    Dolphin Nautilus C stops working

    We have had the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus model for just over three years. Recently it will stop working about 30 mins into the cleaning. Once you remove from the pool and the water drains from the unit, the tracks begin spinning and it starts back up working. Has anyone had this issue and found...

    Towel storage ideas for outside

    I just added this to my porch this season. I have a dozen towels or so inside mine. It is waterproof, but mine is kept under our covered porch. I also have our sunscreen inside.

    Is my SWG making chlorine?

    Thanks Jim! I haven’t been running the pump 24/7. Just turned it back on. CYA was 40 when I tested yesterday. There are bubbles from the returns.

    Poolside Plants

    How about some of the ornamental grasses to hide the equip? Or even a few arborvitae trees in front of it. I’ve got a similar situation. We planted a couple of southern lace hinoki cypress. I am regretting the placement of my equipment now. May end up building some type of attractive fencing...

    Rust free pool loungers?

    I am in the market for pool lounge chairs. I am not looking to spend more than $100-$150 per chair. Prefer the sling back type that doesn’t require cushions. My main concern is rust. Any recommendations?

    Salt - how much to add

    Thanks. Yes, the pool math asks for current salt reading. How do I determine that reading? My test kit has no salt test.
