    Help which might it be the Aqua Rite 20 panel board or a dying cell?

    I'll be sure to check that out too. For now, I've just turned it off. I hate to purchase a new cell for about 10 weeks left in the season. Our first cell lasted 8 years and the second one half that.

    Thank you! I think we'll lug bleach until spring and replace it then.

    cloudy

    okay we are fixed and super clear. We never found a crack or split on the laterals but we were still having sand and cloudiness in the pool. Finally we gave up and scooped out all the sand again and replaced both the laterals and the sand. We are crystal clear. I believe if I didn't have...

    About ready to pull the trigger on a Dolphin Nautilus

    I also purchased the nautilus plus this year to replace a kreepy krauly. It does a great job in my fg pool and does a good job with the water line. I think it will do yours more after it has learned your pool. I'm glad it has a handle. It get heavy with water and I'm glad I have something to...
