Just unboxed a brand new Warrior SI and put it in the pool. Power supply works, but pool cleaner won’t move. Indicator light won’t come on. Called Marina, who I purchased it from and they said pool cleaners won’t work when water temp is less than 54 degrees (they are confirming the temp). Is...

I’ve had The Dohenny Discovery for about 4 years. Lately it is not cleaning the pool. The impeller is clear, the filter basket is empty. Initially I thought it wasnt able to pick up debris and another user here suggested that the drain flap might have been warped. That appeared to be true, so I...

I have owned the Doheny Discovery since Summer 2016. It’s been good to us; we replaced the motor (covered under 2 year warranty) about 18 months in and haven’t had any trouble from it since. Lately though, it’s not picking up debris. It can move around the pool just fine, but the filter basket...

I’m on Day 4 of SLAMming my pool. At the start of the SLAM, I adjusted my pH, as recommended, to 7.2. My CYA level is 30, so my target SLAM level is 12, which I’ve been maintaining. The pool water looks really good but I do still have some stubborn spores of mold on the plaster, and I’ve yet to...

Has anyone ever used this vendor before? They have a good price on a pool pump I am considering purchasing but I feel funny making a major purchase from a company that I found in a google search.

Our single speed pump has started leaking. We can probably fix it quite easily, but reviewed the operating costs of the pump and have opted instead to upgrade the pump to a vs model. We had a technician provide a bid and make a recommendation on which pump to install. We were pretty shocked...

I'm doing a cost benefit analysis of replacing my pool pump. I have a Hayward 1.5 hp single speed super ll at the moment that has a small leak. My father in law has rebuilt a few pumps and is confident he can help me repair it, so we would only be out by the cost of the parts. He could also...

Our pool pump is on a timer. We have had a few instances where the pump has failed to prime at start up. I'm pretty sure the failures occurred after we have cleaned out the pump basket, so we are being extra careful now to clean it out, fill with water and start the pump afterwards to make...

Went to sleep with a clear, sparkling pool. We had extremely heavy rain overnight (in Houston, TX) and woke up to a cloudy green pool. i have been battling what I believe is mustard algae around the pool steps. I slammed it this weekend. Right now my FC reads 12 (coming down from the target...

I have recurring mustard algae and am about to SLAM my pool. Should I have my robot in the pool in order to sanitize any traces of algae that are on/in it? Or is there another method recommended to sanitize it?

We purchased a home a couple of months ago that has a pool. We got a pool inspection and the inspector noted some worn areas and hairline cracks in the plaster meant that we would probably need to replaster in the "next season or two." I asked him if there were reasons beyond cosmetics to...

We have recently purchased a home and are first time pool owners. We found the round pool drain cover that goes over the main drain at the deep end of our pool resting next to the drain one morning after we ran our pool cleaner. We attempted to reattach the cover but the housing where you...

We bought a home with a pool and have no idea what the capacity of the filter is. All the labels/external markings that would give us an indication of the size of the filter have weathered away. Is there another way to determine its capacity for DE?

We recently purchased a home with a pool and the cleaner, a Polaris 380, that has just stopped working. Took it to a shop for repairs and their assessment is it is in pretty poor condition - $300 to repair now, and will need to have hoses replaced within the next 6 months for an additional...
