So right now it seems to be working. I guess a wire got loose in there. I did find the IQ30 total package for $960 on wholesale pool equipment. I usually install this stuff myself. My pool equipment always seems to wait until after the warranty expires to break - sometimes by just a week. I...

A new antennae is on the way. I removed the wires to the PCB and trimmed back to fresh copper and reinserted and tightened everything up and that seems to have helped. The pump has functioned properly today and I have been able to connect from the computer as well. I am not sure that is all...

I definitely have rev r - I remember that from when I bought it. I have not changed anything with our home wifi in several years and have a repeater next to it. I will check out the wire situation - that is a good possibility. The antennae is in bad shape but it has been looking like that for...

The remote link is the iq900 (the blue one). I replaced the motherboard at the same time with the upgraded version that would allow the iq900 to work and control a VSP pump. The pump runs 1000rpm 6a-12p, 1500rpm 12p-8p 1200 rpm 8p-10p. I just went out tonight and everything is running fine...

Hi All, I am having some trouble with my Pentair VSP pump. I am not sure if it is the iaqualink system or the pump. The pump has been randomly turning on and off while it is supposed to be running. There is power to the pump and the jandy panel says it should be running. I have not been able...

I have had the M5 for about a year now. I am quite happy with it. Prior to it, I had a Hayward Navigator which did not work well at all in my pool so I went to hand vacuuming. Compared to hand vacuuming this is great. But, the pool needs to be pretty clean to begin with. I use a net to get...

I have not spent that much time watching it work (minutes not hours), but I have not seen it on my steps or beach area. It does climb the walls - it is bigger than most of my steps, so it would probably tip off. Overall, though, it seems easy enough to clean the steps yourself - I do a little...

I have the M5 and love it. I looked on Epic's site and they mention a new Dolphin called an X5 - I know nothing about this, but I would give them a call and discuss it. Epic says they can sell that one over the internet. I called them about the M5 when I bought it and they were very helpful...

I have a 50ft pool and the M5 is working great. The cord is about 60ft - with coiling it is just right for 50ft. Because of my outlet location, I have it very close to one end of the pool. They say not to use an extension cord, but the cord provided to plug into the wall is only about 6ft -...

Re: Dophin Premier. Where did you buy? What model did you bu I'm in the market too. Dolphin Premier is apparently very similar to Dolphin Supreme M4 - Premiere is a private label (just to confuse us). Check out epicpoolsupply.com. They have the best prices I have found. There is much...

Is it possible there is an air leak somewhere, maybe a missing gasket on the skimmer basket or a loose union? Skimmer basket gasket got me once.

I had a very similar problem - my cell was still generating, but the unit was fried. I was getting erroneous salt values like you, but also the percentage of power would jump around without touching the nob. I am not sure, but I think you might need a new unit. I would replace both because...

I have owned a circupool RJ60 for just under 2 yrs. I just replaced it with an Aquarite 40K. I have had troubles with this unit overheating and turning off. I had the entire unit and cell replaced twice under warranty. A month ago it caught fire and started spewing water everywhere. I also...

So I am thinking about getting either the M4 or M5. Can anybody comment on repair issues? For the money, these things better be pretty bullet proof... I have been manually vacuuming for the last 4 yrs because I got sick of fixing the suction based cleaner (Hayward navigator or something like...

I guess the main disadvantage to the pool store testing is you just don't do it as much as you should. I am planning a shock treatment and to get a good test kit. I am also going to add borates to the pool. Time for some scrubbing. Just bought the Tf-100 - Thanks - Dan

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum but have been taking care of my own pool for 9 yrs now. I generally have done a good job. Now for the confessions: I usually use the test strips and bring a sample to the pool store every few weeks. I use Pinch-a-penny - they seem to do a good job and the...
