I would want the job redone.

Frogs almost daily. A snake a few times each season. First year we had the pool we had a daily snake visitor.

Does anyone have any experience with the Irobot pool cleaners?

I already tried running it upside down outside of the pool. I also unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes unplugged and still got nothing when I plugged it back in.

The robot doesn't do anything. The lights on the power supply light up.

Our Dolphin Nautilus is not working and it is painfully obvious how much manual maintenance it took care of. A new bot is not in the budget right now, has anyone had success repairing one. It seems you can buy just about every part down to individual screws online.

1. Pool putty is AWESOME. 2. Pool is filling back up now. I fixed my known leak spot in under 20 minutes. It is water tight. 3. Since I had time to spare and an empty pool I sealed every crack I could reach without getting a ladder (Deep end is 11'6" from drain to the top of the tile line) 4...

I am currently pumping my pool out right now, it wasn't shutdown properly after getting flood water this past August (house did not flood). I have a leak on one of my skimmer boxes that I am 100% sure is leaking, I suspect the other is leaking so I am going to patch both with epoxy putty. I...

It's awesome when you see new stuff every day. It is really cool when you think it can't get any better, and you walk out the next morning and your crystal clear pool is some how clearer.

Whoever said rain doesn't effect your chemistry must live in Midland Texas, cause in South Louisiana its a PITA. At least I don't get tumbleweed in my pool. - - - Updated - - - Oh, and Kim, water level is too high for jets to effect much right now, however I am sure the rain did a great job...

I am not to crazy off on TA, our tap water must have high TA. I think I can bring it in line. Its not that big of deal, the water is probably the cleanest water I have ever swam in, and if you look at pictures 30 days ago, it truly was a swamp. Swamp is a term overused around here... I'll...

So basically keep HCL on hand and adjust PH and eventually I will reach an equilibrium? I do plan on adding borax to the pool, from what I understand I should get TA closer to 100 before I do that.

It has rained every day for the past 2 weeks, and in addition squirt guns are very popular with the 7 year old demographic. Also, my return pump only has one setting, it is always rolling the water pretty good. I am going to step it back, I need to get some of the little time setters for my...

TA is 130, which isn't terribly high. I brought PH down to a color that I would put between 7.2-7.5. FC is 5.5-6

You could calculate a dose of to reach the minimum shock level of 20ppm pretty easily with the pool math application. It won't stay at 20 long though with a growing crop of algae. The test kits are helpful, but at the start of your SLAM you will be chasing to keep chlorine above minimum SLAM...
