My first robot , the nautilus cc, never got suck on the drains, however, when it finally died, I upgraded to a Dolphin advantage pro . It gets stuck all the Dang time! Maytronics told me to use the clips. I’ve spent gross amount of money on 4 clips. Dolphin advantage still gets stuck all the...

Did you guys figure out your issue? I just installed a brand new one and the display did not come on. the pump didn’t work at all.

I get them occasionally. But not a swarm so I just chunk em. 26700 gal, vinyl, SWG, Hayward Goldline controls, T-15 Cell, 20gpm/ft2 sand filter, 1 hp pump , Taylor K-2006 test kit

We have the big winged ants I think they are queen ants . The swarm every year and always seem to end up in the pool :-(

If you wire as shown then you have by passed the gfci and is only protecting the receptical and not the light. 26700 gal, vinyl, SWG, Hayward Goldline controls, T-15 Cell, 20gpm/ft2 sand filter, 1 hp pump , Taylor K-2006 test kit

Is it outdoors?

That’s good but keep an eye on it .

If lightning surge hit it or it’s an old motor the fact is it’s tripping the breaker and that’s either you have the windings shorted together or to ground and I hate to be the bad news kid but a new motor is in store for you. Depending on your skill level you can replace the motor itself and use...

Sounds to me like lightning got the windings in the motor and are shorting to the motor casing. If you know how or know someone ho has a meter then ohm out the windings that can tell you for sure.

The double pole breaker will be connected to both hot legs in the panel. Via the buss bar behind the breaker. It is impossible to install a double pole breaker , like the one on the bottom and it not be connected to both hot legs.

I’m soooo sorry I just realized that you cannot move that one on the end as it is actually a ( piggy back) breaker. All you need to do is move those two piggy backs over to the right then you would have an open slot for one just like the one on the bottom.

Actually I see a couple things. To make everything code and correct you actually need 3 double pole breakers installed.The pool pump is using 2 single pole 20 amp breakers tied together with a “handle tie”. I’ve seen that done a few times in my years of electrical work but personally I would...

You do not need a new panel. You have three empty spaces in your existing panel. If you move the top left breaker all the way over to the other end then you have a space for a two pole 240. I circled the breaker with blue and drew an arrow over to help explain.
