    Guidance needed

    Thank you! There are currently no tabs in the chlorinator… The ones that the pool company put in have been used up. I went ahead and turned the chlorinator off completely. I’ll have them stop refilling it. I have these two test kits, but I’ve never used them. Thus far I have just relied on the...

    Guidance needed

    Greetings! I’m a relative newbie when it comes to pools… We finished ours up in the fall last year… Very long story short, our pool builder died just after we shot the gunite… I GC’d it from that point forward. Learned some things along the way, but still have a lot to go. We started it up with...

    Likely a dumb question, but is it necessary to turn the emergency freeze protection on for the waterfall pump?

    Heater not responding to temp changes

    Something wonky is going on… from the Pentair app on my phone, the heater will respond when I turn it on, but I cannot adjust the temperature. I’ve got to go to the heater itself to do that. I don’t see how this would factor into it, but last week I was getting an E05 error so I changed out the...

    What's the best pool cleaner?

    Thanks for the input guys. Jim, I'm not wanting to take my M600 back necessarily.... just wanting to make sure it's the best option before I take it out of the box and use it... sounds like you'd give it a thumbs up? Matt, after looking at my plumbing, it looks like my pool was plumbed for a...

    What's the best pool cleaner?

    So we just finished building our pool last fall. I have it plumbed for a pressure side cleaner, but my pool builder (who has sinced passed away) later recommended to just go with a robot. I bought a Maytronics Dolphin M600 but have not taken it out of the box yet. I'm considering taking it...

    Pump 2 Communication Lost

    Jim, the pump address was the issue… both were setup with “1” as the address. I changed the waterfall pump to “2”, then reset the system and that resolved the communication error. WOOHOO!! Thank you! Regarding my pool builder… It's a long story, but he passed away just after we shot the...
