    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Thanks for the reply. I finally heard back from support and they said that they needed to replace the cable between the power supply and the robot as it seems after replacing the motor there is some failure in communication between the power supply and the robot. I understand from the person who...

    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried different mobile devices including a non Samsung tablet and an iphone. Additionally, it worked previously on all of these devices. Looks like I can get the remote from Marinas which is where I bought the robot. I assume it will at least allow me to control and...

    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Looks like this app and the bluetooth of these are pretty unreliable. I have found tons of threads like this: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/dolphin-a30i-bluetooth-not-working.187148/ I am pretty bummed to spend ~1500 bucks for a high end robot that is supposed to last at least...

    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Unfortunately I don't. I did ask them about that and they just said they needed to check with the application team first. I finally heard back from the support team via email and they pretty much told me to do the exact same thing I had already done several times after months of this issue. Turn...

    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Thanks. Turns out that the motor was bad already so they replaced it. I had to pay shipping and they sent it back. The only issue I have now is I can't change the mode of operation. The app shows its connected but when I try to change anything in the app such as the time or mode it just does...

    Dolphin M500 not working - now mydolphin is not working

    Moved from here. Sorry for pulling up an old thread but after having the exact same symptoms as the OP, in the old thread i wanted to reach out for help. I have an gently used m500 that appears to be connected to the control unit properly and yet it doesn't do the normal self check or power on...

    Running in filter mode causes air in pump

    So on a whim I managed to get the pump to prime. The water pressure is holding steady but there is a loud whine noise when water is running through it. Its odd that the pump only makes the loud whining noise when water is running through it. When it was trying to prime it sounds normal. I...

    Running in filter mode causes air in pump

    I tried again after rechecking everything and still not getting the pump to prime. I would appreciate any help. The pump does not sound abnormal and I have not seen any leak of water under or around the pump. Is it possible to determine if I need to replace or repair the seal and bearings? I...

    Running in filter mode causes air in pump

    I double checked the plugs and I cleaned lubed the o rings. Everything looked pretty solid. I also checked the impeller and it was clear and moved freely. Now I cant get the pump to prime at all. The pump also sounds the same as usual.

    Running in filter mode causes air in pump

    Thanks yes they were lubed but I will double check again to make sure there is no grit or anything that got in there. Yeah losing pressure in recirculate mode surprised me. Now I am getting a bit of a high pitched whine when I get the system started started again so I will check the impeller to...

    Running in filter mode causes air in pump

    Update. After swapping between filter and recirculate mode and running in recirculate mode the pump was again filling with air. Should I be worried about a bad pump? Attached are some better pictures.
