    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    I made my choice on that comparison chart at discount salt pools. The Circupools unit had better reviews, made more chlorine/day, had a better warranty, and the salt cell was cheaper to replace than the IC40. And I liked how people here talked about their customer service being fast and...

    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    **Update** Ordered the RJ-45 from discount salt pool (using the $1 upgrade sale). Ours came missing an O ring but they were snappy fast to send out another set and we were good to go. I convinced the husband to do the plumbing. We went with a vertical install (had plenty of space so we...

    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    It really doesn't look that hard. I'm getting the bypass kit also. I actually went and crowd sourced someone who would do the install and one of the local pool companies contacted me to say they would do it. Truth be told - we've been dying to put in a kill switch for our pool cleaner...

    Let's not get carried away. They still won't install anything you don't buy from them.....

    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    So.... here's the deal. We are very luck to have pool stores into our area that get the TFP method. Last year I walked into one to get my first 1/2 season supply of liquid shock (they had a wicked sale going on) - and when the kid cashier looked at me - surprised I was buying so much - I...

    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    We actually run our VS pump 24/7. We know we don't have to - but energy is cheap here and quite honestly, we got lazy after that was installed (2017? 2018? The years are blending together) .. and never figured out how to use the auto timers to program the darn thing. (Shamefully) - we use...

    Making the Leap - CircuPool Edge 40 or Pentair IC-40

    We should have made the leap years ago and just put it off... now with liquid chlorine being a hot commodity going into the summer - it's past time to move to a SWG. Here's my issue. I want to go with the CircuPool Edge 40. My husband really does NOT want to DIY this. Honestly, we're fine...

    Liquidator as Tank for a Stenner pump?

    Wild and crazy thought - someone tell me if it will work. We have a liquidator that isn't installed. I've fallen in love with the idea of a Stenner pump. If I cap the inlet/outlet, could I use the tank from the liquidator as my Stenner tank? I know it's an expensive tank - but...

    A few things before installing the Liquidator

    So - small update: Hubby decided to build the Liquidator its own box. I was happy with the idea of just taping some reflective insulation to the thing, but he went the carpentry direction. Hoping to install something in the next week. We just opened a week ago and we're still trying to get...

    A few things before installing the Liquidator

    We're about 3-4 weeks from opening and we're finally prepping the Liquidator for installation. I know my pool size is right on the cusp of bigger pools for the Liquidator, but we've done the chlorine testing for the last 18 months (ish) and the numbers should work out. Push comes to shove -...

    Rainbow Chlorinator 320 - Installed wrong or too small for pool?

    So, I have this hunch and i'm hoping a pool expert can help. Let me start by saying, we pretty much follow BBB to the letter -- I only use our inline chlorinator at the beginning of the season to keep our pool in shock until it's clean and we're ready to officially open it/swim (and the...
