x2 on checking the impeller. The deepest part of my pool is 5 feet. At that depth I can see the water exiting the robot disturbing the water at the surface. Just a little while the robot is moving & quite a bit when it pauses to reverse. I just noticed something in the pictures you posted...

I'm not sure if that gap is big enough to cause problems. You can either try the upside down test & see if the flap closes completely or just tape it shut, run a cleaning cycle & see if the pool is cleaner. I think electrical tape would be a good choice because it'll peel off without leaving a...

I wasn't worried about it being clogged. Debris shouldn't be getting into that "exhaust" port. If it is then you have a problem with the drain flap or debris is somehow getting past the filter basket. The later isn't very likely. The debris shown in your pictures is so small it may not get...

There's a port on top of the robot where the water exits. Are you seeing any debris on the grate that covers this port?

Let someone confirm but if you have line voltage between L1 & ground and also l2 & ground then the breaker is fine. Problem is if both have 120 volts then you must have 240 volts between L1 & L2. Something isn't adding up!

S200 is doing a terrible job keeping the bottom clean this year. It's not getting to a lot of the areas. There's a black flap that has fallen off a couple times & one of the scrubbers are coming loose. I'm wondering if the loose scrubber is causing the cleaner to move in a large arc instead of...

1 1/8" 12 point socket & a long extension or two is what I use. Of course that's assuming it's not glued in.

I believe ammonia & nitrites are the most important. I've had aquariums before but never tested the water & I'm betting that caused the fish to have a shortened lifespan.

for checking freshwater aquariums? I seem to recall some members having aquariums & I'm about to setup a sixty gallon tank. Since being a member I now understand the importance of testing & want to do this right.

The prescription bottles from our pharmacy fit perfect. You'd have to cut the bottom off to adjust with the pump running.

I think your best bet would be to make a tool to rotate the adjusting knob. That appears to be the same jet that's in my pool stairs. If so that knob is 1.25". Maybe a short piece of 1 1/4 hose or pvc. Take the jet to the hardware store & see what you can find.

Try taking off the PVC piece that the faucet was screwed into.

Tighten the nut under the handle as you're turning the handle open & closed. You want to feel some drag on the handle but not so much that it's difficult to open & close. If it still leaks then you loosen the screw holding on the handle then undo the nut & turn the handle to remove faucet...

I see said the blind man.
