    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Thanks all! Margaret returned my email promptly and asked for the number on the back of the control box so they could handle the warranty. Wonder how long this process will take. In a short amount of time I look forward to running the sucker!

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    It has always “clicked” in with ease. I believe it ran the full cycle last time I used it, so not sure when the damage was done. It was not plugged into the outlet this morning when I tried to click it in. Hopefully the EVO itself isn’t damaged and just the control box. I’m sure they will...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    per the recommendation, I received my EVO 614 on March 29th. Love it so far only used it about 6 times and it’s stored in my garage when not in use. I went to plug it in this morning and it’s not working. It looks like the metal on the control port has been fried somehow. I’ve emailed Marina...

    Going TFP for the first time, advice per test?

    thanks @Newdude and @PoolStored for the quick response. I have a “Taylor k-2005 complete (high)” from when I first got the pool. Used it a few times and has been inside my house since. I assume I could start with this one to get going to make sure I’m made for TFP life😂? Am I testing for...

    Going TFP for the first time, advice per test?

    Long time lurker. Had the pool for about 10 years, for the most part it is very user friendly, but tired of buying large amounts of suggested chemicals from Leslie’s. After taking @Jimrahbe advice from the thread, just got the EVO 614 and super happy and want to take the pool to the next...

    HELP! Building Pool next to Pecan Tree - Paramount PCC 2000

    A friend is building a pool next to a pecan tree and one builder has told him the "self cleaning" Paramount PCC 2000 can handle the pecans in the pool. Another builder told him that he didn't think it would be able to handle it. This is obviously a big upgrade and he was curious if anyone had...

    Been Running DE filter with low DE in it....sigh

    I dumped in the DE this morning, thanks! I guess its like with your first born, when the pacifier drops on a dirty floor you wonder if you need to sterilize it or get a fresh one. Second born, you just stick it back in.

    Been Running DE filter with low DE in it....sigh

    My goodness, so far I stink at this! I hope saving a couple of hundred dollars to do this myself doesn't cost me in the long run! Question first: After running the filter for 2 hours with no DE, then for 18 hours (not straight, over 2 days) with 7.5 qts instead of 10 qts, do I just add the...
