Isn't this the same stuff you buy at pool supply stores to add to your pool fiter to activate it? It's like 25 lbs for $30.00.

It is not the same - but it is similar. Just ensure you buy food grade product.

NO! "Food grade diatomaceous earth can be consumed and used by humans. Food grade diatomaceous earth is heavily regulated and must contain less than a certain amount of specific minerals. Pool grade DE is calcinated and is a stronger, more potent form of DE. It is not to be used by humans and pool grade DE must be handled with gloves and a mask to ensure no throat irritations occur". I use the food grade DE in my home and garden - pool grade DE is considered carcinogenic when airborne.

I don't know. You might want to go to this pool forum, create an account for yourself and pose the question there. Lot of good info.http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/index.php?s=ee2d2100b4cb9a81ff1ca5823d1d8deb

You need to buy the salt and sand. Home Depot, walmart, pool stores have it for sale...

Mine is still running however, every spring it costs me $200-300 in parts to keep it running. They have made it so consumers cannot open it up like the old ones and easily swap out parts. This puts me in the position of having to trust Leslies staff to not oversell me parts I don't need. There has to be a better pool cleaner out there but am not sure what it would be...

I don't have a link but I'm sure if you google it, many will come up. All pool supply companies will have them. Should be $40-60.00 range. I used to have one of those 20.00 siphon pumps... huge mistake and the plastic on the hand pump breaks down quickly. You will have to pay attention to the pump as it doesn't shut off automatically when the water is all gone unless you spend alot of money for an upgraded version. I have had mine for years... worth the investment!

I'm not sure but highly recommend Amazon and this product It's already doing great job on our pool. Our local pool supply retail establishment was 40% higher in costs.

Usually it is cheaper, but the price might have gone up temporarily because they were running low on stock. They are actually the same package, but the one sold by Amazon is "frustration free" because they are able to inspect the packaging to determine if it meets their standard for easy opening. Even though it is the same package, they can't vouch for what is being sold by 3rd parties.

Yes! Best deal ever. They fit perfectly. I was paying more than this just for 1 at the local pool supply store.

Check Ebay. MyFilterHouse sells the same thing there for $5.30 and free shipping.

Yes, it lacks an adaptor to fit to a smaller pool pump (such a as a 1,000 gal pool sized pump). Very annoying that they cannot include a simple $0.50 part. They charge $20 for it as a replacement part.

Absolutely not! This float was junk. I purchased it last year for my pool. It did not even last the season. The mesh tore almost immediately. Plus, it was $50.00. Total rip off.

You got that right. I don't know what they heck they are trying to pull here. Last time I bought it I think I paid about $10.93 for 4x10oz. Now $22+!!!! Outrageous!

Yes, I needed one extra piece for mine and got it at Leslie's Pool Supply. Any pool supply store should have it.

You can typically get the weight bolts from your local pool hall. Most of them do repairs and have them available, and they can install them for you. Billiard supply sources locally, or online can get you kits to make the changes yourself as well. It just takes a phillips screwdriver.

I'm sorry for my last answer. My response was for another item I just purchased. I would contact the seller because I have a cement pool.

we buy 50lbs of pool salt from walmart about $6. I guess it is like epson salt.
