My 2007 Dolphin Dynamic has worked perfectly for all these years, (guess I should be grateful) but now it remains on auto when in joystick mode. Typically it would stop and only move by joystick unless motionless for a few minutes, then would revert back to auto. Now it just keeps on going...

Was buying Clorox 8.25 percent bleach at Sams before they added the extra ingredient and called it "Performance Bleach with Cloromax". Then started using Walmart or others to get the 8.25 percent, which, when it was introduced, was labeled "regular concentrated". There was a big promotion by...

Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated! Will not be using Clorox anything. Clorox specifically states that Performance bleach has 8.25%, Regular Bleach 6%. The box with Cloromax continues to show bottles on the carton that says Performance Bleach as well as on the bottles themselves. My...

I've been using bleach successfully since renovating our pool 10 years ago. I've been buying it at Sam Club, 3 bottles in a convenient to carry and store box. Initially the 1 1/2 gallon bottles were 6% sodium hypochlorite, then one day they had changed to smaller bottles, 2.83 gallons, but had...

Thank You... all of those things have been checked, they even switched the pool and spa units on the heater to see if it was a bad spa temp controller. I'm still thinking it's a problem with the high pressure switch, but it looks like I'm heading for a new board, if that fixes it, great; if not...

We recently had our no longer repairable Polaris Command Center replaced with the Pentair automated system, except for the new lights, all other components are Jandy. Prior to the conversion our heater worked perfectly; now, it will not heat the spa above 85 degrees. On occasion it has for no...

Our pool was remodeled in 2007. When they put in the electrical for the spa light, they did not use a junction box, as the old spa had, but ran conduit a long twisting route from spa to controller. We had to replace the Polaris EOS Command Center and thought while we were at it we'd upgrade the...

Thanks for the reply! We decided on the Pentair System... and the Jandy light works. Not as easy to change color nor as many color options as the Pentair light, but it works the same as it did with the Polaris eos, using a sequence of on - off to change color. It's ok, but a pain in the butt...

We have the same problem... I've found by switching the ballast far right, then the next time far left, that helps some. Also if it becomes heavy from debris it's prone to stay in the deep end. Our Dolphin is 9 years old, have never thought about replacing tracks or brushes. It's had this...

Our pool was renovated eight years ago and we had the Polaris EOS Command Center installed. It's had a few glitches over the years, but now the control pad has gone black, dead! The people that installed it says its obsolete and parts are unavailable... True or False? They also say the Jandy...

My Polaris EOS system suddenly has a mind of it's own, with the shortcut control taking over and randomly turning spa, heater, etc on and off, even when everything is shut down. Cannot stop it without shutting off the power. Any ideas... or at least a way to disable the shortcut until I can...

Thank You... That's a better solution than draining outside the pool. He was going to bring a sump pump and drain the spa onto the lawn. Plus charge me $125.00. I thought kinda high for replacing a bulb.

A lightning strike knocked a relay out of our Polaris Command Center. Everything still worked except the pool and spa lights, which could not be turned off. Had to unplug the relay to turn them off. Service tech repaired today but spa light won't come on. He figures the lamps out. He want's to...

Is that a chlorine puck in the second picture?

Hi Phil I had my pool remodeled last season and wanted to add a better cleaner. Have used the polaris for years, but like you say, it leaves a lot of small stuff, which is going into the filter one way or another (don't you just love to vacuum) Shelled out the bigger bucks for the Dolphin...
