Anyone else's Dolphin Nautilus not doing quite the job your accustomed to? Mine worked flawlessly for 3 years and now I need to run it 2 or 3 times to get similar results. I'm considering the replacement of a few minor parts, but not sure if anyone else has insight into this issue. Thanks.

ok thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of running additional landscape lighting and as an amateur I don't understand why we even bother with low voltage considering you have to do deal with the transformer. Something to research I guess.

Hi, I'm interested in installing a few lamposts around my pool, about 15' from the edge of the pool. Does this have to have a low voltage power supply? I've done some basic residential wiring in the past and planned to run a line to my current light switch for my underwater lights or have a...

Thanks for the response. I have no idea where that statement came from. Gettin old!

Greetings, I cleaned out my skimmers today and they're smelling pretty nasty. I've had clear, comfortable water all summer long. Recent tests results are low. Not sure why my chlorine is so high, as I haven't added any additional chlorine aside from what's produced by the SWG. Though, my SWG was...

I did indeed close the main drain valve, but only after reinserting the plug. Seems obvious now that you describe closing the valve rather than fiddling with trying to quickly screw back in the plug. I will look into acquiring an additional plug. I took in the entire pump in today so maybe I...

Well that did the trick. I blew out the skimmer line first for good measure, then easily blew out the main drains after a few seconds. I let it run for a few minutes, detached the compressor and quickly reinserted the pump plug to maintain an air pocket. Going to place a gallon of antifreeze...

Thanks for the feedback. I will check to see if there is a union and/or check pump housing basket. Do you have a link for what I would need regarding a compressor attachment? I have a compressor, but would probably need to buy the fitting.

A large shop vac. Skimmer gizmos for skimmer lines, and one of the returns to blow out main drain

- - - Updated - - - Indeed it is a bit confusing. I wrote in a rush. 1. yes 2. I left it on filter accidentally. It didn't move while i was gone. 3. yes 4. a large shop vac. First from the gizmos. Then once those were cleared, I focused on main drain. This is where I'm encountering problems...

My apologies for posting here, but I'm getting quite a bit frustrated with the line clearing process. Hopefully the attached picture will suffice in helping those visualize what I'm trying to describe. I consulted with my pool company, pool store, and youtube and I'm pretty darn confused. I...
