    Are Dolphins terrible or am I doing it wrong?

    To me it's strange. I got my first Pentair Prowler in 2017 and it ran great until the summer of 2024; back and forth problem. I tore into it and found out it was the motor driving the impeller which is typical. In the summer my Prowler is 80% in the pool 20% on the deck, and 100% inside...

    Free Chlorine issue

    Well, I am not yet comfortable at giving pool advice since I was kinda in your shoes only a week ago. However, I can tell you that you have come to the right place and welcome to the party.

    Oh no I trust the process, just trying to understand how I have been maintaining a FC of 4 day after day by adding 107oz of LC. But once I add 2.5 gallons it goes away. Then again that was with the dpd test

    How long should I wait in between drops. The CC test was 2 drops to clear but after 20 seconds or so a pink tint came back. So I added a 3rd.

    If your robot isn't that old and it decent shape, fix it. Bit if your cord is not great and the unit is showing wear from use maybe it's time. I have lots of good used parts if you need anything

    He's still selling them on eBay. I am almost positive that's what you will need to fix this. If this repair is something you are not comfortable performing, I may be able to help.

    Are Dolphins terrible or am I doing it wrong?

    From what I have learned they go through a self test when you power them on, if something fails it shuts down. Visually you will see the robot move forward, backwards, forward again, then shut down. This is usually caused by hair and Crud wrapped around that impeller. But like you said you...

    Not yet. Eventually someone will need something. Pool store gave me 7 units. I fixed all but these 2. I kept the best one, gave two to family and two back to the pool store owner. I probably have enough parts to make another working robot.
