    Bad salt cell?

    ~25K gal, vinyl lined inground, in MD. I've got an older resilience SWG, ~10 yrs old. It has served me really well, but is currently having a problem. When I turn the knob up to increase the output, it will not go past ~20% and it also does not generate sufficient chlorine. I tried cleaning...

    Disappointed in Maytronics Dolphin Active 20 Cleaner

    So I picked up an Active 20 in Summer 2019 to replace our Blue Diamond that lasted us 12 years. Didn't run it much for what was left in 2019 and none in 2020 due to tree falling on pool. But after opening pool this season and running it a bunch, I must say, I'm really disappointed overall with...

    FS: Pool Buster MAX CG

    I don't know if this is even allowed on the forum or not? I didn't find a "for sale" section anywhere. If this isn't allowed, I apologize. I was just hoping to help out another TFP member who might be looking for one of these. I've got a Pool Buster MAX Commercial Grade. Used it for one...

    Replacing Side Ports in Vinyl Lined Pool

    My memorial weekend was spent trying to fix the leaking underground plumbing at our pool. There were leaks in all three underground lines (it was a black poly pipe setup). The pool at our house is a 70's era vinyl lined 18x36, liner is 1 year old. It has one skimmer, one side suction port...

    Blue Pearl, Blue Diamond Cleaner Performance/Durability

    We bought a house last year with an 18 x 36 vinyl lined pool. This is our first pool, and after one season of cleaning it manually, I've decided to get a robotic cleaner and pretty much have it narrowed down to the Blue Pearl or Blue Diamond (I decided on these over the aquabots because they...
