I have a vac line in the side of my pool that I no longer use because I have a robot now. Does anyone know of an adapter or something that I can screw into it to make it a side wall drain/suction line that is similar to a drain cover? Basically a cap that has lots of holes so that no one gets...

The active 30i will be good. Personally, I think the cart is necessary for storage. The unit itself is light, but the cart keeps the cord wrapped nicely, the power unit off the floor and the tracks from sitting on ground and not getting crushed.

Yes. The a30i and s300i are the same unit, just different colors. The s series is sold by brick and mortar pool stores and the active series is primarily sold by pool companies. Marina is a huge dealer and repair center so they sell both. There are a lot of people on this forum who have...

I hope I helped. If you can get a refund, give Marina a call. The a30i is a step over the triton plus and it comes with a caddy and better warranty.

The quantum is the same unit as the S300, Active 30 or 2017 Triton Plus with power stream. They all have the same exact pump. Difference is colors and a couple of feature (triton plus doesn't come with caddy). The quantum is branded for a private company, the Triton plus is for internet...

Pools generally get scum across the waterline, so most people use a pad to brush that and a pool brush on the walls. The robot takes care of the walls and only some do the waterline. IMHO is a waterline feature worth $400, NO, but is it and the other features worth $130, YES, especially...

My personal opinion is to remove it each day and rinse out filters every 2 to 3 uses minimum (i do mine every other day). I did extensive research before investing in the Oasis z5. Most of the pool shops (other than Leslie's) and pool cleaning companies by me advise against them because they...

It's a coincidence when it returns to the starting position. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I spoke with maytronics and they said none of their robots have a memory. They learn the pool for that clean cycle only to know what's been covered and the best path to take when cleaning...

It has nothing to do with what brand suction cleaner. All suction cleaners would have left it like that. Suction cleaners only get what's settled on the floor and push it through the main pool filter. Dolphin Robot cleaners separately filter between 3700 and 4500 gallons per hour through their...

I don't own the s300, but my local store demos them but not with the fine filters. I used that to see how it compares to my Oasis z5. I was pretty impressed considering they weren't the fine filter and it doesn't move as much water as mine. I did finish it off with my Oasis and fine filters...

Here is a good example of what a robot can do compared to a suction cleaner. The other day I pressure washed my pool deck and a lot of the dirt got in the pool. I ran my suction cleaner (mx8) for 3 hours then put in a demo unit of the s300 with the screen filter (not the fine one). I used a...

Some people have had issues, especially if there are ripples in the liner. It's not always recommended

Dolphins have a good warranty and they stand behind their product. Good customer service and the machines are made well. The dolphin nautilus plus is a great machine and that's a great price with a caddy. Most places sell that unit for $670-$700 with no caddy. It has their most powerful pump...

The m400 is a newer model. I thought the same thing as you with the float handles and that it meant they were older design. The top of the line dolphins all have floats. They are more powerful units, which is what you said you wanted. It's available for under $1000 and has 3 brushes

A robot will clean your pool better and you won't need to clean your filter as often since one of the debris goes in the pool filter. Plus robots scrub the pool so you don't have to brush anymore Money wise, my pool cleaner, The Dolphin Oasis z5 costs about 10cent to run a cycle, and that's...

I spray down the filters every other use but I really don't have to, it's just a habit. It literally takes 30 seconds. As far as comparing it to suction, I have used several suction cleaners from the barracuda disc style to the mx8 and the Hayward navigator. The robot absolutely does a better...

Yes, de filters are efficient, but it still is getting all the sand and debris your suction cleaner is sucking up. With a robot cleaner, none of that is going into your de. I have the Oasis z5 robot. It costs about 5 cents an hour to run. If you have a vs pump, you can eliminate that high...

A robot will filter your water in addition to the pool pump. I have the oasis z5 and it has a finer filter than my cartridge filter. It filters 4350 gallons per hour, so that means on a cycle, my cleaner itself is turning over my pool water. It's allowed me to drop my VS pump to between 600rpm...

Yeah, my local dealers sell the a30i for $1300, m400 for $1400 and m500 for $1600. Marina is a30i for $899 and m400 for $999. For some reason the s300i is $99 and it's same unit as a30i

Yes. They are a major dealer for maytronics and a repair facility. A lot of people on this forum buy from them and they have been able to register the warranty. You are not buying it on the internet from them, you are placing a phone order. I would get either the a20 or if you want the extra...

Then either get the oasis z5 or the m400. Oasis z5 is available from epicpoolsypply.com. There is also a $25 off coupon out there, poolreview25 (not my afffiliate, I just found it on web). M400 is in stores only but you can get it by calling Home | Marina Pool Spa & Patio and I believe they...

All 3 are nice. What is your pool made of, plaster or vinyl liner? I have the Oasis z5 and its an awesome machine. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of setting a program or waterline only, but it is fast and has a strong pump. It also comes with a 3 year warranty. You can get it...

You are better off with the active 30 for a vinyl liner. Don't get the Oasis or Premium, the suction is too strong. Also, you can get the Active 30i, top of the line in that series from Home | Marina Pool Spa & Patio Last i check (which was last week) they were selling it for $899, free...

Im using the Taylor Speed stir

If you have an above ground pool that is buried, don't get the nautilus. It will harm your line

How long does it change for the addition of calcium to reflect in your test results? I had 3 different companies test my water and calcium was at 120. They also all told me don't worry about it since the diamond brute is at the end of its life and needs to be redone next year. I added 50...
