... then to the alternating lights, as if the program is over. Robot does not do anything except pick up a little from wherever it sits. Called a local dealer and they said - 19 times out of 20 this is the power supply or motor or both, that it's an older unit and that Polaris does not make it...

from the photos listed on the Marina website - the S200 has a handle and the A20 does not. vs

I'm sorry to hear this. One of the reasons I purchased the ColorQ was that specificity and, in particular, that I would not have to do color comparisons.

Yes - I am using a ColorQ test kit. I presume this is drop testing. PH is 7.2. TA is 96. No autofill. I have not added water to the pool in this time period.

pool is 24,000 gal in ground gunnite pool. on 5/23, shortly after opening, I tested FCL, TCL, PH, Alk & CH using chemical test kit. Alk was 68 AND CH WAS 77. I added about 5.5lbs of baking soda, which was all I had on hand, to bring Alk up and ordered more along with calcium hardness...

Hi all. Here's the story. Pool was completed late summer of 2005 by Anthony Sylvan. Surface is Pebble Tec. At the time the installer had a company handling openings for them. The company opened the pool, ran the filter and told me to do nothing but brush the surface until they come back...

Hi all, Each of the past two years I noticed small beads on the pool floor and in the cleaner towards the end of the season. Not recognizing them, it took me a bit to figure out what they were. In each case it was the mineral cartridge, which had split a bit on the side allowing the mineral...

Thanks for the welcome. I am happy to be a registered with TFP. The numbers are good - except for the hardness ... which has been down around 50. Not sure how the water could have become this sft at opening. Alot of rain ... but I didn't think rain would be on the soft side. Anyway - I did...

Subject describes it all. I can't seem to figure out how sand is at the bottom of my pool since I have a DE filter. Any thoughts / opinions would be appreciated. Also - my pool cleaner (Polaris 280) picks it up but can't hold it. It comes right back out through the catch bag. Side question...
