One more long pool weekend sounds pretty good right about now.

Cold drinks, warm water, something on the grill, and absolutely no reason to rush inside.

What is your Labor Day pool setup looking like?

Replacing an AquaStar Pipeline filter cartridge?

Match the cartridge to the filter model, not just the look. PLF27000 uses PF27CART. PLF35000 uses PF35CART.

The wrong cartridge can cause sealing issues, reduced flow, poor filtration, or tough reassembly.

Our guide covers fitment, cleaning vs replacement, and what to inspect while the filter is open.

Poolside lounger, outdoor kitchen bar, or a seat by the fire?

A great backyard should have more than one favorite spot.

Which seat are you claiming?

Choosing a Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat Electric heater?

The right model depends on more than patio size. You need to compare 2300W, 3400W and 4500W output, mounting height, voltage, controls, color, clearance and whether the space is covered or coastal.

Our new buyer’s guide breaks it down.

September is a transition month for pool owners.

Keep testing chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and stabilizer, empty the skimmer and pump baskets, stay ahead of debris, and watch filter pressure as leaves begin to fall.

A few simple checks now can keep the water clear, protect your equipment, and make fall maintenance much easier.

Save this checklist for your next pool day.

Choosing a SwimSense AquaColors 4-inch light?

Do not mix up the gunite and fiberglass versions. You also need the right control mode and cable length before ordering. Our guide explains the 4-inch AquaColors options and the fitment checks that matter.

Copper or NiTek HD on a Raypak AVIA?

The heat exchanger is a big part of the price difference. Copper is a strong value for properly maintained residential pools, while NiTek HD is the durability-focused upgrade with greater erosion resistance.

Neither option is chemistry-proof. Balanced water, correct flow, feeder placement, and winter protection still matter.

If your Pentair Racer is moving too slow, too fast, getting stuck, or spraying from the sweep hose, the issue may be adjustment, not a bad cleaner.

We broke down RPM checks, thrust jet direction, sweep hose tuning and pressure-side troubleshooting.

Late August is the perfect time for a quick pool reset before Labor Day weekend.

Recheck chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and stabilizer. Clean the baskets and filter, brush and vacuum, inspect the pump and seals, and stay ahead of falling debris.

A few small checks now can keep the water clear, protect your equipment, and make fall closing much easier.

Save this checklist for your next pool day.

Your pump can be running and returns can look strong, but your AquaCal SuperQuiet may still have the wrong water flow.

That is where Delta-T matters. It helps installers fine-tune flow instead of guessing with bypass valves or pump speed.

Our guide explains Delta-T, dirty filters, valve settings, pressure faults, variable-speed pumps, and the SQ140R/SQ200R 30–70 GPM range.
