Anyone else's Dolphin Nautilus not doing quite the job your accustomed to? Mine worked flawlessly for 3 years and now I need to run it 2 or 3 times to get similar results. I'm considering the replacement of a few minor parts, but not sure if anyone else has insight into this issue. Thanks.

Hi, I'm interested in installing a few lamposts around my pool, about 15' from the edge of the pool. Does this have to have a low voltage power supply? I've done some basic residential wiring in the past and planned to run a line to my current light switch for my underwater lights or have a...

Greetings, I cleaned out my skimmers today and they're smelling pretty nasty. I've had clear, comfortable water all summer long. Recent tests results are low. Not sure why my chlorine is so high, as I haven't added any additional chlorine aside from what's produced by the SWG. Though, my SWG was...

My apologies for posting here, but I'm getting quite a bit frustrated with the line clearing process. Hopefully the attached picture will suffice in helping those visualize what I'm trying to describe. I consulted with my pool company, pool store, and youtube and I'm pretty darn confused. I...

I recently vacuumed my pool and during the process, my ordinarily quiet pump took on a minor yet annoying rattling noise. I've backwashed and rinsed several times to no avail. Now this rattle is constant and i'm hoping someone can aid me in returning my pump to its former glory. Thanks. Sent...

I have large clumps of mortar accumulated at the bottom of my pool, basically outlining the entire perimeter. This occurred from spillage during installation of coping. I started skimming some of it out, but since it has hardened I'm concerned i may tear the lining with all that finagling. My...

I have a variable speed pump configured to change speeds and shut down when appropriate. An additional circular style mechanical timer is also connected to the filter pump circuit. The mechanical timer is currently inactive. My pool company recommended I move the timer from the pump circuit to...

I had my pool company come by today for a 1 hour demo of my pool equipment for a 30,000 gallon in ground pool with salt chlorinator. During the process he advised me not to add calcium as that will be somehow problematic. I don't recall specifics unfortunately. So I returned the 25 lb bag of...

Hi, I have an 18x36 built in pool with with hayward filter and Aquarite AQR15 salt generator. The pool has been installed and filled since last fall and the water is clear. I have 15 bags of salt left in my yard by the pool builder who said the salt should be dumped into the pool once my masonry...

The pool builder left me with some generic testing strips, but I am curious to know if there is a more comprehensive and accurate test kit that this community recommends. I have an 18 x 36 in ground pool with a Hayward pump and salt water generator. Thanks!

Greetings pool pros! I'm a pool newb and actually so new that I don't even own one yet. I signed a contract back in June and now get to sit back in awe at the administrative efficiency that is local government bureaucracy. In fact, living near a lake entitles me to exposure to state government...
