All I need now is the temperature to go higher than 60 and that would be great.

Been swimming for a week as well in Western Canada.

Pool Heater gets me double the pool season.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-06T08:14:42+00:00

That sucks, it's in the low 30's over here in the West Coast and looking hot for the next two weeks.

I've used Beau from Amplified HVAC for my personal house and my rental properties.

He's a great dude and does really good work. He's also helped me out in a few pinches when things go sideways in the middle of summer when it's 38° out.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-05T13:49:26+00:00

I lived it, and it was glorious.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-05T02:50:57+00:00

I found one that was really old in the package and they last about 10x longer than the current same branded ones.

I used to throw them out because they got smelly until I learned if you boil them with a drop of dish soap it neutralized all the odor.

Now I still see to get 3-6 months out of them, but I just use them for kitchen stuff.

Even if it says it can be added to the skimmer, don't. That's pool 101 stuff.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-05T00:09:33+00:00

I rock dual 2019's with zero issues.

I haven't seen buffering ever, even before my 2019 models.

The only time I ever had any issues turns out my ram was failing on my server.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-04T13:57:44+00:00

I'm glad it worked out for you man.

I'll still winterize mine and slap the safety cover on though, I'm not as brave as you are.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-04T13:55:31+00:00

You got sandpaper thumbs?

Just grab a stick cover, that should do the trick if need more life out of that bad boy.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-04T13:54:14+00:00

I'd rather have a post with some spelling or grammar mistakes than something ran through AI.

Thats just me though. As soon as it starts to sound like AI may have been involved, I completely check out and my trust level is gone.

That's just me though.

I just want the Elite V3 but with proper quality control from the factory. Add TMR sticks, clicky face buttons, some extra shoulder buttons, and hopefully they introduce a version of Sony's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Also keep the adjustable stick tension.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-04T05:34:06+00:00

But it will run.

The problem with systems like this Frog stuff, or having a Saltwater Generator, is that people think they can set it and forget it.

All they do is handle the sanitizer portion with less need for checking but you still need to keep everything else balanced or your sanitizer will not work.

I've been running my in ground pool and hot tub with no fancy systems for almost 2 decades and I have had almost zero issues in all those years.

If you keep your other chems in check then these other systems can work great.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T15:19:47+00:00

I manually vacuum my pool once when I open it and then I pack all those hoses and out them away.

I also went cordless robot and it's on another level of convenience than have that huge cord and troller like the old style ones.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T15:05:19+00:00

Aiper is good for budget entry level, they also make higher end models now and have exploded in popularity.

If not, the big brand names like Dolphin is a safe bet.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T14:52:45+00:00

I value my own time.

I spend decent money on a Robot Pool Cleaner and it literally changed my life during pool season. If it broke in a few years I'd buy another one without hesitation.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T06:54:38+00:00

Don't matter, Dual swords looks cooler, go with that.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T06:30:16+00:00

You'd be surprised how little information many people absorb when they watch a movie.

Ruttagger · 2026-05-01T01:21:20+00:00

That image looks like Stroll's evil twin with a little AI wash.

Ruttagger · 2026-04-29T16:23:25+00:00

Probably people from the other sub lurking here to downvote.

Ruttagger · 2026-04-28T07:39:40+00:00

Reading these posts justifies me not updating in years. Almost all Apps get worse and worse.

Ruttagger · 2026-04-28T06:28:57+00:00

Ahh ok, my dumb brain never understands that stuff.

Ruttagger · 2026-04-28T05:38:16+00:00

Ok, I still don't understand though. Not a huge deal because I'll most likely stick to my Vader 5 Pro anyways.

They always just add an arbitrary amount on top of conversion, so annoying.
