    Doheny Discovery motor longevity

    Why would you spend half the cost of a new one on parts? Typically if repair is over 40 to 50% of new I just go with new.

    Hayward H350FD troubleshooting

    More troubleshooting. So I get 22 volts at the valve. However, I pulled the plug where u would test the pressure and I have no gas on the bottom side of the valve when it cycles. Plenty of gas on the top side. So I guess the valve assembly is bad. I knocked it a few times but never appeared to...

    Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club

    I have the exact issue. I disassembled my motor assembly and too bad u can't buy individual parts. I think mine might be the control board. Easy fix if I could find the part. The only thing I can find is the entire assembly which is half the cost of a new robot. Thinking I might buy a new one...

    New S300i Issue - Stops Mid-Sequence

    Does anyone have long hair? You likely need to check the impeller. It is famous for getting hair wrapped around it and then stopping after a short period of time. There are two screws you remove under the hood. Then remove the distributor and there is a plastic piece with tabs on top of the...

    Took it back apart and found this motors wiring was loose on the circuit board plug. Seems to test correctly now. Re-assemblying now for the true test.

    Doheny Discovery Help

    Took the motor apart and really surprised at how simply this thing is. A circuit board, two motors and an actuator. I'm thinking the circuit board is going bad. The tread motor will sometimes run and other times it won't. Voltage going to this motor is also a little erratic. Continuity across...

    Put it in the pool this morning and it acted somewhat normal. Ran for about 15 minutes then decided to stop. Power source staying on but robot light out. Any ideas or recommendation to troubleshoot.

    Doheny Discovery Help

    When I run the self test on the robot, ( lay on its back outside of the pool it should run 10 seconds forward and then 10 seconds backwards and then shutdown) it will run forward for a few seconds then stop and then continue to run forward again and not stop. In the pool it runs around for about...

    Help Troubleshooting Hayward Heater

    I also followed the troubleshooting guide by checking low voltage fault, checking for defective transformer (disconnect P4 and measured 24v across pins 1 &2). Also checked low and high voltage output from Fuse board on P5 connector. All checked out okay.

    I have a Hayward H350 connect to a Jandy PDA Aqualink. I have no error codes and the display reads as it should (bo & standby as connected to Jandy). When switched to low speed or pump off the display changes to LO as it is supposed to do. When I turn the heater on I can hear the relay in the...

    Dolphin Quantum

    I contacted Maytronics about this as well. The Quantum is covered by the warranty if purchased online through Amazon or the online retailer PoolExpress dot com.

    Dolphin Premiere vs Dolphin Quantum?

    Interested in this as well. Also, found both of these online where the seller claims to be an authorized seller and honors the warranty. Maybe this only applies to the Cayman and Premier and not the comparable 'S' series?? I have emailed Maytronics to see what they say about that online sale.

    Repair Polaris 9300 or Purchase new Doheny Discovery

    Well after getting the 9300 back (they replaced the o'ring) I put it in the pool and the #2 cycle works. #1 does not. So it looks like I'll just keep using it like this until it dies and then invest in the Dolphin.

    What is reason for weekly timer on pool cleaner ?

    You guys are spot on. I think the Robot Manufactures are trying to compete with the Pressure/Suction side cleaners that have a pump that run on a timer and those stay in the pool all the time. However, as you know a Robot is a lot more sophisticated then the pressure/suction side cleaners with...

    Spotting algae on darker pool surfaces

    When using the TFP method, you won't have algae all that often. However, I do have a pebble pool that is a Medium Color that contains a lot of black pebbles. I do get very small areas of algae from time to time because I don't brush the pool regularly (rely only on the robot). It is more...

    LO CODE on my Hayward Heater

    Was it working before at the pump speed of 1900 rpms? Shouldn't be a problem there I wouldn't think. What type of filter do you have? If the filter has a high DP, (cartridges that haven't been cleaned in a long time), it can reduce the flow to where the heater won't fire. I had a very...

    Caulking expanion joint, DIY tips needed

    I used the Vulkem 45SSL which is a Semi - Self Leveling Sealant in a tube. (You need a quart sized caulking gun). Worked great and is recommended for pool expansion joints. It flowed just enough to level itself as needed, but wasn't so watery that it ran everywhere like a full self level...
