Pool's been fighting me a bit this year. Thought I had it all set up, passed the SLAM last weekend, etc. Noticing that my salt cell (T-Cell-15) doesn't seem to be keeping pace, and I'm losing FC. 26k gal pool, used to running it in 2 blocks of 4 hours each, 55% for the SWG, and not having...

So, had the pool guys close my pool yesterday, and went out and took a look this morning (kept an eye on it during closing, all looked normal, but wasn't right up in their business). Noticed that the sand filter is positioned in the "filtration" position and not the "closed" position that it...

Ok, got a new one going on, appealing to the hive mind for help! :) Noticed the pool wasn't running during one of the times I'd have expected it to be (not running at 6pm, automation should have it on from 5-9pm, for example). Checking the controller, it had the Check System light on, and a...

Moved from here. Bumping this vice starting a new thread, as seeing same issue. Finished SLAM, adjusted my chemicals to optimal (cya will take a bit to catch up) and installed brand new tcell15 to replace a dead sat cell. When it is operating, I get a cloudy discharge from the returns. After...

Hey all! Been generally lucky for the past few years, but looks like this year, I'll be spending some money on pool parts! Haven't had to do a ton previously, but pool is of unknown age, somewhere between 10-15 years old, and things are starting to wear. Likely installed around 2008. Looking...

So, family has me considering a heater for the pool (pool got cold in the past week or so, making swimming suddenly less enjoyable). Wanted to lay out what I've got going on and talk through it, get some opinions, etc. First off, I have a gas heater, but it's never worked since I bought the...

Starting up my yearly saga thread! Trying something new this year; after 3 years of paying the pool company to open in the spring, think I'm going to attempt to do it myself this year. I've been doing the cover for a couple years as they take $50 off the price if it's uncovered. After having...

Anyone have recommendations for the best/cheapest place to get replacement filters for the Dolphin Nautilus Plus? Broke one of the stupid little plastic tabs at the bottom. Probably still works ok for now, but figured I should pick up extras for if anyone one goes or it doesn’t hold up. It...

So, just finished SLAM, pool up and going, all set, right? Nope. Pump ran fine during a 3 week, 24/7 SLAM, but since I've shifted into normal mode (4hr spurts 2x a day), I've noticed some water on the equipment pad. Happens occasionally, but usually a small amount, traceable to the sand...

I'm back! After an amazing and trouble free year, I now start year 2 of pool ownership. With the help of some amazing folks here, I took a pool that had been closed almost 4 years, dredged a few inches of dead worms out of black water, and had it sparkling in 3 weeks give or take. Pool and...

So, saw a warning on the robot saying not to put in with FC higher than some fairly low number (4 maybe?). Also have seen people saying during SLAM is fine. Thoughts on which way is right? Maytronics trying to overly cover themselves? And with my CYA at 60, I'm now slamming at 24. Too much...

Had this as part of my 'newbie' thread, but breaking out in hopes of getting more attention/help in this area. Background: Bought the house with pool late last summer, opening for first time this season. Pool was closed the previous 3 seasons. SWG pool. Mechanics appear to be in...

New pool owner, can check out my (mis)adventures in the other forum. I've got a roughly kindey-shaped 40k gallon SWG pool, and am looking to pick up a robotic cleaner to help clean this up and then maintain the pool. Looked around online, and am immediately confused. Million different names...

Hey all, Thanks for this site, just reading through things has been a big help. Bought a house end of last summer with an inground pool, and have never had a pool before, so I'm definitely going to be winging it here and begging for help. For extra fun, the previous owner hadn't used it in 2...
