We love ours, we have both a chiminea and an outdoor fireplace and use both equally. Fireplace is nice for wider heating, but then you have to deal with the smoke, and smelling smokey. Chiminea is more for smaller crowds, and no smokey clothing. The trick that we have found is that you need...

I've posted a few times asking for help, figured I'd should share some photos. Pool is 4 years old, owner built/designed (we own a construction company), dark gray plaster, 60K gallons, SWG (which isn't working right now), native limestone, trying to survive this drought at the moment. Most...

I'm so weary of trying to keep this pool balanced! My hardness is through the roof, my SWG quit working (replaced cell this summer, still broken), can't hold chlorine, etc, etc. After doing some research today on water hardness, I believe all that I am dealing with is due to our unrelenting...

We're just coming off a horrible pool week and I've spent an inordinate amount of time in these forums, solving problems, so first of all THANK YOU for the invaluable advice I've received here and in Pool School. Water is finally clearing and things are mostly under control, so now I'm just...
