    Curious what others do?

    We aren't using an extension cord that you would use for Christmas trees. It's an outdoor one. My pool is good size . We have a fence and then a small cement walkway to our patio. The outlet is on the house. So the extension cord is only on the patio. That's enough to have the control box much...

    Curious what others do?

    Hmm it may have. We weren't sure why it died although it had started to act wonky with how it cleaned. We still used an extension cord. We aren't using a regular one that you would use for Christmas trees or anything.

    Curious what others do?

    I just had to replace my previous Dolphin which was a good boy but passed away after almost 3 years. I came here and settled on a Pentair Prowler 920 through Marina pools, spa and patio. They were awesome btw!! So we have to use an extension cord. My pool is out in the yard( where it should be)...

    Expensive summer for me.... My robot broke

    That's a great idea. I did email Maytronics. I did't even think of that. I will check for a reset. I didn't see one, but I could have missed it

    Expensive summer for me.... My robot broke

    I have a Dolphin Triton PS that was recommended on here. I have had it for 4.5 years. It started stopping mid vacuum and now it won't work at all. So I need a replacement. I believe I got it from Doheny's. Is this still one of the most recommended vacuums? I cannot locate it on the website, so...

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    We ended up having it replaced since it went caput. We aren't knowledgeable with this kind of thing and had to unfortunately pay the pool company to put a new one in. Im so annoyed we had to buy another pump after two years. They left us the old motor and we can see how corroded it is around...

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    If I find a leak what do I do with that? Tell the pool company? Do I need another type of seal?

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    My husband was looking for a leak but didn’t see anything . Maybe he missed it. No the area was never submerged. Do I just have the pool company put in another motor? I’m not sure what to do.

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    I don’t know what unions are but will yell my husband. So we should keep the pump inside?

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    I don't know about the 15 or 20 amp circuit. The pump motor is pretty close to the control panel

    Should a pool pump motor last more than 2 years?

    Hi, We have a 20 x 40 in ground rectangular pool with a salt system and vinyl liner. Last year we put in a new salt system per the helpful people on here , so I am back to ask for advice. In May of 2019, our pool pump( Hayward) started making a lot of noise and burnt out. We had our pool...
