After a lot of experimentation, I finally found a solution that keeps my Nautilus CC Pro cleaner from getting stuck on the main drain. Get a 5820 Polaris Unibridge and then alter it as follows: I cut the center out with a jigsaw through the middle of the 3 central slits. I then used a power...

I have a pool at my rental in Saugus, CA that I'd like to have acid washed. I found someone to clean the tile, but I'd like to have a recommendation for someone to acid wash the pool. My old Phoenix pool cleaner did a lousy job on the sides, so I have scale built up on the sides. Now that I've...

I need to replace the bulb in the pool, and I'm confused with the arguments about incandescent vs LED. This is a rental, so I don't want my tenants to be playing with color combinations. I merely want a clear or blue light. People comment on the reliability of LED bulbs, saying they are...

I need to drain and acid wash the pool at my rental this spring, so it's time for me to locate a service to do it for me. I also want to clean the tile at the same time, yet I haven't found anyone who uses Kieserite. The pool is just north of the San Fernando Valley. Are there people you can...

Reviews of this cleaner say it is a very effective cleaner, but their customer service and tech support is worthless. After much research, I discovered the controller pulls 2 amps, yet no one at their company has any idea how many amps are pulled when the cleaner is operating. The closest I can...

My son just gifted me a Nautilus CC Pro for my birthday. After reading this forum, I see the major problem with Maytronics is water gets to the motors and shortens their lifespan. Has anyone come up with a sealant idea to keep water from getting to the motors? Silicone? Non-drying automotive...

The swivel on the head of The Pool Cleaner rotates easily, yet the hose continues to get twisted. This limits how much of the pool can be reached by the cleaner. What recommendations do you have to reduce this tendency? I'm thinking that maybe adjusting the floats on the hose by the head may be...

My TA is 70. My pH shows 8.0, yet 1 drop of R-0005 takes it to 7.4. This is a 20k gallon pool. Do I add acid or not?

To avoid the cost of frequently replacing the O-ring on this canister, I had wired a zinc ball to the handle. On this forum, people recommend against having zinc balls in the pool, so I'm wondering what else people are doing to weigh down this canister, so it doesn't float to the surface. Maybe...

I had the pool replastered 5 days ago. At the time, I tested the tap water and found it to be TA of 290 and CH of 330. After I filled the pool, 8 hours after the plastering was done, here is what the pool water tests at: FC = 0.2 CC = 1.4 pH = 8+ drops to 7.4 = 4 TA = 150 CH = 150 CYA = 0...

I have added your address to my address book, along with making a special rule to accept your email, yet your email is the only one I can't seem to get to go straight to my inbox. What makes your email different than all others, and what can I do to see your emails in my inbox? I use Mozilla...

Parts for The Pool Cleaner seem to only be sold as kits, adding significant unnecessary cost. Does anyone sell specific parts? For example, I'd like a steering shaft, yet they only sell it as a steering assembly kit (part # 896584000-136). The same holds true for the front right gear drive...

This pool is about 22K gallons for a rental house. I plan to have it re-plastered when the weather cools down. I service it once a week. I don’t want to rely on my tenants to add chemicals, as they tend to be inconsistent, so I want to install an automatic chlorinating system. This city has...

This is a rental pool, which limits my ability to fine-tune and check things on a regular basis. It's not in the best of shape, and I've always had challenges with algae. I can't seem to put enough chlorine in the pool. I have two floats on the surface with tri-chlor tabs, and I have my...
