    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Bought mine yesterday, delivering tomorrow from Marina for $799 out the door. First robot and thanks to everyone here for your insights! I’m hoping that Jim will report in 5-8 years from now that his needs to be replaced. 😀

    Can I add CYA using pucks?

    Just a thought, is your pool information setup in gallons?

    TF 100 Alkalinity test

    Sure enough, it did go darker red with another drop. Thanks for the help!

    TF 100 Alkalinity test

    I need some advice on this test. Is the test complete when it "just" turns red? Or, when it stays red? I get to drop number 7 of R-0009 and it turns red and back to green. Drop number 8 turns red and then clear. Drop number 9 goes red and stays red.

    Can't seem to increase CYA

    I think it washed out the overflow pipe. I did the same a few days ago. Started with 55 and added enough to go to 65. Then it rained the next day and I ended up at 50.

    Is SLAM inevitable? (YES...it was...5 Days of stress complete now)

    Congratulations on getting it done! Thanks for sharing your experience. It will help me down the road if I ever have to slam.

    Is SLAM inevitable? (YES...it was...5 Days of stress complete now)

    I'm a newbie around here, yet I am freaking out with you during this battle.

    Signature test

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I am beginning some adjustments by increasing cyanuric acid from 55 to 70.

    Hello! I had a swcg pool and spa built last fall and have been educating myself about pools ever since. I think I've been doing a fairly good job so far, but I am so glad I have found you guys. I look forward to picking your brains about how to do it better.
