    Robotic Cleaners and Fine Dirt

    I just checked out the model you're looking at and it appears it already comes with the pleated ultra fine filters. I'd hope they would do the job, but not sure if the reviews you're reading already have the ultra fine or not.

    Hand Held Vacuum for ledges and spa??

    I have a hand held Pool Blaster from Water Tech. I don't have a spa so I don't know how easy it would be to maneuver the vacuum head around your spa, but it would definitely be nice for your ledges as long as the vacuum would be submerged when reaching them.

    Just bought a Dolphin that I'm not happy with, need advice

    Sorry I took so long to reply. But I believe it's a mix of dirt and dead algae. I had let my chlorine get away from me and had the start of a problem. But I got it killed off and was really expecting to rely on the CC Pro to help me out. My old Haywards would definitely have taken care of the...

    Just bought a Dolphin that I'm not happy with, need advice

    Hey, I actually had read your post on your Evo before! So I've placed the Evo on my list of possibilities if I get this Dolphin returned. To answer your question about filters, the Nautilus CC Pro only came with the screen type filter. I paid extra days later to order the ultra fine set because...

    Just bought a Dolphin that I'm not happy with, need advice

    Much appreciated. I agree with everything you said! I wish someone would explain all of the "mapping" and "scanning to efficiently clean pool" garbage. I've never believed it either. I just really don't think a 2 hour run time for a 16x32 when it's trying to clean waterline is really ever going...

    Summit Heat pump HP code

    Thank you both for your replies. Problem seems to have disappeared after it behaving that way for a couple of weeks. I hadn't gotten the chance to do overnight loss test. I'm guessing the algae issue may have been correct and it resolved.

    Just bought a Dolphin that I'm not happy with, need advice

    I've had two Hayward Aquavac 500's that I was extremely pleased with. Both lasted about 4 1/2 years each. It was discontinued or I'd buy a 3rd! Second one just died, I did a ton of research and decided on Dolphin Nautilus CC Pro. I tend to run robots about twice a week. My pool does not get very...

    Summit Heat pump HP code

    Thank you. I'll try this tomorrow night. By the way, all of my chemistry has been great this year, except my calcium is too high. It's at 400 which is this highest it's ever been. So I just wondered if that could have anything to do with my issue. I'm not going to get around to doing a partial...

    Summit Heat pump HP code

    I have a Summit heat pump that is original to my pool since 2014 build. Normally, if I turn thermostat to ask for heat and I get an HP code I know I need to backwash and then all is well again. But lately it gives me an HP code every time I ask for heat and even if I had backwashed the day or...

    Alternating pucks and bleach

    I relate so much to your situation and question. I use a mesh winter cover and end up draining some water usually 2 or 3 times toward the end of winter/early spring before pool opening. So with all of the rain refills, my CYA dilutes a lot. I do use pucks in the spring at first opening (which I...

    HAYWARD AQUAVAC 500 PROBLEMS

    I realize the original post is a few months old now, but I'm responding in case someone is researching the Aquavac 500 and wants another view. I bought mine 4 years ago. It did break down on me once a couple of years ago and I sent it to authorized repair which cost me shipping to the shop, but...

    Which robotic ??

    Stephen, When I read Jim R's reply above, I had been thinking the same thing. It does sound like your Dolphin is doing what it is supposed to do. Can you elaborate on that? Is the pool clean when it is done, except for the bench and steps? I, too, am under the impression that nothing out there...

    Different TYPES of inground robots...opinions?

    I've been shopping for a robot for my inground vinyl liner pool for DAYS now and I'm burned out. I've read tons of threads here and reviews on retailer sites. Still nowhere near a decision...YIPES! But I now feel like I don't even understand how they work and would like to know if someone can...

    Which robotic ??

    Amanda, can I ask what you think of Hayward brands since you didn't list them in your top two manufacturers, but they seem to be popular?

    Hello...happy to be included and anxious to share

    Hello everyone. I had my inground pool built last year in 2014. It's been like living in heaven. I've always loved water and feel at home when I'm in it. I had an inground pool at my first house for roughly 12 years many years ago, then sold it to build my new house and planned to put another...
