Great review and Thanks for posting! I'm South of HTown and agree with you-summer swimming in 90F is too hot. I've been considering the Glacier for a few years now!! I think it's by far the most efficient/cost effective option. Also impressed how they worked it into that tight space.

An interesting article on SWG pools and deck sealers. Silane & siloxane based sealers seem to prevail...

PB is taking care of me!! Glad I called-Thanks

Thanks Patrick, but it's 3+ years. No help from Pentair as an individual. But you gave me an idea to contact the PB on his connections.

My Pentair Easy Touch remote took-on “moisture”. At a unit cost of $400-$600 I’m contemplating repair over replacement (motherboard,display, etc..). Anyone have ideas on where to send?

For the occasional winter /spring swim, NG has my vote. Here's a good reference post I made awhile back http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/56419-First-Time-Heating-Pool-%E2%80%93Gas-Cost?highlight=heating

Very interesting! Thanks for posting - - - Updated - - - So, I'm guessing wind would cause it to accumulate in one section, leaving a large majority "film-free"?

Would love to use the cover. I'm guessing it would save about 20-30% (neighbor loves his cover). But, our water-loving Labrador just wont allow it. I can imagine the mess he'd cause with it. I'm with you 100% on NG!! Keep us fracking brother!!!

Well, I wanted to update my heating experience for Spring 2014. This spring was certainly a bit colder; I raised my set-point, added a few days (9 days total) and set-it and forget it rather than the off/on (heater ran the whole time). Spring-Break (March 7~16); average outside temp-50F...

Yes indeed! Current pool temp is 68. In 2 weeks it'll be 89 (for at least 7 days) :cool:

Yes sir, my thoughts exactly! $7K is way too high. I had the same issue with the drain line for my ODK. Have your utility lines mapped/marked and sub out the dig-labor; Craigslist. $2000 seems reasonable.

Hola! Very unique design-well done! I also have interest in the Pentair-automation side, but have done little research. I do know that this is the starting point component ~...

At 17, I taught swim lessons to kids 3~10 at a local day-care. I conquer 100% "drowning especially with kids is quiet and does not look like drowning". It took seconds for one of them to slip-in as my back was turned and literally freeze-up and sit/lay under the surface (back in the day, it was...

Thanks. I would if I could justify it. But, our area is warm (and humid :( ) most of the year. We mainly use the hot-tub during the colder months and will probably only heat the whole pool for an early spring dip; I'm guessing my heating cost will be a max of $400/year (Dont think that...

I wanted to share my first experience with heating our pool. I was very reluctant :| , but here’s the detail: 25K gallon (non-swg) IG-Plaster (Diamond-Brite) 5 days over Spring-Break (March 10~15); average outside mean temp-54F Starting pool temp- 56F Pentair Heater (400,000 BTU Master Temp...
