    Converting to VS from SS

    I too am about to switch to a VS pump. My current 1hp motor is going out and a rebuild turned into seeing salt and corrosion inside so I talked my wife into a VS replacement. Anyway I decided to use Ai to check some comparisons between cost and everything and was pretty impressed with the info...

    Is this pollen or Algae

    Some good info here. I have definitely got lazy about test since in the past my SWG keeps everything running smooth. When I get back home I plan to do the overnight test. I did get the pool to slam on Sunday before I left and turned my SWG up to 100 to try and maintain it but my wife didn’t...

    Is this pollen or Algae

    I returned my Seagull 6 months later under warranty and they prorated the refund. I ended up buying the Scuba S1 and it seems to be working well.

    Is this pollen or Algae

    I have vacuumed once by hand, running my robot just about every day and used filter socks for a few weeks now. I am definitely getting some pollen build up in the socks but just concerned because it keeps coming back on the angled walls. I do have a new robot, use to have a dolphin 200 that...

    Is this pollen or Algae

    I thought my “pollen” problem was because I was having trouble with my robot but I am starting to think this is an algae. This is the first time dealing with this in the 4 years we have had the pool. It brushes away like it is pollen but it seems to keep coming back to the same areas (sloped...

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    Are you able to share the firmware upgrade process? This may be helpful for many of us now and/or the future.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    Could someone who has returned their Aiper for warranty and received a refund advise on how they provided the refund? My Seagull was sent back today and I want to get the scuba ordered but I am afraid their refund will end up being a store credit or something crazy.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    I am still waiting for Aiper to send me a return label (for my Seagull) since Wednesday. Anyone have experience on how long it takes to get the label and for the return process. I want to order the Scuba S1 but I am also worried about how they process refunds. I originally ordered my Seagull...

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    I have the Seagull Pro and it keeps getting stuck on my main drain. I have been following your mod but before doing to much I saw their website said to call them for an accessory if having problems with getting stuck on the drain. Of course they told me they have no accessories and and advised...

    Repairing the impeller motor of Dolphin S50

    Any chance you remember what size brushes you ordered when you replaced the motor brushes? I got it running again with a little modifying and with how cheap those brushes are on McMaster-Carr I may try them out. My neighbor is in the lighting business and is going to talk with his supplier to...

    Repairing the impeller motor of Dolphin S50

    Yea my clean out fix didn’t last long. It seemed to clean a full cycle but then when I tried to start it again it is back to failing the initial test and won’t run. I read through most of your long (lol) thread, it appears I will have to figure out something new and not leave it in the pool all...

    Repairing the impeller motor of Dolphin S50

    I know this is an old post but I wanted to put my update here. My dolphin wouldn’t pass the initial in water test. It went forward then backwards and then stopped. I followed the directions in the video above and also found a ton of black dust (similar to brake dust) inside the motor. I blew it...

    Snow / Ice tonight

    It is nice I drop a tablet in about once a month so it doesn’t turn green like the neighbors pool and it is easy other than draining some water from time to time. No PIA here I am a transplant and miss the snow. The nice thing about here is the roads clear themselves in a day or two so no real...
