    Robot filter basket bottom falls open

    So I just purchased my first robot (Dolphin E20). It did an admirable job cleaning my pool but when I pulled out the filter basket, the bottom fell open and dumped everything out. I just figured it wasn't closed right, but upon close inspection the bottom doesn't really stay closed at all...

    Sand Filters - are they really this bad?

    Hi folks, The only filter I've ever had to deal with is a sand filter and I'm wondering if there's something wrong with mine or if they really are this terrible. Here's what happens: There is always fine silt collecting in clumps on the bottom of the pool. When I vacuum it up, I see it...

    Brand new SuperFlo 1HP noise (video included)

    Hi Everyone! This is my first post to TFP, but I've been reading this forum religiously since I bought a house with a pool in April. The pump that came with the house was in pretty bad shape (it was rusting to pieces and very very loud, but still pumped water), so I decided to replace it with...
