Just got my new EVO....excited to put it in the pool. However it came with his piece....any idea what is is. I can't find any mention of it in the manual EDIT....nevermind, just called Marina and they said it was for the caddy, if I ever buy one.

I would not pay the extra for automation, but the CORE55 (no automation) is on sale for $500 off at DSP. So It would be $100 less than the RJ-60+ Also, seems like a bit easier to install. as the pad, flow control and cell are all in one unit. But I would be giving up the 2.7 lb/day of the 60+...

ok, yeah, fair point.... My current SWG is 1.37 lb/day and it's been fine for 17 years. So I thought the 2.0 lb/day would be more than enough. I suppose I was enticed by the ease of installation of the Core unit. Only 2 cuts and done as it has a built in flow sensor. I suppose there are...

Thanks!....yeah......I still think the RJ-60+ is a great deal at $1599. I was just looking at the DSP site and noticed that the Core-55 is on promotion for $500 off. Is there any reason I wouldn't want to go with the Core versus the RJ? The Core seems a lot easier to install and offer an 8...

So I want to replace my 17 year old SWG with the circupool RJ60+ Last time I looked at this, I was able to add the RJ45 to my cart at DSP and upgrade to the 60 for $10. I can't seem to find that option anymore. Am I missing something or has that promotion been discontinued? Has anyone recently...

Thanks for the response Jim.....I will order it online at Marina. Not sure there is any reason for me to call as this thread pretty much answers all my questions.

I've had a Polaris 280 for the past 17 years. I like it but the pump is the weak link. Over the 17 years, I've had to replace the pump 3 times and it just died again. So rather than buying a new pump for a 17 year old cleaner, I am thinking about replacing with the EVO 614i based on what I've...

Gotcha thanks.....so sounds like this isn't necessarily a huge issue or unexpected after 4 days of operation with the re-charge. When I checked it 5 days ago before the cleaning, it was as expected (all DE and other junk stuck to the grid) because it was accumulating filth for a couple of months.

I cleaned and re-charged the filter on Friday because we had the liner replaced and I had to fill and rebalance the water to prep for the closing. So the DE powder re-charge was only 4 days ago. I just closed up the pool today and when I opened the filter tank, I noticed that most of the...

All good things for me to consider and try......as poolman1 says, it's probably inevitable that some of the DE will get into the return lines when pulling the cartridge. It's not the end of the world as a few straight days of vacuuming cleans up the dust that settles on the bottom. I will be...

I have a timer on the pump....when the pump turns on, it allows power to the Polaris Vac, the SWG and the heater. Is that what you mean? Not sure I understand how that would help solve this issue though.

I must be doing something wrong when I clean my cartridge as when I start up the pump after cleaning (before I re-charge with DE powder), I can see powder coming out of the jets. This has to be old powder because I haven't put the new stuff in yet. So I am pretty sure some of the old powder from...
