Yup. Already ordered a company to come over and check it out. I think i'm going to ask half of the expense to my neighbour. ;-) Thanks for replying.

Hi! Rental home with crappy built pool and pool installation. My pump was never one of the quietest in the world. Apart from that, they have built my pump outside close to the pool itself so you always hear it when it's working. Lately my pump has started to make more and more noise and my...

Seems to be a water analiser which sends data to the cloud which you can pick up with your Flipr mobile app. It’s subscription based and not cheap. What do you think? Useful? Scam? Info here: Pool water testing with Flipr. Save time and money - Eco Efficient House Toontje.

I have a regular problem of having pollen on the surface of the pool. The skimmer doesn't catch it because the entrance is below the surface of teh water so the pollen keep floating on top of them. I cannot catch them with the cleaning net i use to clean leaves etc because the particles are too...

Let's see if i can find that thing here in Spain. Thanks!

I'm living in, or at least very close to a forest... Plenty of insects here. Google Maps

Don't know. Have to look around. So far i haven't seen them in shops. Maybe online. Only Clorine tablets (which probably have a lot of other stuff in them as well) and "pH increase", that's what it's called here. Got the message. Will look around.

So last week i got home late from work. Tired. Warm. Time for a nice nights swim. Switched the pool lights on and got into the water. Now, the garden sprinklers were also active, so there was a nice romantic noise of splashing water around me. At least, i thought it was the sprinklers. Turned...

How's that then? When you're from Spain nobody is interested in the test results? Or is the situation for Spain different? What's up with that? BTW, the levels i try to maintain are in my sig now. Please let me know if i need to go up or down with those.

Yeah, i found this out myself now. At least nothing is broken. Thanks Jim!

Can you elaborate on that? I don't think the handle on the Dolphin Zenit 10 is adjustable.

Are pool robots supposed to climb the walls? I was watching this video: Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus Plus Review in Action - YouTube and i see the Dolphin get almost out of the pool. Mine never does that. Mine, whenever it gets to the wall, it tilts, stops and then goes backwards. I have never...

Chlorine on high level, but still the dust in the pool. I don't seem to get rid of it. Maybe try a manual vacuum cleaner?

Dolphin Zenit 10 (sig updated). What would i be looking for? I regularly change the filters and all seems to be ok. Maybe the valves in the bottom of the filter compartment? What i never clean actually is the fan on the top. I don't see the need for that. Does fluculant help in this case? Or...

I always have a bunch of tiny dust particles on the bottom of my pool. I use floculant (maybe not enough, not sure) and while my Dolphin is working i leave the pump on. I get the feeling that the Dolphin is just throwing the dust around because when it's cleaning the pool looks great but after...
