    Ready to buy a robotic cleaner - What does everyone have and like?

    I think Maytronics are awesome robots. I spent $1150 on an M5 Supreme FOURTEEN years ago, it has never let me down. Suction cleaners have their share of problems and cost more on the electric bill than a robot. My M5 just got a little sluggish and I am looking at the E70. We'll see what happens...

    Too much CC

    Ok Just tested again : FC dropped to 20, CC was a drop under 1 but higher than 0.5 meaning one drop off the 0871 made it almost clear . Second dropped make it perfectly clear.. I added another 2 gallons to bring up the FC level to SLAM again

    Too much CC

    Thanks. So according to the SLAM chart it would be 24. I think the bleach +SWG took it over the top , which only got rid of 1CC. I have to add some a couple of inches of water now and will retest afterwards

    Too much CC

    Hi Hope everyone safe during these crazy times. Need a little help. Opened the pool two weeks ago, looked like a swamp. Vacuumed to waste, Dolohin M5 for two days straight constantly emptying it every hour. Water got clear and no junk in the pool. Added CYA and now pool is now sparkling clean...

    Does This Pool Vacuum Exist?

    You can get an Aquabot Jetmax, and then add on the pole kit , part number A700002. This will allow you to throw the cleaner in the pool and move it exactly where you want it. I do have this and use when I open my pool and need to get debris it from where they settled over the winter. For the...

    How much is a new main drain worth ? Pool Liner questions

    I do have three return lines and two skimmers.... My Dolphin does pick it up but I figured with the main drain it will be cleaner by itself without throwing the Dolphin in. I live in NJ, we drop the water below skimmer line for the winter when we close the pool, so I doubt I wouldn't get the...

    How much is a new main drain worth ? Pool Liner questions

    Hi, looking for opinions and advice (Don't tell my Mother In law......) I had a vinyl liner done 19 years ago when I first bought the house. I knew when I bought the house that the liner was ruined, and deducted the price from the price of the house. It got ruined 3 years later when the main...

    Low chlorine/No free chlorine

    Sounds like it could be Ammonia. Sometimes the CYA over the winter turns into Ammonia. Get an Ammonia test kit from a pet store. I had this problem a few times over the years. It takes 10 ppm of chlorine to knock out 1 ppm of Ammonia. You just have to keep adding bleach.

    Dolphin Premier

    Walls only = increased wall cleaning. Just depends on which manual you get. Check out this link. http://manuals.maytronics.com/mcc-mtc-remote-control

    Dolphin Premier

    Interesting.... I thought for sure it would be the water temp. Try this , on the remote go into the cleaning acrtion and put it on "increased wall cleaning " does that help it climb ???

    Dolphin Premier

    What's your water temp ?? Here in Jersey when I opened in June and threw the cleaner in , it struggled on the walls. Now in the summer it climbs all the way to the waterline. Could be your dealer's pools are warmer than yours ??

    Dolphin Premier

    The aquabot climbed the wall each time it encountered one. I don't believe the Dolphin is programmed that way , I believe it climbs every third time. But it does climb all the way up. My pic just shows that it sucks so much water that it can remain holding onto the wall even without the rollers...

    An M5 update So far I am happy with the M5. It does miss a couple of spots in the shallow end , I touch it up with the remote. The deep end always is spotless. The remote is great , machine responsiveness is amazing. Here's a pic , I moved it up the wall, and took my finger off the remote , it...

    Dig 220 question

    I double and tripled checked the CH it's at 100 , the water sample is a little more to the purple side rather than red before adding the R0012 but def changes to blue at the 10 drop mark.

    Dig 220 question

    I installed a Auto Pilot Dig 220 with a SC 60 cell , two years ago. Really made my maintenance easier and chemical fluctuation with Ph and Alk less frequent. It's been great !! But I am getting calcium buildup on the plates. I just cleaned them 2 weeks ago and they look like this now...
