My bucket was sitting on the only step in my pool that did not completely submerge the bucket. Apparently too much of the bucket was above the pool water level and water in the bucket was above the pool water level. As a result, the sun heated the bucket sides that extended above the pool water...

My bucket tests to date have been inconclusive as to what happens with the pump ON vs OFF, but it is pretty clear that there is a pool leak. We had occasional light rain that was not forecasted, and since I filled the bucket to its top to begin with, it probably overflowed a bit over several...

I feel like it is relatively new. I have been noticing the need to add water more often since the pool was replastered about 5 months ago. I have been running the pump 24/7 since replastering. However, I am much more attentive to the pool since replastering, so that could play a role in what I...

Thanks, Herman, I'll take your advice about the frequent o-ring lubing/cleaning. I will try to do that monthly or more often and of course clean the basket at that time too. I have the weir installed at the moment with plenty of water in the pool. With this weir, if the pool gets even slightly...

I'm out of ideas now, so it looks like I am just going to have to live with a non-fully primed pump and deal with air eventually getting into the filter requiring purging. I am removing the skimmer/main-drain diverter from the bottom of the skimmer to alleviate at least a little head. I'll...

Jim, This morning both buttons worked just fine. It seems there was some sort of electrical connection issue in the switches that wore off after many presses. I saw the blinking (once or twice) of the power light today that let's me know the robot is ON. However, this afternoon the Start/Stop...

Just received my EVO 604 today. I'm holding a lot of optimism for it. For the life of me, I could not get the buttons on the power unit to respond. Neither the Mode nor the Start/Stop were working. It was in the pool but I could not get it to start. Out of frustration, I starting forcefully...

For anything prior to starting this thread, I can't say for sure whether there was ever full priming. This is my first pool and I don't think I ever was knowledgeable enough earlier to know when full priming (with no, or just a couple of small, bubbles in the clear dome) had been attained. The...

mas985, Yes, as you said, the filter PSI is a bit lower with the basket. Maybe that's enough to prevent full priming? With the basket (I call it ~26.5 PSI): Without the basket (I call it ~27 PSI): The heater is not bypassed, and cannot be bypassed with the current setup. The underground...
