    Fill-o-matic leaking at the hose

    It had a 90 degree elbow and I can't get the water hose to seal..Tried a new water hose gasket and it seems to keep getting worse. Has anybody else had a similar issue or know if it requires a special washer?

So thought great lets get more since we had a ton of rain and mine is low again but this time I got stains :( I have the inyo which looks a lot like the hayward so keep it close to 3000...

    Cell warranty on edge 40

    My cell is 95% dead and discount salt said I can send it in and get a 40% discount if it’s bad but have to pay shipping to and from. Or they offered me a 20% discount to just buy a new one which I picked. Going with out a cell for 2 weeks or more would be challenging since liquid chlorine is...

    Remember CYA is your friend here

    I did the same thing last year and remembered but lazy. After we battle high CYA with pucks we start hating it and avoid it no matter what they recommend here but it helps. Been battling to keep my FC around 6 even with my edge 40 at 50% running 19 hours a day. Starting to wonder if my SWG...

    Polaris 360 wheel RPM

    I was reading in the manual wheels rpm should be 24 to 32 but that seems excessive? Mine is closer to 14 and seems to move pretty fast and even cranking my pump pressure up to kill mode didn't seem to increase it a ton. Wondering if any Polaris "experts" have any input?

    Comparison of Polaris 360 vs Pentair SE ( s200 )

    Just a little background, I had a 360 for over 20 years. This pool is setup with a center outlet for it which helps It stayed in the pool 24/7/365 unless I am worried about it freezing, Early 2020 it needed rebuilding and at the time I thought the parts were expensive so bought a Pentair SE for...

    Dolphin SE issue

    Affordable " shock"

    If your like me and need to raise your stabilizer and get your FC up for spring I found these on amazon..Other brands were twice as much so not sure how long these will be around. My Walmart ( even thought the app says they do ) never has Liquid anymore and the prices at HomeDepot make me want...

    Morton rust removal salt

    I went to Walmart to get a few bags of pool salt and they had Morton rust removal salt on the same shelf in the pool section. I got my normal stuff ( Morton is my favorite ) but was curious. Got home and looked and it’s around $29 a bag and said special salt that removes iron?

    I noticed it hasn’t been cleaning as well so decided to buy new threads. Hard to see in the pictures but they were pretty worn. I have a pebble tech type finish so not the smoothest. Mine stays in the pool 9 Months a year and runs every night.

    I am hugging my SWG today

    my CYA was low so I debated buying a few pucks and letting them dissolve in the floater. Raise CYA, maybe lower PH all while chlorinating some. That was until I picked up a single tablet at Walmart last night and scanned the price!! $19 for a single tablet, they did have a 5pd bucket that was...

    Pool light kicking GFI

    I replaced the bulbs and noticed it did have a little water inside of it. Now as soon as I turn it on it trips. Took lens back off and bulb out and fixture on the side and it still trips. Wondering if moisture in the socket is causing the issue or if the housing could be bad. I can’t imagine...

    My CYA experiment

    I had cleaned my pool and did a fresh fill several months back and left my CYA around 50ish ( pool is mostly in the shade ) and noticed my SWG was running more than before struggling to keep my FC around 5. Last week I added more stabilizer and brought it up close top 80 and now my FC is at 9.5...

    anybody replaced the tracks on a SE/S200 robot?

    Mine is about 2 years old and stays in the water and runs daily except for a couple months a year when its cold. This year it seems to be getting stuck on the main drain cover all the time and does underwater burnouts :) Wondering if the tracks wear and replacing them would help, look to be...

    Last time I drug 6 bags at a time to my car and made 2 or 3 trips. Sore back and salt in my trunk. This time paid Homedepot $35 and had 18 bags delivered on a pallet:)

    Plaster coloring

    My pool was replastered several years ago with a pebbletek type plaster and have never been happy with the looks. Looking at the picture it’s looks to have a gray covering over some of the white with blue dots. My question does it need acid washing to remove the gray covering? The plaster guy...

    Its snowing in Georgia so maybe bored :) I have some stains that are iron although I don't think I have iron in my county water so not sure why they keep coming back.

    Does dolphin s200 has a low temp shutoff?

    Mine worked fine last month but tried it today ( guessing the water is in the upper 40’s ) and it runs for a minute and shuts off. I think I am Out of warranty anyway and can deal with it when it’s warmer if it has an issue

    Calling water experts

    Had a discussion a few weeks back and it’s bugging me. If you needed water to drink how safe would it be? Assuming you don’t use any algae killers. Should just be water with maybe CYA and calcium??

    I think my 2 years old Inyo pump/vgreen motor is failing

    I have noticed water around the pump but didn't think much about it. We had crazy rain every evening for as long as I can remember but now the motor is definitely louder :( Any suggestions besides take it apart and probably replace the motor?

    Cost of mess pool cover

    With all The leaves I get I was wondering how much it would cost to add a tight mess pool cover to my free form pool which is roughly 20 x 40. Not sure if the official names for them but the ones that claim you can walk on them. Anybody know a ballpark price??

    Lack of pool maintenance companies in Hilton head

    I responded to a lady who was looking for one after her old company quit. I simply asked if they had considered doing it them selves. She said they weren’t able to and at least 6 or 7 others have suggested “ their company” and every one isn’t taking new customers. If I was closer to retirement...
