lol I see that. Oh well. I have been just running the cycle with no waterline cleaning (floor and walls). Honestly my walls stay really clean. My last robot just cleaned the floor and everything was fine.

What expert mode patterns did you have the best luck with? On the back and forth one, it works pretty well in my free form pool but it misses some small stuff at the radius where the floor meets the wall in some spots. I'm thinking of trying the one that looks like a star.

Yes my RJ-30 is very low amp. Around or less than 1 on 220 IIRC.

I have the Intelloflo3 with relay board and no touch screen. It was cheaper to buy the relay board and pump separately, and its very easy to install. Its an expensive pump so every little bit of savings mattered to me. I don't miss the touchscreen at all if it matters. I have had zero wifi...

For the short time I had a dolphin working, it made a bunch of noise when cleaning the waterline at the waterfall rocks. I now have a Wybot, and I am concerned the rocks will tear up the scrubbing brush. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Well Dang I stand corrected. Mine looks like yours. The upper housing has been replaced twice and the bottom once, so I guess it’s ok? Honestly I wouldn’t buy this thing again. It’s great at maintaining a clean pool, but any weather event that resulted in a lot of leaves clogged it up fast. I...

I have an MX-8 and it should be flush. I can take pictures for you later. I would return it.

Thanks for the review. I am a big fan of my RJ-30+ but of course I cant control it with my phone like my new pump, so your review piqued my interest. How is the app? I just looked at the price and Dang. The Core Control 35 is more expensive than the IC-40. I suppose I would still need Pentair's...

I believe code requires a disconnect. I just wired it to my Intermatic timer and took off the on/off clips.

What pumps do you have now? No one can tell you how much it should cost without that and pictures. If you stick with the same product line/brand sometimes the plumbing is minimal. Sometimes not. I just replaced a 20 year old Pentair Whisperflo with an Intelliflo and the suction was the same...

I own a small sump pump, it takes quite a while to drain half the pool. I once rented a trash pump and it did its thing in minutes. If I had to do it again I would just rent the trash pump for 4 hours.

If your pump is still in working order I would invest in the salt cell first. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Lugging bottles of LC all the time sucked.

Rounding the edge with sandpaper is good enough. You just need to knock that sharp edge off. I would sand all the paint off that you can. Primer and glue should take care of whatever little bit is left behind. If possible, spin the pipe in the fitting 1/4 a turn or so when glueing. If you are...

My pool has a pvc pipe tee'd off of a hose spigot to fill the pool.

Maybe you misunderstood me or perhaps I wasn't clear. I do indeed have the pump running at 35 percent all day and night, with my SWG on 35 percent. I have it ramp up to full speed one hour each day so my suction cleaner can do its thing, and I get a little extra skimmer action. Once I recover...

PVC is an interference fit, which is what helps it bond so well when the cement melts it. So no, you cant fully dry fit parts into each other. You can for angle and orientation, but not for length. I measure the distance between the end of each fitting, then add the length that the pipe would go...

I just replaced my old single speed 1.5hp with an Intelliflo3 3hp and I really like it. It was spendy, but what did it for me was the ability to control it from my phone, instead of having to play with the schedule on the pump keypad. The wifi app is pretty good and I have the extra relay board...

I hear you. I just feel dumb throwing out a working power supply that someone could use.

Am I allowed to give something away here? I dont see a for sale section. No one on my neighborhood FB page wanted it.

Thanks for the reply. I did a temporary waterproof splice and got it working, but the impeller only worked intermittently. It either needed a new motor or PCB board. Even with an 85 dollar Amazon cable and a 300 dollar motor box I am at nearly 400 into a well used robot so I just tossed it and...

I rebuilt my only other Jandy valve to be sure and checked for leaks again. I could hear nothing on each joint with my ear and water nor shaving cream had any effect. Isolated the suction for the cleaner and no change either as far as swirling bubbles at full speed. I took apart the pump union...

I considered this. I already had a WiFi timer for my 1.5hp single speed. Problem is, the WiFi timer would be useless with a VS pump as it needs power all the time. You would not be able to control the pump speed or schedule thru WiFi with any of the retrofit motor kits I found. I ended up...

The bubbles get bad like that no matter which way I turn that 3 way and the pumps gets louder, so I am wondering if I am restricting the flow too much. I am going to try running it with the cleaner off and all the suction diverted to the skimmers. I woke up today to check the amount of air in...

I should add the only time my single speed lost prime was a clogged skimmer or a suction cleaner hose that came loose. In 5 years it’s never had issues about air without an outside factor like that. Wierd. Thanks for the help. I’m going to keep an eye on it and see about find any leaks. I have...

Thanks for the reply. When you say air leak, you mean suction side? So the bubbles aren’t a huge deal? When I got those with a single speed it meant my pump was losing prime. The only thing I have tried is removing the suction cleaner. When the hoses get old you can hear them leaking at the...

Here’s some videos of what my pump looks like. Pay attention to the three way valve before the pump. I’m getting some small bubbles out of one of the returns. Is this normal? This is my first experience with a VS pump. I did not have these problems with my single speed and do not have...

Yes I did remove and lube the drain plugs. One of my Jandy valves is only a few years old, maybe I should rebuild it too? The very old one before my pump, I did rebuild it. It does have some cracking at the screw holes from someone using power tools on it, but as far as I can tell its not...

Thanks. I guess I do have a suction leak. The pump fills with air after 30-40 min running at 35 percent. I re lubed the strainer o ring and the drain plugs. I also ran water from a hose all over the plumbing to see if the bubbles stopped but nothing. I’m at a loss. The pump doesn’t fill with air...
