Think this is more of an issue than admitted to. Here is my thread. Dolphin S200 not living up to it

I just wrote to your other thread. But I just wrote Pool Supply Unlimited and asked if they were truly charging $25 for shipping.

I'm in same boat as you. Two places seem to have stock - All Your Spa & Pool Supplies Needs | Pool Supply Unlimited and Pioneer Family Pools - We Know Pools, Patio and Hot Tubs! We sell, service and repair inground pools, onground pools, aboveground pools, hot tubs, spas and patio furniture...

I think the gears are garbage. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/dolphin-s200-not-living-up-to-it.281517/

Bought a S200 in 2018 and have been, generally, less than impressed by it. I've had to replace numerous parts - drive gear, wheel, wheel gear, inside wheel bushing, and belts. And it probably needs a new cord and filter set too. When I first got it I was impressed at how much fine sediment it...

I understand aeration. I understand that there are various methods to aerate. I understand the DIY methods (considering I have them). I understand the connection method. I am not asking to be talked out of a purchase of which I already have a solution for. The question is about the methodology...

In my original post I said that I had the DIY PVC.

What I have (DIY PVC stuff) is working fine but wondering what the crowd thinks of these? https://www.amazon.com/SpaO2-Swimming-Pool-Aerators-Alkalinity/dp/B09VHYPSD8

This is much like my problem. I have a large percent of my pool that is covered at this point. I swam down and scrubbed and it comes off but it is a lot of scrubbing. I don't even think I can scrub that hard from the outside of the pool with a pole. Honestly wondering if I need to drain, acid...

So initial findings. Probably been adding closer to 12lbs than 8lbs of DE. I weighed it out in the past but apparently something changed. I have a hanging scale coming and will weigh it out from here on out for better precision. Replaced the original pressure gauge with a new gauge that has...

So you are literal - if it says 8lbs then you measure out 8lbs. Yes, the salt level is low. I have held off adding salt as I didn't want to add salt then turn around in a week to filling the pool with dirt. :p I do have it on hand to add once I get this figured out. I think it is OK as the...

So here is a softball question - how much DE to charge the filter with. Manual for the Quad DE80 is 8lb (qty 16 of 1lb coffee can). I know the history of the coffee can but this is confusing/inaccurate so lets not use that. Are we adding a literal 8lbs? So if a 24lb bag is bought then I should...

I'm just trying to understand the indicators. I though that as a filter clogged up - whether it be dust or algae or DE - the pressure went up? Is this not true? I am pretty sure I'm nowhere close to 800ppm on the CH.

Last year I bought new filters. Link. CSI is near impossible to maintain with CH in my area. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough. Lets say I haven't and I have scaled filters - how do I test they are scaled? How do I correct? I run 9hrs at 70% at 2100rpm. I am aware the SWG wont work if too low...

To go from 100% to 0% flow in 4 hours and the pressure gauge on the filter doesn't move? The gauge goes from 0 to 10psi one I start it up. If I raise the rpm then it also raises so gauge seems functional. What am I missing? I've been here since 2018. Water looks not the best right now because...
