Hi Folks! I hate to think about it but I’m afraid that it’s getting to be
about time to get the pool ready for winter, at least here in Central
Illinois USA!
I know that a few of you have gotten solar panels this year and I’d like to
tell you about the experience I’ve […]

Oh no! A wind blew over the table with a glass top and it shattered and
some got into the AG pool. My 11 year old nephew did his best to get it all

anyone?
Thanks

I think I found a way to cool off our IG pool. Temperatures here
(Memphis) have been around 100 and the water temp is about 90. Needless

several attachments called Thrusters that are positioned in the suction
line and intermittently change the Kreepy Krauly’s direction to keep it
random.
The problem is, they cost $80 and don’t really work that well. Does
anybody know of an alternative or some […]

Guys,
I would like to close my pool up at the end of July this year - I
normaly keep it open until September. Are there any special
considerations regarding closing up the pool early during the warmer

temperature at about 78′F.
Thanks
Andrew

Hello Group,
I have an in ground pool that I use a kreepy krauley in. I have gone
through 2 thrusters in the last several years. The old ones had
adjustable periods and the newer ones do not, but neither seemed to
work very long or very well.
I like the kreepy krauley, but does anyone have any suggestions about
an […]

Hello,
Thanks for letting me join this group. I have a question. I have a
timer that is rated 15 amp and my 1h pump is rated 12.5 amp so think
it’s safe to use this outdoor timer along with the 1h motor but is it
best to let the pool pump motor run 24/7 all the time or […]
