    [Alexa] iAqualink Skill- is it working for you?

    It is broken again as of trying it today. The Flurida contacts haven't replied to me today, but probably because it's the weekend.

    [Alexa] iAqualink Skill- is it working for you?

    Right now, the Skill remains broken. It worked for about a week in March. Fluidra is aware.

    [Alexa] iAqualink Skill- is it working for you?

    I've been in contact with Flurida for about 6 months. They had it working for 9 days in March, but it's down again.

    Front Load Washer recommendations?

    I just replaced a 16 year old Samsung that never had a problem (until the rubber seal on the door got bad after 16 years) with another Samsung. I had a Speedqueen prior to the 1st Samsung.

    Throwing my hands up.

    I had 2 Dolphin M300i's over 5 years. I'm back to a new 280 + new booster. If you want to just leave it and forget it and it last a long time, the robots have a long way to go...

    Temporary pad shelters

    Not a real good shot, but here is mine live from the camera I have pointed at it... It's 6' Cedar board on board fenced area (built this year) that matches our 8' Cedar board on board fence on the back of the house. When it's real cold, at the suggestion of some here, I have a black tarp that...

    Polaris Alpha IQ+ robot first impressions

    I had 2 i300s that each lasted less than 3 years. Hope your luck is better. I'm back to a Polaris 280.

    Electrical Heat Tape for Pool Pad Pipes/Valves?

    Great advice... I've ordered a tarp and hooks to mount for future use.

    Electrical Heat Tape for Pool Pad Pipes/Valves?

    Absolutely agree 100% and appreciate everyone's thoughts. So glad we still have electricity (we have a generator too for backup for the house after 2021) so hopefully keep the pumps continuing to run 1 more night.

    Electrical Heat Tape for Pool Pad Pipes/Valves?

    Keeping the water going is absolutely the first and best defense and what we've been doing this week and in years past... however, a lightbulb in a 6'x13' area with only a 6' fence around it, isn't going to do very much heat wise and if it did, could it also not override the freeze protection...

    Electrical Heat Tape for Pool Pad Pipes/Valves?

    There may be some very obvious reason not to do this, but many versions of heat tape are made for PVC pipe. Is there in reason, in areas such as Dallas, where we never winterize pools, not to install heat tape on the exposed PVC in your pool equipment pad? Such as: Amazon.com This seems a...
