    Dolphin S300I vs Dolphin M500

    I was going to buy a dolphin triton plus - ended up buying the M500. Spent a little more than I wanted, but like the 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty. Do you guys leave the pool covered with the bot is running? What about the pool pump, do you leave the pump running? New to this robot life style...

    I use bromine

    Done a lot of home work on this. Dmh is the binder to make "solid" bromine. Was going to drain the pool and restart, but saw that if you drain the pool, the liner will shrink back to its original size and after a few years it's looses its elasticity so you have to replace the liner. I'm still...

    I use bromine

    I vacuumed the pool yesterday and added 3 lbs of quick dissolving shock which has 55.5% available chlorine. 24 hrs later, water still cloudy - when I tested for bromine, it is off the scale high. I'm still really confused. Can I test for dmh?

    How long have you had the triton for and where did you get it? Not very many replies on this.

    I use bromine

    Thanks for your replies. I'm probably going to have some water trucked in. What kind of time does this buy me? I'm going to buy a robot cleaner - does that help my problem? I thought there was something wrong with my dispenser - when I place bromine pucks in my filter basket, the water looks...

    I use bromine

    Thanks for you help. So how should I proceed? Keep the bromine feeder and buy a chlorine floater? I still don't understand why my bromine levels are low. I know the bromine is dissolving in the feeder - it has to be going in the water.

    I use bromine

    I need some help. I've been using bromine instead of chlorine since I had the pool put in. First two years I had no problems. The last couple of years I'm having a hard time keeping it clear. It is petty foggy now after I swept the alge and cleaned the pool. Having a hard time keeping my bromine...

    Stamped Concrete Deck

    if you get the same sun I do, you'll be sealing every year. I have it nailed down and can tell you how to do it. make sure you get all the information off the sealer the contractor uses - you'll want to stay with the same stuff.

    Stamped Concrete Deck

    That's the pattern I have - pretty close in color too. FYI - I do get full sun so my sealer gets wiped out - first year I re-sealed myself without using traction in the sealer; when wet it was like walking on ice.
