    Pool project in Central NJ

    No they did not. I started researching a little too late. The rain really helped settle the soil thank goodness and the PB says the deck supports will really help. It’s not 100% ideal but such is life. I will post another pick once the he liner is in.

    Questions for Dolphin Robot Cleaner Owners

    My impression is that, whoever you buy from, its not easy to get a full refund or replacement because it al goes through the manufacturer. Marina is most likely a good retailer that will do their best. Try to do your best for the customer and have the lowest price. That’s why they get so much...

    How do you pay for your pool install?

    We did a cash out refi. Because rates dropped so much the cash was almost free. We actually reduced the length of time also with a 15 year mortgage. It didn’t hurt that home values in my area significant increased to all time highs.

    AquaRite 900 with Tcell925 25k gal

    The details on the Hayward site say this product is good for 15k gal pool. I think the PB game me the wrong unit. Do I have that right? https://www.hayward-pool.com/shop/en/pools/aquarite-900-with-25-000-gallon-extended-life-turbocell--aqr925

    AquaRite 900 with Tcell925 25k gal

    Thank you for the info. Couple of questions... what is the calculation you used? Is it in the pool math section? Also, is running the pump 7-15 hours a reasonable amount of time?

    AquaRite 900 with Tcell925 25k gal

    I was reading all the great info here and stumbled on some recommendations for the chlorine generator. From what I gather a SWCG should be sized 2x actual pool gallons. I have approximately a 21k-25k gallon pool (36x22 free form) but the SWCG my PB provided is a AquaRite 900 with Tcell925 25k...

    Can I attach a yard drain to the waste pipe?

    I’m also in NJ. My landscaper just tied the gutters, ground drain near patio and the backwash from the pool to one drain. He deals with pools often only recommended it because they were all in close proximity. I like that I don’t need to deal with a hose. The pool is brand new so I don’t have...

    I called marina twice, left a voicemail and received a call later that day both times. They seem pretty responsive.

    Dolphin S200 vs M200

    I missed your post... I ended up ordering the Explorer E30 (same as the S200 and Active 20) through Marina Pool. Cost $769 free shipping. Thanks for the tip @Jimrahbe

    Thanks for the feedback. The liner should go in shortly. I’m going to use some water and help it settle after the pool is filled. The PB says that he will fill the area with crushed concrete after the ground settles and that the deck supports will provide enough support.

    Dolphin S200 pool cleaner keeps shutting off after a few seconds

    Jim, For those of us who are less mechanically inclined... Does Marina Pool help service the units if you purchase from them or do you need to reach out to the manufacturer to have the unit fixed?
