    Glacier Pool chillers

    For that price... Can you (or want to) mount some passive solar panels on your house? I live in Austin and for the last month I have been using my solar system to cool my pool between 4am - 7am. I have been able to keep the temp @ 4pm around 86 degrees. Currently, I have my solar set at 82...

    Redneck Pool Heater

    I can see this..."Honey, can you turn down the temp on the grill, the shower is getting a bit warm..." Neat concept. Where there is a will, there's a way.

    Remote pool thermometer

    Here are some: http://www.brookstone.com/sl/product/67 ... ystem.html http://www.nu-temp.com/601.htm (I have this one, the temp probe was DOA. They are sending me a new temp probe. This one has a 100' range but it almost needs a direct line of sight. I had to mount the transmitter at the end...

    Pool Alarms

    I tried the pool gaurd but returned it when the in house part of the alarm didn't work. Be advised that you need to drill into your coping. I made a mounting block out of wood which allowed me not to drill into my deck. (Which I refused to do) I purchased a Pool Patrol which floats. It's far...

    Automatic Chlorinators Suggestions

    I can't tell you the complete operating costs yet... but by March of next year I will have one year of usage. I am keeping a detail log which I track as much as I can to include usage and prices. I just hooked up the Liquidator on 2/9/08. So far I have used 12.53 gal of Bleach via the Liquidator...

    SWCG vs. Liquidator

    Manual shocking... If all things are equal... shocking is greatly reduced with the use of the Liquidator. Since I started my pool last year (BBB from the beginning) I have yet <knocking> had the need to shock. We use the pool almost daily, 2 kids and 2 adults... Weekends... many more kids...

    SWCG vs. Liquidator

    I made a cover a few weeks back for mine, for it does get the morning sun. I noticed with my unit that the vinyl output hose has clouded up with the exposure to the chlorine and the check valve was not working correctly. I am in the process of replacing a few items. See this thread for more...

    SWCG vs. Liquidator

    Silly questions.... 1) Is it possible to use 12% (Liquid Shock as my local pool store calls it) in my Liquidator? 2) If yes... How do I compare the costs between the 12% and 6%? I am thinking that I should break down the cost down to the ounce since the containers are different sizes. Since the...

    pool heaters for central texans

    Good morning, I am in Austin and as fate has it our solar panels will be installed today. After researching the various options, I went with the passive solar collectors. As you mentioned, I wanted to be able to cool the pool during the hot summer months and extend the swim season by a few...

    New to Solar Covers... Need your advice

    Next question... :) Is there a solar cover which I can use to reflect the sun/heat during the warm (ok..hot) Texas summers? I don't want to end up heating the pool to boiling... ;)

    New to Solar Covers... Need your advice

    I am researching solar covers for my free form IG gunite pool which is under construction. The hole has just been dug. I didn’t want to install a retractable system for I didn’t have any funds left. One main wall consists of a rock wall which goes just below the water line. This really...
