I'm not sure if the volume of antifreeze that was poured into the pipes at closing is even worth a second thought, but I'll be opening myself for the first time soon, and am just thinking that I really don't want this stuff to go through the sand filter at all. I used a total of 3 gallons, so it...

We have a Dolphin, so we call it "Flipper." Now I remember one of my favorite childhood tv shows every time I drop it into the pool!

Thank you, Jim, for your reply. To follow up on this situation and just let others know...it never hurts to check on whether something like this will be covered under the product's warranty. Maytronics quickly replaced the power supply after just one phone call!

Congratulations on your new home and pool. I'm pretty much a rookie here as far as the pool maintenance goes, but I'd recommend asking the seller to stop by soon after closing to give you a crash course on the pool's equipment and maintenance. The water looks nice and clear, so maybe it's...

We had a lightning strike very close to our home the other day. Only a few small electronic items were fried by the resulting power surge, but unfortunately one of them was our Dolphin. Being the curious person I am, I opened the power supply and located the small fuse that is "hard wired" onto...

Wow! Skimmer socks it is! Thank you!

I've checked Amazon for hairnets to help my filtration. There are many listed, so I'm just wondering which one is the hairnet of choice for this use?

Tests have been running good, but I just realized today that my OCLT is probably inaccurate because I did not turn off the auto-chlorinator. I am on my way out now to test and get my benchmark for the OCLT and will post results shortly. I already turned the auto-chlorinator off!

And it may just be, but I’m seeking help from the pros here. Thus is is a brand new build pool, just started using it last weekend. Wednesday night, we had a nasty storm that blew a lot of dirt and debris into the pool. (Still just dirt beyond the pool deck. I’m waiting for my fence to be...
