Hi All, On the advice of many here, when my barely 3 year old Polaris Quattro Sport broke yet again this month, I called up Marina pools and ordered a new robotic Dolphin unit, specifically the M600. So far, it's really been a bad showing. Power supply booted up, got the app installed, linked...

I really haven't been able to find this exact issue in my searches, apologize if it is out there, but I'm having issues with a 2 year old Polaris Quattro Sport. The past month or so it constantly wants to drive to the deep end, and won't drive out of the deep end. That is the furthest point...

Hi All, I started a similar discussion 2 years back, but since I've done more investigation and am hoping for a little more help if possible. Completed my pool in early 2020, it's my second one. I have a pretty complicated setup, and I'm struggling substantially with my primary pump, an...

Hi all, Im on my second season of a new pool and seem to be having trouble with my IC60 Intellichlor keeping up. It’s about a 35k gallon pool. Every single time I test the FC level, its 0. I have the IC60 running at 100% for 18 hours a day. My CYA is around 45. I’m adding 1-2 gallons of bleach...

Hey all, Last summer I completed my Owner build of a 900 sq ft free form pool. I have 4 IntelliFlo XFs and my main filtration one has given me issues with flow since day one. At 3400 RPM in pool mode, I can’t get north of 70 GPM no matter what I try. Main pump services pool and spa. Pool side...

So recently started up my new pool. Have 2 IntellifloXF VSFs and 2 VSs. The GPM readouts I'm seeing from the pumps do not make any sense to me based on the pump curves. For example, my Spa booster pump is showing approximately 11 psi on a manual gauge on return side - that should be about 23...

Hey All, I know I've asked a bunch of questions leading up to this, and we finally got started. About 5 years ago, I did an owner build on a 700 sq ft inground with spa and waterfall. The process was a nightmare, but the pool turned out great - few things I would have changed. We then moved...

So we are finally close to starting our OB infinity pool. Did an OB at our old house, but far less complicated. This one will feature: 800 sq ft upper Pool 250 sq ft lower Pool/basin Spillover spa w/ 8-10 jets Infinity edge Grotto and several other rock waterfalls Slide Bubblers. My...

So I think we're getting close to pulling the trigger on a new infinity pool. It'll be an OB (done one before, but this will be more complicated). Wanted to see if anyone had feedback on the plumbing design/general equipment? Main pool will be approx ~800 sq ft w/ 75 sq ft spillover spa. Will...

So we're getting close to wanting to start on our new pool. One of the ideas that keeps popping up is for us to do a two tier and infinity setup. The lower would be the deep end, upper the shallow end. Probably 600/600 sq ft or so for each with a raised spa. Our yard slopes down 5 feet or so...

Hi all, Been on here for awhile. A few years ago we did a pretty elaborate owner build at our old house with a lot of help from here and have since moved. We have plans for a two tier infinity edge pool, but the piece we can't answer is whether a pool house makes sense. We have a full...

Hey everyone, So I bought a Polaris 9400 and it's worked pretty well. Went to run this weekend though, and having trouble. Press a cycle button, the cycle lights up, cleaner does nothing. About ten seconds later, the cycle lights flash. Took cleaner out of pool, and I can hear that it...

Hey everyone, So I've had our Aqualink for about a year now, and finally trying to get to the root of solving one of the major issues with it. It very frequently (say once a day) goes offline and you can no longer connect to it via Web, App, or PDA. The only way I've found to fix it is to...

Hey everyone, After a month or so of initial troubles with getting the right gas supply to my new Jandy LXi heater (plumbers kept undersizing it), everything worked great. That is, until it rains. Every time we get a decent rain, the heater won't ignite for several days, no matter how many...

Hi everyone, So I just installed my new iAqualink module as an add on. I am able to turn my devices on and off from online or the mobile app, but there are no menu or OneTouch buttons. Essentially I have nowhere to set programs or change settings like I do on the PDA. Any ideas?

So, I finally got my pool running today. 400k Jandy Lxi Heater has been here about 6 months. Does not seem to be working. Starts up, but after a few minutes says Ignition Fault. I can see the ignitor lighting through the sightglass, but no flames. Any ideas?

Anyone have flagstone on their tanning ledge? Especially if you live in a frost prone climate? Plaster/tile crew highly advising me to avoid it in Maryland. Says stone will absorb water and crack from frost in the winter. Love the look though. Thoughts?

Hi all, Finishing up my O/B pool here in the next few weeks. Have been debating finishes, but probably leaning towards a Diamond brite finish. I love the Wet Edge Primera, but it's over $12000 for my pool, vs $7000 for DB, and I just don't think I can justify it after all I've spent. Unless...

Currently working on an Owner/Builder pool in Maryland. Plumbing it out right now. How deep do I really need to run the plumbing back to the pad? I was currently just going to go about 8-12", enough room for pavers + base. Is that acceptable? Frost line is 30+" here, and I can't really...

Hi everyone, Planning to get started on the dig for my 750 sq ft freeform + spillover spa. Would like to hear feedback on the equipment I'm planning - 1x 3HP Intelliflo (Alternative is 2HP Jandy EPump) - Circulation and Spa pump - Not looking for super powerful jets 1x Jandy Waterfeature Pump...

Hey everyone, I have found a lot of useful info on this site while I've spent the past few months researching for my build. I'm putting in an inground gunite pool. Technically I'm going to be the GC, but my excavator, plumber and layout guy has done many and is helping significantly. That...
