@Kaptain aha! I wasn't aware Maytronics made anything for Pentair

@Kaptain, I'm confused. Are we talking about a Pentair unit or a Dolphin?

This thing is less than a year old, and I store it in a deck box when I'm not using it. So it's practically brand new. And the third time I've had a Dolphin do this. Frustrating.

The impeller isn't spinning at all during the self test. I can spin it manually very easily, so my initial guess would be an electrical problem.

@Kaptain I opened it up and turned it on. The wheels and treads turn in both directions, as you said, and the impeller doesn't spin at all. Should that spin as part of the self test? I'm very comfortable with repairs, and the internals on these are pretty simple. Do you have a link handy for...

I'm on my 4th Dolphin. The first one worked fine but I sold it because the basket was too small. I then bought a Triton PS that didn't work at all, so I got a warranty replacement. The second one worked for a few months, then started turning itself off after about 10 seconds - another warranty...

Yeah, very brown inside the spa jet pipes. So should I be adding a chelating agent when I add water?

That's the conclusion that I've come to as well, but I have no idea how iron would have gotten in. I'm on a municipal water supply and I don't add anything other than salt, CYA, and muriatic. Maybe I got a bad batch of salt?

I just took off one of my spa jets and found that it's completely coated brown along with the inside of the pipe. There is also brown discoloration on the jet face, but only on the bottom. The top seems to be bleaching off from the sun. The color scratches off with a fingernail. I'm soaking it...

I know this is an older post, but I'm replying in solidarity. I too am in Austin and I've been fighting aphids for over a year. We had to spray the back yard again this year and I'm again fighting pool chlorine issues. I posted about it last summer and no one on the forum seemed to know anything...

I have a Hayward VSP with a Prologic that I control from the AquaConnect app. The app stopped responding last weekend, and the Prologic is throwing a VSP Comm Error. The pump does respond to commands from the Prologic keypad, so the error message is confusing. I tried power-cycling the Prologic...

@JamesW I'm going to let them try to resolve it before I go nuclear. It's been over a year, so I don't think I can file a dispute with Visa. What else would you recommend?

Yeah, I just talked to them on the phone. They sent me the wrong cell. Not sure they're going to honor it, though

@JamesW I got it from PoolSupplyUnlimited. I guess I don't know for sure, but they seem pretty legit. My invoice says it has a 3-year warranty.

Might not be the right thread for this. Mods, feel free to move it. I'm on my second failed Hayward salt cell in 5 years, and I'm beginning to seriously question whether salt water is worth it. It's cost-effective in theory, but having two cells fail in 5 years kinda kills that theory...
