners (4@15K BTU + 15K rotisserie) and has a griddle plate option which is very...

    PMs

    Has anyone else noticed something a little funny going on with the PMs in the new forum? It appears to have imported a mixture of sent and received PMs into my inbox (not really a big deal, just a little confusing tbh). Also, in the old forum there was an outbox where messages sat until they...

    Wolverine WIOS SPEAKERS

    Got these as a Christmas gift from the in laws. Anyone else got experience of these? First impressions are that they are remarkably good given their price point. Had no issues setting them up and looks like they might fit the bill quite nicely for a couple of seasons before I get round to...

    Newbie salt (dumb) question on cell % and run time

    Hey! My pool build got finished up about 6 weeks ago and we added salt about 10 days ago. Since then I've been struggling to keep my FC < 8. I note there is general advice about tweaking the cell and the pump time but is there a good rule of thumb about where to start? My cell is currently...

    Prologic PS8/Aquapod and heater qn

    Okay, this is probably a dumb question... Bit of background first: My pumps are set to a schedule, 8 hours on high, 11 hours on low, 5 hours off. I will probably adjust these run times soon but the important point I guess is that they are off for a period overnight. I have a Prologic PS8 and...

    Another pint please

    Anyone else read this blog? I quite enjoy reading it and it has some decent recipes appear on it. Obviously it talks about beer too which can only be a positive thing IMO! :cheers: If you haven't heard of it I think it's worth checking out. I always enjoy flicking through it

    Outdoor kitchen location opinions

    So, we're building our pool at the moment. I don't have the spare funds this year for the outdoor kitchen that I wanted but I do aim to put it in next year. My issue is that I'm unsure where to put it and need to make a decision now so I can get water/gas run to it and get a drain put in as I'm...

    New build, Houston (Cypress), Tx

    Hi! I posted a thread about the layout but we're all signed now and ready to move forward so I thought I'd start a build thread. Here's the layout. Couple of minor changes from the below like we're going to outline all of the decking with flagstone to make it really pop but it's essentially...

    Pool and water softener...

    I'm getting an IG pool put in (SWCG). Dig is imminent (waiting on HOA approval). I have a water softener which is not on a loop. All of my outside taps are on the softener (I'll be honest I wasn't actually aware of this until today). I've read conflucting issues that its not great to fill a...

    Depth question - diving but no diving board...

    I have my quotes in and have decided on a builder and am about to pull the trigger but am having a last minute panic about depth. Below is the layout of the pool, deep end is on the left. Pool is approx. 38'x24' freeform and approx. 25,000 gallons (probably just under). Depth is 3.5' to 7' at...

    Thoughts on layout...

    Hey all, been lurking for a while taking in all the great advice on the forum. We're in Cypress (Houston), Tx and looking to put an IGP in!! :party: We don't use our yard at the moment as it's just too hot to not be in water out there during the summer. We've done a lot of thinking and have...
