It's been a heavy pollen year and despite clarifiers, robot cleaner with super-fine basket running constantly, and more brushing than I've done in the last 5 yrs combined, I can't keep pollen off the bottom of my pool (yes I've manually vacuumed to waste as well). Has anyone had any luck...

Thanks - it's raining now so can't verify the leak location, but it's probably just easiest/no brainer to just order GOKIT3 for $30 and just replace the gaskets/shaft seal all in one go anyway, right? Now that I think about it, including a new shaft seal isn't much more time than replacing just...

I have a very old pool that eventually needs some decking repair, but currently addressing issues as I can. Due to settling, I have cracks b/t the poured concrete coping and tile line all around the pool, but specifically looking for advice what to use to repair those cracks in the area of the...

I replaced my old single speed motor with a variable speed motor (V-Green 2.7 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor) last September, including the replacement of the shaft seal, diffuser gasket, housing gasket, and pump lid o-ring. Noticed I now have a small leak that has developed since...

Bumping up to see if anyone has any insight? I've checked the cord from the control unit to the robot and it has some possible wear areas that might be a problem. I'll likely order a new one and give this a try but would love suggestions from anyone with any pointers...

I have an old (1960s) 35k gal gunite pool that definitely has given me "opportunities" for learning over the last 4 years. Looking forward to learning more and getting help with various equipment issues, maintenance, etc. from this group!

Hey all - I have a Polaris P825 that is going into it's 5th functional year. Last fall I had a problem with it not moving when on; since then I've replaced the motor, the brush rollers, brush scrubbers, tracks, and exhaust vents - basically everything but the cord. Once replaced, the cleaner...
