    Am I being unreasonable... Pics inside

    Thanks for all the replies. Without being home at the moment, there has to be about 20 anchors (or drilling) that have damaged the concrete in this manner. It is really disappointing, as I probably would not have gotten the safety cover if this was going to happen. I am hoping collars will be...

    Am I being unreasonable... Pics inside

    Well it was time to close the pool for the first time. When we purchased and had the pool installed in April this year, we also purchased a safety cover as we have a little one on the way and two dogs. My pool company has come by to install it yesterday and there are chunks of concrete missing...

    Where to aim returns in pool?

    Thanks for your advice! I will start by moving the top left jet like you mentioned and slightly pointing the bottom right jet downwards in the deep end. This will give me a good starting point. :cheers:

    High Chlorine level, help!!

    Reebok, I am using the N2 cartridge due to it being my first year with the salt system and there is no way to cap off the vessel without it being in place. I do not plan on replacing it when it is required, so I will just leave the original mineral cartridge in place for the life of my SWG...

    Solar blankets

    What is the longest you can leave your solar blanket on before it effects the water? My pool company that I purchased the solar blanket from told me to leave it on for no more than two days max at a time. Is this correct?

    Re: zodiac duoclear preferred water chemistry readings Sorry, I missed the first link but I have read the others. :hammer: I think it is just a gimmick as well. I have no idea what importance the mineral cartridge has to the cell to give me a lifetime warranty on it. It does not make any...

    Why do you say not to use the mineral cartridge

    Hi there! Just a quick question for Waterbear? Why do you say not to use the mineral cartridge? I ask as I get a lifetime cell warranty if I replace this cartridge at the beginning of every season. If I were not to use the mineral cartridge, what would I put in its place? I hope this is...
