Hello All, I think i need to SLAM my pool, the chlorine in the water just wouldn't stay. Poured three gallons yesterday. And now its down to 0.5. In just over 28 hours. And this time i think its mustard algae. I blame the recent duck infestation, i think they pooped on my pool and made it full...

Eeek... due to work pressure, this one is on hold. Will do it this long weekend!

M5 totally is. You cant even buy it online. I got mine from PoolSupplyWorld (my fav website) using Paypal Credit and paid it off in installments. Cant beat that! If you go to the Dolphin website, it would mention if the model is backed up by warranty if bought online. You just have to find...

How To Determine Why a Pool Pump Won't Prime - INYOPools.com How to Identify and Correct Air Leaks - INYOPools.com

I want to remove the whole fitting. Let me go home post lunch and will post a pic. To be honest, all of them are different. Looks like they were replaced at different times, and the previous owner just replaced it with whatever was at hand. I will have to get one of the strap thingies!

Hello Everyone, I was trying to replace all of my old eyeball fittings. I was able to replace only one. All the others are pretty much jammed in. Any tips on how to remove them? Looked up youtube and all but could not find much info on this.

Yeah. That is what i did. Moved the dial, not the arm! Tried to move the center arm long time ago, when i was a pool newbie. Realized it was not the right thing to do!

Hmm... I have to look for that. I will try to find it out tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Ah! Is that supposed to run, the last time when some pool guys came to install my main motor, said its not supposed to run. P.S. I think i got the timer to work properly now. Thanks. Will see tomorrow if it turns on at the right time.

Replacing a motor isn't hard. But the problem is getting some of the parts off. Due to water and corrosion, some of the bolts are stuck so tight, you need to be Hercules to take them off. I ran into the same problem. Had to call the professional, even they were not able to do it. They asked to...

Ok... so i need to set the center arm to the current time on the clock? The photo was taken sometime around 10:30 CST.

Hello All, Can you check this photo and let me know what time my pump would turn on. Normally i adjust the left dial, the right one i guess is for the second smaller pump that i have (which i have no clue what its for)! I want it to run from 11:00 to 15:00. But i woke up at 7:30 today and...

4 wheels would have been a good thing. With 2 its a problem.

I am all for the caddy. I have a shed, but with rain and all that, i just pull out the machine and drag it inside.

Not sure onn that range. Just check out some pool websites and see what good options are there. Most top notch ones are 1000+. Like Dolphin M500 is close to 1400.

A lot would depend on your budget. I have the DX5+S cleaner works like a charm. One thing i can definitely suggest is that get one with a top filter access. It would be a great load off your mind.

Just an update, contacted Sunplay, "We dont provide techincal support"! Ordered it anyway, as it was cheap! :)

PoolSupplyWorld/Leslie/Sunplay. Surf the three sites. Order from where it is the cheapest. I have ordered quite a few stuff from PSW. Awesome service. All of them good to be honest. Leslie is a little pricey!

Well, its not a mandatory thing, just wanted to change it to a new one, while i was changing the grids. Thanks, i will check with them.

Hello Everyone, So i am changing my DE filter grids. Four of them have tears. Some major and some minor ones. So i was thinking of getting a new air bleed assembly as well. Just wanted to know if this is the right part? Also do i really need to change it? Pentair Internal Air Bleed Assembly...

Well it happened during winter. So I wasn't bothered to get it out immediately. Over the course of two months it was clean again.

Thanks! It would a lesson on how disassemble and assemble that thing! :)

Haha! Same boat as me! I used my Dolphin robot to clean it, takes time, and you need to run it almost daily. But gets the job done! Probably, 30-40 runs i would say. I ordered a new grid today. But my pool now, is clear white. More work for the robot!

Ordered a single piece for now. My pool is all milky white now, with all the DE powder that leaked out! :)

Well I was thinking of ordering from poolsupplyworld. They were having a sale now. Plus free shipping. Pleatco PHG3060 Filter Cartridge for American, Pac-Fab, Hayward, Jandy, Astral, Waterway, Universal Grid

Hello All, I cleaned my filter, and noticed what everyone here confirmed (January), one of my filter grids has three small tears. At least that is what i can see. There maybe more on the inside. But not sure. So just wanted to know, that can i change just one grid or do i have to buy a whole...

K-100 is an excellent kit. If you already have 2006, it should be fine. I have the 100, with the speed stir. To be honest, I have not opened the speed stir in 1 year of testing. Its still brand new and in the package.

Well 90-120 was something that was written on the Taylor kit if remember it right. That's why i maintained it around 100. There was one ugly round of rain about 1.5 weeks ago, it lasted around a 2-3 hours, but did more damage than previous 9 months of heavy rain. Completely messed up my clean...

Hello Everyone, Today i tested the pool water. My TA has dropped to 70. Over the course of the year, this this is the first time TA has dropped below 90. I try to keep it around 100. What are the reasons for the drop in TA? Is it some sort of a warning sign? Or am i overthinking it and its normal?

I might as well change all of them to black! Ordered 5! :D
