Hi everyone,
I’ve been seeing several different programs for maintaining pools
available on the internet. Pool Professor is one that comes to mind.

noisy. Has anyone ran into any […]

Our Letro Legend cleaner has just about quit working. It just sits there most
of the time. Sometimes if I shut off both pumps, then cut them back on, it will
run around the pool a little, but too soon it’s just sitting again. Is there

Thanks,
Harry

pool at Wal-mart yesterday - 18′x48″ - I am currently filling it with

We have been comparison […]
