Just want to update the thread. I cleaned the contacts inside of the swivel and was able to get a voltage reading at the motor end of the cable. It still didn’t pass the continuity test though. I reconnected it and dropped it in the pool. The clean cycle started but failed after about 5 mins and...

I suspected it might be the cable because I let it get too kinked up and it tended to cut the cycle short when the cord stretched tight. If I moved the unit to give it slack it would continue the cycle and then stop again once the cable stretched tight. The fact that the cable failed the...

Take it apart at the white plastic housing?

I've been having issues with my cleaner not finishing the cleaning cycle and it's now progressed to where it won't get past the self-test. I took it apart, cleaned the impeller (not much there) but still the same issue. I tried reengaging the motor (removing it and placing it back in) - still...

Thanks for the info! I will have him try that.

For the past three seasons, my father has been having an issue with dirt (or something else) frequently gathering in the bottom of his pool. I went over to his house yesterday and he said this appeared despite running the vacuum (robot) this morning. He uses test strips, so I brought my kit and...

Algae was prevalent at opening this year (not sure what happened at closing). SLAM process got water to blue but cloudy. One issue I’m having this year that I haven’t had in the past is that my filter is getting clogged fairly soon after backwash (within 2-3 hours). PSI goes up and return...

Just wanted to update my reply. After speaking with Seth at Marina, they initiated a warranty claim. I dropped it off at Fed Ex yesterday and today I received an email with the tracking for my new cleaner. I was told that because my cleaner was so new, Maytronics would just replace it with a new...

Experienced the same problem with the Active20 I purchased from Marina. Started cleaning only 30 minutes at a time. Then it progressed to not working at all. It wouldn't get past the diagnostic cycle. Left a message for Margaret on Saturday and again on Monday. No callback, so I called again...

Purchased my Active20 from Marina and been using it about three weeks now. Recently, I’ve noticed that it stops short of a full cycle. It maybe runs for a half hour and then just stops. This morning it would not get past the diagnostic test cycle that it does before starting to clean. Filter...

Got it - thanks. I’ll let it run on 1000 overnight and report back.

I don't have too much debris so the skimmer is not heavily relied on. Also, I do not have a SWG or any other features that require excessive pump speed. So I really only need to distribute the chlorine. Looking at the spreadsheet, if I run the pump at 1000 rpms, the max GPM is about 25. So...

I need help figuring out the lowest speed I can run my Hayward Maxflo VSP (2303) in order to get my pool to turn over in a day. I tried using Mark's spreadsheet, but I just can't completely understand it. My pool is about 25,000k with 2" suction and return lines. I have about 232 feet of...

Ugh, that's what I figured. Maybe a garbage bag and something to hold it down will do the trick. Instead of running the skimmer and main drain lines to the other side of the pump, I think I'm going to use a configuration like this (3-way on the left side of the intake) to replace the ball...
