Depends on your jets and how adjustable they are. The 2 jets they ship are easily adjustable to direct the water down. the suction hose floats so surface tension will direct the hose/cleaner in the direction of the water flow, which will leave the middle of the pool dirty. By directing the...

Problem found. At the beginning of the season I had replaced my return jets with a generic return with interchangeable heads. Once I put normal hayward returns on the pressure dropped right back to where it was supposed to be and the suction side cleaner now starts right up. Lesson...

Ok. Cleaner arrived on Wednsday and I had another problem with pump pressure so Couldnt test until I got that repaired. The unit is very easy to assemble. The included pressure gauge is very nice as is the replacement jets they send.. I only received one jet and a quick call to the facory...

Hi, Having problems this year with a high pressure reading on my Filter and reduced suction. I have a Hayward S210 sand filer with 1 year old zeo media. When I opened the pool this year my guage was reading zero so I went and bought a new one. After I installed the gauge PSI went up to...

And I guess thats why you are called CHEMGEEK? :goodjob:

My solar cover broke down and I am waiting for a new one. the local Home depot had the liquid blanket on clearance, $2 each so I bought one to see if it offered any help. From I read elsewhere it doesnt really heat the pool but will help reduce evaporation/water loss at night when the pump...

I ordered the Dirt Devil Pro cleaner on Thursday. Was 279.99 and there is a $50 mail in rebate. As I said earlier I believe they are the same as the Hayward models and went with the Dirt Devil because of the rebate. I went with the Pro version because of the 2 year warranty vs the 1 year...

I switched to ZEO 2 years ago and having been having issues with particulate matter /dust ever since. I plan on taking the filter cover off this weekend to check the condition see if its packed solid/crusting or has channels as I have read in some other posts. I have also seen references to...

I have been researching this model and the Hayward Kingray cleaner, the Kingray is on sale and is only about $50.00 more and comes with a two year warranty. I noticed a funny thing earlier and these two Hayward models looked remarkably like the new Dirt Devil pool cleaners on the market. If...

I ran solid 6 gauge wire( I had a free source) in liquidtite conduit. No concerns regarding ampacity or voltage drop. :)

I wish the hot tub only pulled .06 amps, but the 4K stands for kw and when you divide by the voltage you get 16.66 amps for the 4kw element and 22.9 for the 5.5kw element, But thanks anyways, I didnt think of Ohms law when I asked the question. Given these new calculation I would think the...

I have a defective heater element and am getting ready to order a replacement element. My spa pack is a balboa m7 and the heater is a 4K @240V. Question is can I replace with 5.5K element? Would I gain anything? Lose anything? Break anything? Thanks in advance for your help

Well I tried # 2 & 4 tonight and the steaks come out very tender and juicy. I substituted crown and coke for a bass ale and didnt seem to suffer any consequences :P

weirder and weirder Straight IP address doesnt work either, just tried from my neighbors house( he has DSL) and cant access it from there either. I cant even ping the IP address from the CMD prompt. Also tried from AOL and it comes up with a page not found error. maybe us okies are...
