Jim, You know it dawned on me that the behavior might have been some type of test but there is no mention of it in the manual! I pulled the impeller cover and sure enough there was some stuff caught on there. I also noticed one set of tracks had some stuff tangled in it. It looks like...

As the title says, my Dolphin Z5 has stopped functioning properly. When I turn on the power supply the robot rotates right, rotates left, and then just stops and does nothing. Any suggestions? ac

Didn't you have to have the bonding inspection BEFORE the concrete was poured?

Just to confirm, there are 4 wires, right? You'll need 2 hots, 1 neutral and a ground to set this up as a sub panel properly.

Exactly, I wouldn't get too caught up in the voltage drop. The calculations are done based on pulling the full amps through the wires. This generally is not a common condition to be under unless we are talking a dedicated circuit for a dedicated load. Kudos for you for actually getting an...

It's in and running, they are working on the patio around it currently. ac

Since this is all "existing", has it ever been inspected in the past? Clearly it all "worked", no? Are you adding anything other than the control panel/SWG? ac

I've chosen not to aerate purposefully. Instead I just track the pH and whenever it exceeds 7.8 I bring it down to 7.0-7.2 using Pool Math. I've been at it 3 weeks and put my 5th gallon of MA in today. My TA started at 400+ (gave up as I figured I was just wasting reagent. Before this 5th...

I'd be shocked if they even noticed. They will be checking for breaker vs wire size and proper grounding.

If you already have 1/2" conduit run, you already have the wires run too? ac

Jim, Yeah, I waffled about this over and over again. The electrician my PB uses said they do them all 30A. It's "all you need" I was told. I did more research. A lot of guys here say "100A". Well...that was a bit extreme. I've lived in houses that ran just fine on 60A! If my pool was...

I searched my local Lowes and Home Depot. Both had the same stuff. Neither had any MA in the "pool" section outside. They both had "pH down" powder. Both had MA in the paint section. Both offered 31% and 14% (skipping decimals). Both were ~$8/gallon for any flavor. I'm on my 2nd case...

I just passed electrical inspection with 3 #6 and 1 #8 wires feeding my Aquaplus (same panel) on a 60A breaker. The breaker feeding the panel doesn't need to be GFCI. Any circuit powering something NOT in the panel will be GFCI. I have 4 breakers in my panel: Controller NOT GFCI Convenience...

The waterline tile was attached by the pool manufacturer. I believe they simply use silicone adhesive. The grout is silicone. ac

Here are pics of our coping (Techo Bloc Portofino in Baja Beige): Here is the adhesive the PB used: ac
