We purchased our S200 model about 2 months ago, it has a swivel on the power cord. It works fair to well most of the time. Sometimes I do have to straighten it out when I extract Bob from the pool , easy enough to do as you pull him out gently. Our pool is HUGE 20 x 50 and it takes 2 runs to get...

Bob was up early this morning cleaning the sunning shelf. Kyra dropped her bone in the water next to Bob in hopes that he would play with her...........Just throw it a little.......Please! Bob has a stellar work ethic, no time for play dog. Ron

Our platform is about 16" deep and "Bob" a S200 model was all over it today, did a great job too. The first day it wouldn't climb up on the platform, but today it's a different "Bob". Kinda funny sometimes he does a Wheelie across the entire ledge. I want to call out to him when he's heading...

Our S200 showed up Yesterday, we've been anxiously awaiting it's arrival. Like a new member of the family............ We originally wanted to name him Sven, but he looks like a Bob. We're waiting for the chlorine level to drop after SLAMing the pool to clear it after our weeks vacation with a...

Ctrav, Thank you for reminding me to update my Sig. We just finished moving this week and I had not updated to our current pool. Had to hire an attorney to "insist" previous owners moved out. Jeesh...... Moving on, Our new pool is 20 x 50 x9' with a large sunning shelf. Once I remove the...

Now that I'm officially a member of the "club", I have another question My pool is 37K gallons , it had a 3 wheeled return side (return not a separate pump) hose driven non-functional cleaner. It looked like a Pace Car at the track going 'round 'n 'round in circles(the cleaner) died a...

Finally, a club that will accept me as a member! Thanks All, this is exactly why I asked the questions I asked. Intentional confusion which make it all clear as mud. With all the great reviews and the price from Marina Pool in Co, plus the $50 rebate from Maytronics I pulled the proverbial...

The wife unit has declared that we need to purchase a robot. I like the design of units in this thread. Price is important, but not as important as quality. I don't need fancy, just dependable. Does anyone know the differences between the S200 and the Nautilus CC Plus? I believe both qualify...

Thank you for this post. The timing (for me) could not be better. I'm ordering a Nautilus CC plus today because of your experience. Ron

My 2 Cents worth. We have a pebble tec in ground pool 6.5 deep at the deepest. Infloor cleaner does a FAIR job, but it needs to run most of the day to clean leaves from a nearby oak tree. I would not build one into a new pool. I've never had a problem with any jets but a robot would scrub the...

Thank you, I know I should be more patient. I have been in the past, I'd sure like to know how to repair (and with what product) Pebble-Tec. Most of the other links on the Interwebs are either ads for someone else to do the work, or translated via google into a Quazi* English language that I...

Gladly accepting opinions, I won't hold 'ya to it. :)

Friends, I'd like some expert advice on how to repair (hopefully myself) the cracks that have developed in the spa / spill over of my inground pool. The pool is ~7 years old, we are the 2nd owners, pool was here when we moved in 3 years ago. It is a salt water pool with infloor jets. (bummer...

Thank you Woodyp, When we first bought the house, the pool was soooo green that you could not tell it was a pebble tech. bottom. Couldn't see deeper than 2" into the murk. I hired a pool specialist (area renown) to help me decipher the myriad of pumps and valves. He understood most of it but...

One more photo of my "octopus" plumbing. Ron

Thanks to all the wonderful folks here at TFP. I have learned so much on this site. We have owned this bank bought home for 2+ years now, past 2 summers pool max temp was 80* in mid August when the temps were ~100+ for days at a time. We live near Sacramento Ca. I read everything I could find...

A little late to this party I know. But I too have a paramount infloor cleaning system and it works great! No complaints it's 6 years old. I do find that it causes higher pressures at the filter due to the pressure needed to have sufficient force at the jets/sprinklers. I have successfully...

Thanks for the reply guys. Bama; No controller in the system, I am going to use a Jandy 3 way valve for regulation. Sorry for leaving out the information about the 3 way valve. I have purchased them already. Brain fart on my part. If I hook it back up to the main line the higher pressure in the...

I am building a solar heating system on my roof for my IGP ~18,000 G. Because the pool is the type with inground jets (sprinkler type) cleaners there is no sweep machine or pump outlet into the pool from the main filter pump. I cannot return the solar heated water to the same line because of the...

Simple Green works Great! Ron

Thank you Jason, as always, concise AND professional. Ron

I have an in ground 17,000 ga. plaster pool. It has in floor cleaning (not my choice) and a "moat" water feature. I would like to put solar panels on my roof but the house has hip roofs everywhere. In my photo there are 2 possible "input" routes. One in Blueand one in Green. Red is heated...

BK406, Thank you for your prompt response. Noted about liquid Chlorine in the winter. No kidding, I was loosing sleep about having to buy a new SWCG. How are us common folk to know? (rhetorical) Thanks, Ron

Very Similar Issue with my pool, One day the Sensor (Jandy Aquapure) was reading normally, the next day I only get a temp. reading. Is that normal for cold weather? The water temperature is 41* I knew I was low on salt from the previous reading(s) so I added more. Today I cleaned the sensor...

+1 please

Jason, Congratulations on the sale of "The Pool Calculator", it is a tool we all have used and appreciated very much. Thank you for allowing us access to it. Now that it's sold, does that mean you will NOT be developing an Android application for its use? Unless they pay you to compile one for...
