    Questions for Dolphin Robot Cleaner Owners

    I bought a dolphin Z5 back in 2014. It’s still cleaning my old pool. Fantastic product. I now own a dolphin active 30 that I bought a cpl of weeks ago. I love it. It’s lighter than the old one which is nice. It cleans as good (they are in different pools so it’s impossible to compare apples to...

    Retiring Rita

    I got the active 30 from them a cpl weeks ago. Great purchase. Love the new basket design compared to my old Z5. They have a rebate going on… https://maytronicsus.com/residential/promotions/

    A degree in chemistry needed? ;-)

    Welcome and I don’t have much to add beyond “buy the speed stir with your test kit” it makes testing everything quicker and easier.

    Just a pool noob

    Looking into Getting a Robot

    Just got my active 30 a day after a horrible storm deposited a bunch of debris in my pool. Of course I’d already vacuumed the bulk of it out by hand. But this little guy is just like my Z5 I had in the old pool. Gets the pool crazy clean.

    The TFP method works! Use it!

    I just wanted to post a quick note to praise this forum. My previous pool was crystal clear for the 4ish years I lived at that house thanks to this forum (especially Brush Pup). I never once saw an algae bloom. New home, new pool. I’ve used the TFP method and test kit…been using the recommended...

    Sweet. Thank you!

    Pool #2. South Texas. Waterfront property.

    Hahaha. You’d probably win that bet. Yeah, I’ve got to get on that once the weather goes back to normal. It has a lock as it sits, but it’s only accessible from the outside. However what I’m thinking is I will add a “level lock” smart lock and not install a front Keyed portion. I can’t really...

    Pool #2. South Texas. Waterfront property.

    Promise to DIY, and guess what happens. The issue I see here is the latch is on the outside of the gate. I’ll add a secondary latch so I can control access from inside. I really really want a smart latch (Apple HomeKit). But so far I haven’t found anything of the sort. As a rule I don’t enter...

    Thank you. This build might take the cake for the longest build ever. I’m pleased with the craftsmanship overall thus far. Definitely better than my previous build.

    Thank you! Luckily I’m not that naive. He’s an extremely busy contractor and this is probably his smallest job, so I kinda get it...but I’m still annoyed. I’m procuring a few tools and have drawn the plans for the gate. Next weekend should be eventful unless something else gets in the way. I...

    Still waiting on 1/2 the lights. It’s already phenomenal at night. So glad the fill water here is better than West Texas. Keeping an eye on the pH and it’s nowhere near as frustrating. The gate guy has gone missing in action, so next weekend I’ll be building gates. Sadly I don’t have lots of...

    Currently, I have a rule. “No stupid people”. 😂 once I fall in, I’ll add railing. I will be the first...guaranteed.
