We have a circupool RJ-45 that we installed in 2019. Things have been ok until this season. The system will run a few weeks and then the Lo Salt/Cell Maintenance lights come on and stop chlorine production. We clean the cell and then get a few more weeks. Yesterday after a week of no swimming...

Thanks to massive flooding from Hurricane Henri, our liner lifted. We’ve struggled with it lifting in the past (it did this winter), and just had it stretched back into place. At this point we will need to replace and install a sump pit but since that isn’t feasible until next season, is there...

I’ve posted about our dud of a robot before. I’m back because I’m struggling with it yet again. I have the A30 or (Dolphin s300). It’s not picking up anything in the deep end. It still is scaling walls and seems to be grabbing the majority of the dirt in the shallow end, but no luck with the...

We have a 19yo heater. We knew before purchasing our home 4 years ago that it would likely need repair but didn’t feel motivated to have it looked at until today. The repair guy from our local company who we use for pool issues said while he could play around and get it to work, it makes more...

We purchased our robot in May of last year as per the recommendation of this board. We bought it from Marina which was quick and easy. However this robot has been a nightmare and I’m at a loss as to what to do. Last year we got 3 weeks out of it before it stopped moving. 1st with customer...

Thanks to this awesome board we purchased an s300 from Marina in May. For a few weeks it worked perfectly and picked up things I didn’t even notice were in the pool. Now however, I can’t get it to pick up a worm or leaf. Is there something that maybe went out of alignment or an area I might be...

I'm hoping this is my last post at least for the foreseeable future. We installed the Cirucpool RJ-45 this weekend along with their 1.5hp pump (I guess I need to update my signature line). Only a minor issue with the water sensor part leaking so we will have to fix that on the SWG but otherwise...

SWG just about installed. I was all set to add the salt but then realized I’m not sure if I can combine with the CYA or if I have to add separately. We need to raise our CYA since it’s only 35. So which should I add first or are they ok together?

So a few weeks into our open pool and I'm having trouble keeping pH higher than 7.0. We opened ourselves and did a SLAM, everything is clear. But even if I add Soda Ash, the higher pH lasts for a day and then comes back down. Currently, it looks like this: CYA 35, FC 5-6 during the day (next...

We are planning on opening this weekend but aren't ready to install the SWG and new pump (placing my order today). Should I open and SLAM and then in a few weeks when we do the conversion hopefully the water will be in good shape? Or should I just hold off and do everything at once? We've never...

Hi! We are considering converting to a SW system this summer. I've gotten a few local quotes averaging about $2500 but my husband is an engineer and a close friend is an electrician so I feel like it may make more sense to do this ourselves. Is there a good post on the site as to how to do this...

We successfully (or at least I thought successfully SLAMed the pool about two weeks ago). I finished the SLAM Friday morning and have been testing my water every other morning. It seems like the chlorine is getting eaten up at a really fast rate. I have high CYA (70) so I know it requires a bit...

Of course in the midst of slamming for the first time, we just got about 4 inches of rain overnight (at least). The pool filled all the way to the top and I just went to check the chlorine to continue my SLAM and saw the 2yr old liner is wrinkled in numerous places. I saw that can be due to high...

Hi. I found this forum last year after spending almost $1000 on getting my pool clear after opening. I vowed never to do it again so this year when we opened green I ordered a Taylor test kit and here I am. I'll admit this is all very confusing because chemistry is not my strong suit but I...
