My son and I went way overboard with calculating the depth of our odd shaped pool. We took a long PVC pipe and marked off feet and inches. Then we held it in the water every foot or so along the length of the pool, taking a measurement of the depth. Then we calculated the volume of each of...

I thought of that thread when I read this.

My FIL has the Hayward C7030. We cleaned the cartridges this weekend. Taking off the top was not hard and it isn’t heavy at all. It’s made of fiberglass. As far as weight of the cartridges go, they were also not heavy. Instead of 4 super long cartridges that would span the length of the unit...

I have had a Nautilus CC since Spring of 18. It does a great job in my pool, much better than my Hayward floor vacuum did before it. That said, in dusty AZ I found I had to purchase the fine filters because the robot would just blow around the dust and dirt instead of actually removing it from...

It was all just safety warnings. Nothing specific to the model.

The Yes, this is what a lot of Google Image Search led me to as well I was striking out when looking in Hayward’s site because I was only looking at the residential filters. Turns out it’s their commercial one. Thanks!

Helping my FIL get the pool at his new house in line. Anyone know the model of this Hayward cartridge filter?

Oh thank you for this clarification. I had stopped adding MA to at my return since installing the SWG. I assumed the mixing of MA with the fresh chlorine gas would be a bad thing!

That seems pretty common around here. People paint their pipes tan or black.

Does the S200 really not have a repeating schedule function? My Nautillus CC has that and I like it.

Awesome, thank you! On my Nautilus CC there are little doors, with smaller holes than the holes on the S200, that get clogged. Major PIA. Looks like the S200 has many more holes on the bottom as well, I suppose to help with suction when climbing walls?

Can someone post a pic of the bottom of an S200 series cleaner? I have a Nautilus CC and the little doors on the bottom get filled with needles. It's a PIA to remove the doors and pull out all the needles with my big sausage fingers.

Put needle nose pliers in, expand and then twist?

I ran into this issue too. My model of SWG isn't listed, and the 24 hour output of 2.1 LBS doesn't match any existing ones. In the end I picked a SWG from the list that produces 2.07 LBS/day.

Wife just got home. After laughing at me, she has deduced that it’s probably oils from the leaves and needles that I cleaned out.

Yeah, it definitely is rust colored.

Cleaned out the Dolphin Nautilus CC as I do most mornings. As I was hosing out the filter basket I noticed that my fingers had some brownish dye on them now. Any clue what caused this?

This link says that Queen Creek does the same rate averaging: https://www.queencreek.org/home/showdocument?id=29637

Another reason to drain now instead of wait for fall: Your water rates are based on your average usage per month from Oct-Apr. At least that’s the way it’s been everywhere I’ve lived in the valley (Scottsdale and now Mesa.)

I wish my skimmer were more effective. This season especially the basket is getting full more quickly. I think the neighbor’s trees grew a lot since last year.

Well the basket handle on my current cleaner broke. My fault, I went to close the lid without pushing the basket handle down first. The main reason I would like to upgrade is I think additional brushes might help pickup the debris more efficiently. We have a lot of leaves from surrounding...

My current cleaner is fine. One rolling brush. Gets the job done. Would something like the M500 be an appreciable upgrade?

It's trivially simple to setup a Shopify site, then blast out targeted ads on Facebook. Target the ads to people who have posted about their pool, maybe have liked TFP or other pool sites, and bam, you have a chance at a bunch of suckers willing to send you money.

The paint measuring buckets sold at Lowe’s or Home Depot work well for this. I have a couple and they go up to 64 oz in 8 oz increments.

West Mesa, basically Tempe, here. My father and law and I installed a SWG on my pool last weekend. Dead simple, only took us a few hours and most of that was the wiring, not the PVC work. If you really want a pool company to do it, give R&R Everclear a call. Before moving here, my in laws were...

A&M Corson’s is good but you’re right, the closest one to you if you’re in north Phoenix would be Old Town. Some Fry’s Marketplace stores have 10% chlorine in 2 gallon packs for $5.99 with a Fry’s Rewards card. Slightly cheaper per gallon than HD or Lowe’s, and maybe you can have Fry’s do...

The controller for my Dolphin robotic vacuum comes with the same precautions. I ended up mounting it below a ledge on our deck to minimize exposure to direct sunlight. I would think that mounting you Circupool controller into a weather proof enclosure wouldn't be a problem.
