    New EVO 604

    I don't have any experience for comparison, chips. My prior pool cleaner was a pressure side Polaris 380 (no brushing). As Jim said, the brushes on the 604 are substantial and they really hit the waterline hard when it does a pass. So far, this cleaner suits me fine. It does such a better job...

    [Looking for advice] Repair PB450 booster vs buying a Robot Cleaner.

    I had a 380 for a long time too. How did you never have to rebuild it in all that time? I rebuilt mine at least twice. It is very nice to be able to leave it in the pool. There are a few minor hassles - retrieving it to empty the bag every day (don't want to leave the dead mice/snakes/frogs in...

    New EVO 604

    I've had a Polaris 380 for over a decade cleaning my 15x40 gunite pool. Booster pump failed this summer so I thought I'd give the corded robot cleaner a try. I found this EVO 604 on sale and put it into action the first time this weekend. Ahhhhhhh....silence while the pool is being cleaned. And...

    EVO 604 = Polaris 8640?

    Does anyone know if there are any differences between these two units? These user's manuals look identical. Drastic price difference! Thanks.

    Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amps

    Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp I don't know anything about the TItanium cell, but I would get a good salt test yourself. If it aligns with your pool person, then trust that. In any event, I would never rely on my equipment's measurement of salt level to lead me...

    WHOA! Mud in pool.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Running the pump/filter wasn't helping so I set the valve to recirc and added flocculent. Then I let sit for 24 hours and had a nice settling at the bottom. I vacuumed to waste and got rid of the large majority of the dirt, but the pool is still cloudy. Is...

    WHOA! Mud in pool.

    Oh yeah, I forgot. 20k gal IG, gunite, plaster, tile at the water line, 2 skimmers. Thanks again for all advice.

    WHOA! Mud in pool.

    Thanks. I have a sand filter, multiport valve, SWC, manual pool vacuum, and a Polaris 380 that I'm sure won't be any use right now. I guess that I have to endure the look of the pool until the sediment settles. Ugggh :( So, manual vacuum to waste. Got it. Is running the filter while...

    WHOA! Mud in pool.

    Hopefully someone can give me advice as to the best way to clean a pool that's had a bit of mud run into it. We had so much rain that it leached mud through a retaining wall near our pool patio and some of the mud made it to pool. There won't be enough to scrape off the bottom, but the water...

    lights not working - aqualogic system

    We have a Goldline Aqualogic automation system purchased 5 years ago when we built our pool. We also installed two Hayward Colorlogic lights at that time. We don't have kids and have never been very big night swimmers, so I'd say the lights have been used about 10-15 hours total in the last 5...

    Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amps

    Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp Look to see if the K1 relay connection on the back of the board is solid. Mine was degraded. Best way I can put it.

    Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amps

    Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp Nevermind. I left everything attached, unscrewed, and popped it off. That relay definitely needed re-soldering. Thanks for the help.

    Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amps

    Re: Aqua Logic Salt Too High - Cholrinator Off High Salt/Amp Wow. I'm now having this exact problem. How did you guys get the main board free from all the wiring? I'm daunted to think I could get it hooked back up correctly.
