    Thump noise coming from my skimmer basket

    I filled up the skimmer area to 75% full this morning, and now I see it completely dry, therefore and "ergo" there is some suction going on. That's what she said

    Thump noise coming from my skimmer basket

    Too difficult to replace them, but I like the 2nd paragraph

    Thump noise coming from my skimmer basket

    That's what I assumed, and air is getting sucked every 2 seconds = thump every 2 seconds. Here's the pad

    Thump noise coming from my skimmer basket

    Hello and warmth to all My water level is below the tile line as I await rains some day here in Miami. As a result, I obviously turned off the skimmer suction valve when running my pump. However, when the pump runs, sucking 100% through the main drain, I hear a constant "thump" or drumming...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    And so Maytronics suggested that I visit a local Pinch a Penny that repairs, and that would save me the shipping and wait. Sending it to Maytronics in GA, would have cost me $40 shipping + $65 diagnostic fee + and $35 return shipping + the cost of parts. I took it to said store, and in an hour...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    Good morning Thanks to instructions and videos sent by Marina, I tested a good DC voltage at the end of the blue cable. The inside and impeller are clean of any debris, and it looks new. After careful reassembly, I rolled the unit on its back and turned it on, but nothing happened - no tracks...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    The impeller is clean, but now it won't power on after plugging in the controller and pressing the cycle 1 button. I am out of warranty, and Marina sent me videos to check the voltage of the controller and blue cable; I will do that tomorrow. In doing several attempts of: unplugging...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    Thanks PS I left it unplugged and cleaned the impeller. I put it back in the water, and it does nothing. What can I start troubleshooting before calling Marina Pool & Spa, if anything? I do not see the usual blue light that came on when turning it on.

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    well, perhaps I will get to do this right now. The robot just finished a normal 2 hour cycle, and I wanted it to go again. So, I powered it off, back on, and press the 1 button. I see that the blue light in the back comes on briefly, and then turns off and the robot doesn't move. Does that...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    thank you Pool that is stored Is there some indication that something might be stuck in the impeller? Poor suction and blowing up of water? I don't want to take it apart in vain, not that it's overly difficult.

    The little plastic "legs" on the Betta SE are too short

    I just wrote them, and a bot named "Ged", friends of Geddy Lee, replied asking for my address and order number. He agreed to send longer pegs, legs, or whatever they're called.

    The little plastic "legs" on the Betta SE are too short

    Hello all When my water level gets down to a certain level, my SE gets stuck on the top step. Sure, the white pegs are extended, but they only have one click option and descend so far. Has anyone come up with some longer homemade option to lengthen them? Yes, I can obviously add more water...

    Any maintenance steps on Maytronics Explorer 30 cleaner?

    Hello Besides the habitual cleaning of the basket, are there any routine maintenance steps for this cleaner? I read that it's good to rinse the basket space with fresh water, but is there anything else to help preserve it?? Thanks

    Am I using the right ph tester?

    Hello all I have been using this to test the ph for years by putting 5 drops of r0014 into it. Rebecca from tftkits confirmed that it was ok to use years ago, I think, but I simply double check with you all. Also, is it bad to have too much salt in the pool? My rj45 shows 3700, and I'll do a...
