I’ve also never noticed dirt dumping back into pool. Maybe with Dan’s finer dust from AZ that is an issue. But for me it hasn’t been, thankfully.

I’ve only run my Evo twice now. But I have not noticed this to be the case. And I’ve had decent amount of dirt/sand accumulated on the pool floor due to some wind and storms recently. Like someone else mentioned, maybe the Evo is kicking it up and it’s eventually making its way into my pool...

Got my Evo 604 on Tuesday but didn’t get a chance to try it out till today. It’s my first robot so I have nothing to compare it to. But I’m very pleased so far. Today was a good test run considering we had some thunderstorms the last day or two and leaves and dirt had accumulated on the floor...

Thanks for the response Jim!

I’ve never owned a robotic pool cleaner before. The Evo 604 or 614iq are appealing to me. But I’m trying to decide what the usefulness of the WiFi/app function. I don’t really plan on leaving the cleaner in the pool for long periods of time when it’s not in use and if you can’t do a weekly...

Got it. Thanks!

I’m sorry, I can’t tell what this picture is trying to show me

Ah yes, that makes sense (pressure vs suction). Didn’t think that one through before asking, lol. Thank you!

Yes, after hearing the hissing this morning, I’m sure that’s the issue. I’m guessing soapy water is a good way to find it (similar to looking for a leak in a tire)?

There’s an old heater to the right that is no longer plumbed into the system. So just ignore that. When I went to take this picture I heard, for the first time since this issue began, what sounded like a hissing noise. As if there’s a crack somewhere allowing air in. I’m not seeing any...

1 skimmer and it does have a shutoff valve. I have bled the air from the filter. After 5 seconds of air hissing out, I’ll get a brief spray of water from the filter. But never a sustained stream of water like I would when then pump is fully primed.

There is some flex pvc used. Where my lines (skimmer, wall suction, main drain) come put up the ground and up to the pump there’s 12-15” of flex pvc on each line with a shutoff valve for each line. Then it’s sch40 pvc beyond that. Weir door is swinging like it should Skimmer water level does...

~20k gallons, in ground, chlorine, sand filter, 1hp pump Began opening the pool about a month back. Equipment seemed fine. Vac’d to waste a couple of times in the process of opening. Last weekend, the pump was no longer able to fully prime after vacuuming. I’ll fill it with water in an...

thanks for helping lay out some options! I’m thinking I’ll cover and close it up soon because as you said, with construction going on pool maintenance will likely be an after thought for me. We had a really green nasty pool at open this year (opened late and old pool cover was ripped and allowed...
