I tried the “motor disengagement procedure” as shown at Maytronics Explorer E30 Dead on Arrival 15 mins in, looking better so far

So, I got a new E30 a few months ago, and starting to use it. Having some issues. It has ran a full cycle mabye once or twice I think. Normally, I start it and it runs backwards for a few seconds, turns on the vacuum pump, goes forward a second, then stops. Sometimes it resets itself and...

Thanks… I guess I was expecting it to run 100% of the time, just at lower power - and that it would always read something. Glad to see I wasn’t going crazy. And, yeah - I know I oversized it - but I was hoping for extended cell length, as well as being able to shock it somewhat properly with...

So… I recently installed a rj60+. Opened my pool a few days ago. Added 16 bags of salt (22000 gallon). I installed it vertical, with the cord coming out the top. Flow switch is correct, etc. I’m having some curious readings from my SWG for salinity. When I turn it on, it stays pretty...

Searching should be my friend... https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/filter-vibration-noise-is-driving-me-crazy.28878/

Howdy! I have a Hayward Cartridge Filter (XStream) that has been giving me issues lately. Essentially, when I run the pump on high, it emits a loud vibration/noise from what seems to be the upper part of the filter. Now, there is not really any moving parts here. I've opened it...

The composite I was looking at originally was the Moistureshield Vision / Cooldeck... but they were unable to do anything. So, Ipe it is! Keeping the basic design as I had before... Pictureframe (including the on the steps) will be Cumaru. Interior boards and facia will be ipe. Decking to...

I looked into cement board, at the recommendation here… not really offered anymore. The main US provider had some issues with flaking and delaminations, and I think is in class action territory. IPE, tigerwood, and Brazilian teak are the 3 woods I’m looking at, depending on the answer from the...

So… I ordered some composite decking (MoistureGuard Vision, pretty high end stuff as far as composite goes) back in April, fully expecting a 2 month delay, even though lowes said 3 weeks. Either Lowe’s or MG dropped the ball, and I find out today that my order was likely cancelled. (Something...

Yes, last year - and it helped some - but I didn't have much time between filling the pool and closing it up for the winter. (I cleared things up this spring with Asorbic Acid... and I think the sequesterent I used last year carried me over until now when I over-dosed a bit with the chlorine)...

So, I added chlorine 2 days ago - and either my inline chlorine was turned too high, or I got a bad sample… but regardless, my chlorine shot up. (I added 121oz of 7.5, 21000g pool) Pool looks green but clear now - I filled with well water. Had a similar problem last year before I closed it...

Thanks... I don't consider them local (CLE is my nearest city, but I'm out in the boonies - Menards is about a 2 hour round trip with the roads I have to take) but it's good to know that I can stop there should I ever be in the neighborhood - or make a trip special if I need to....

So, I'm new to owning a pool (installed late last year)... and the recent chlorine shortage is making me want to ditch my tablet feeder/bottles of chlorine and go straight to SWG. My plan was to get my CYA to ~30 or so with stabalizer, then raise it to ~50 or so with pucks, and then use...
