Interesting. My EVO 614 should be here by Wednesday at the latest, but could possibly arrive as soon as tomorrow depending on FedEx 🤦‍♀️--but fingers crossed for early delivery! I haven't vacuumed in almost a week since I knew the robot was coming, so I'll definitely watch out for this and...

Sorry, I'm on my phone and your previous reply didn't show at first. Thank you for taking the time to weigh it for me!

🤣 🤣 Perfect! Except I'm a tiny female...need to work on my weight lifting anyway! Thank you!

Thank you for the detailed info! If you don't mind weighing it I would certainly appreciate the info. I tried looking for it online but found conflicting info, shipping weight and not actually the weight of the robot, etc.

Jim, many thanks to you and others who contributed to this thread!! Your review was exactly the detail I was hoping to find. The only thing I find concerning is the possible lack of DIY repair...but I understand why that isn't known yet. I talked to Margaret earlier today and the 614 is what...

Hi Jim, For the robots that stay in the pool, how do you keep the control box dry? Would you please post a picture? I have an outside outlet but I have always just taken the robot in and out of the pool each time, which is a pain. (It is an older model that sometimes works and sometimes...

Working on her tan! 🕶️☀️😎

JoyfulNoise: I've read several of your posts about going from a robot to a suction side cleaner. My experience with a robot has been very limited, but frustrating. I was given an older used robot when I first built my pool, but it seemed like I was always cleaning out the filters at the...

I was just considering the non-OEM board due to price. The boards may last 10+ years for some, but unfortunately I was not the lucky recipient...I got 7 lol. I did all the steps in the troubleshooting guide and I was led to the steps of replacing the main board and display board. I ordered...

I can do basic electrical testing/hookups, but anything else is out of my league. Are they difficult to install or should I plan on hiring an electrician? The SWG is already 120v connection. Suggestions on what type/brand of surge protector? Links would be appreciated! Thanks!

It was a very hard lightning strike last fall that caused whatever happened. I had problems elsewhere in the house from this same strike. I tried the troubleshooting guide several weeks ago, no help. I did order a replacement main and display board combination, which did not solve the...

I have an Aquarite T-9 system that was installed in 2014. There is no automation to the system. The box and cell are both dead. I tried to do the troubleshooting for the box and replacing the main board didn't help. Can I change current system to AQR940 without doing any modifications to...

So what Hayward replacement cell should we be buying?

Does anyone know if Hayward honors a warranty for a new SWG (entire system) when purchased on Amazon? Their warranty page specifies "Hayward authorized seller" but didn't know if that included Amazon. I emailed them but haven't received a response. Background: I am replacing a T-9 cell, but...

Thank you! 🙂

I purchased a generic brand MPV to replace mine that is 7 years old (the handle was hard to turn). Everything about the generic looks exactly the same, but it will not sit correctly. I have the tab lined up and it looks like it is stopping around the top o-ring. I didn't want to force it too...

I thought I had saved a previous thread with this info, but I can't find it now. I have a Hayward S220T Sand Filter. The handle is hard to turn, and the spider gasket is worn on the inside. I had read somewhere that I had to buy the whole assembly (with the gasket pre-installed) but an...

Awesome thank you I'll try that tomorrow. I had thought about a hair dryer but didn't know if that would get hot enough. Thank you!

When trying to close the pool this afternoon, I couldn't get any air pressure to build up. In the process of checking everything to see what I was missing, I checked the drain plug to make sure it was tight, and it broke off half still in the threads (it is 6 years old and not pliable). I...

Yes, I had been doing that with some success for the past few weeks. Good tip to remember for anybody else reading this.

Perfect I will go change the settings now. I changed to T-15 thinking "bigger was better" lol. Plates looked great when I put the SWG cell back on in March (after disconnecting for the winter) but I will check again.

I know I need a new cell (this one is 6 years old), and it will be ordered soon. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to trick the SWG display into reading the correct salt level so it will generate chlorine? It works for a while when first turned on and then it goes to 1600 with a...

How long does the typical pool vacuum hose last? I am beginning my 6th summer, and the hose is stored indoors the majority of the time. It has a few scuffs from the cement, but I noticed a small broken area about 10 inches from the non-swivel (skimmer) end of my hose last night. (So small...

I also have a fountain that collects quite a bit of rainwater. I use a long grill cover for my fountain...it has a drawstring at the bottom that can be tightened around the fountain so wind doesn't get under the cover. eBay has large grill covers for pretty cheap, and I've also had luck...

I forgot to add... Remove handrails and ladders (I usually do this a few days before, at the same time I SLAM just to save time on the actual closing day). Remove the sight glass, pressure gauge, and the drain cap on the sand filter, and bring inside. Move the multiport valve on the...

Yes. Raise chlorine to SLAM level a few days before I close, water to waste just below returns, lines blown from pump, returns capped and skimmer plugged with Gizmo, skimmer basket out and brought inside, filter drained, salt water cell removed and brought inside, dry out remaining water inside...

I am about 2 hours west of you (near Hickory). I do a full close. To me it is worth the day of work to close just to have peace of mind that I won't have problems if we have a power outage. I know many people who don't close, but I'd have a hard time sleeping when we get one of those major...

I do remove my salt cell and store it in the basement for the winter after blowing out the lines. Maybe this is a regional thing? Probably not 100% necessary but it's an extra ounce of EASY prevention!
