Hi,
Just joined yesterday. Live in South West Fl. Have a salt water pool with a spa, both heated.
the pool system uses all Pentair parts, except for the check valves which are Magic. I do have
a pool guy come every week still take care of my pool though. The pool is just 1 year old
an inground gunite pool with about 12k gallons.

The pool guy does an ok job. I still test the water, clean the filters and intellicholor equipment.

Hiya Poolman, welcome to TFP.

Do yourself a favor and kick the pool guy to the curb. You can do it all yourself and save some good money in the process.

I think you right. We have planned to kick him out end of this month. To put it mildly he is kind of
useless. Bad thing if we go away for a couple weeks on vaca we need to hire someone.

Is your pool in a bird cage? Do you ever cover it? If you can cover it and let the SWG run a few hours a day you can leave on vacay without too much worry.
