    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Interesting. My EVO 614 should be here by Wednesday at the latest, but could possibly arrive as soon as tomorrow depending on FedEx 🤦‍♀️--but fingers crossed for early delivery! I haven't vacuumed in almost a week since I knew the robot was coming, so I'll definitely watch out for this and...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Thank you for the detailed info! If you don't mind weighing it I would certainly appreciate the info. I tried looking for it online but found conflicting info, shipping weight and not actually the weight of the robot, etc.

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Jim, many thanks to you and others who contributed to this thread!! Your review was exactly the detail I was hoping to find. The only thing I find concerning is the possible lack of DIY repair...but I understand why that isn't known yet. I talked to Margaret earlier today and the 614 is what...

    Apologies! Another pool cleaner robot thread! (Cordless, or...)

    Hi Jim, For the robots that stay in the pool, how do you keep the control box dry? Would you please post a picture? I have an outside outlet but I have always just taken the robot in and out of the pool each time, which is a pain. (It is an older model that sometimes works and sometimes...

    Dolphin Probably Dead - What Next?

    JoyfulNoise: I've read several of your posts about going from a robot to a suction side cleaner. My experience with a robot has been very limited, but frustrating. I was given an older used robot when I first built my pool, but it seemed like I was always cleaning out the filters at the...

    Hayward purchase on Amazon

    I was just considering the non-OEM board due to price. The boards may last 10+ years for some, but unfortunately I was not the lucky recipient...I got 7 lol. I did all the steps in the troubleshooting guide and I was led to the steps of replacing the main board and display board. I ordered...

    Hayward purchase on Amazon

    I can do basic electrical testing/hookups, but anything else is out of my league. Are they difficult to install or should I plan on hiring an electrician? The SWG is already 120v connection. Suggestions on what type/brand of surge protector? Links would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Replacement SWG

    It was a very hard lightning strike last fall that caused whatever happened. I had problems elsewhere in the house from this same strike. I tried the troubleshooting guide several weeks ago, no help. I did order a replacement main and display board combination, which did not solve the...

    Replacement SWG

    I have an Aquarite T-9 system that was installed in 2014. There is no automation to the system. The box and cell are both dead. I tried to do the troubleshooting for the box and replacing the main board didn't help. Can I change current system to AQR940 without doing any modifications to...

    Hayward purchase on Amazon

    Does anyone know if Hayward honors a warranty for a new SWG (entire system) when purchased on Amazon? Their warranty page specifies "Hayward authorized seller" but didn't know if that included Amazon. I emailed them but haven't received a response. Background: I am replacing a T-9 cell, but...
