We've had some power fluctuations recently during storms. During one of these incidents, my pump stopped. The Omni didn't realize that though and just reported that I was happily pumping along at 50% speed. Telling Omni to stop the pump and then turn it back on did nothing. Omni thought the...

Hi all, I believe I have an iron issue. Water starts to take on a slight green tint if my FC drifts up and I've had iron staining in the past when filling from my well. I've got a decent filter on the fill water now, but I'm sure soluble iron is still getting through. Anyway, with a SWG the...

So, started my Active 30 this morning from my phone. About the time it started the self-test, I got an error in the app stating the robot is not responding and asking me to check the blue cable. The little guy appears to be working fine... doing his thing right now, cleaning away. It just...

Might seem a silly question, but does everyone re-plug their DE filters after they drain them? I have visions of local field mice making a home in there over the winter if I don't.

I had to drain my pool this past Monday so the PB could fix a spot under the liner where, apparently, something just behind the dig-out had started to cave in. Some bad fill from the original development perhaps. Regardless, I got a brand-new 19k gallons of water trucked in on Tuesday. I...

Hey, might be a silly question... but how does everyone secure the skimmer collar at the right height so it doesn't "sink" below the deck level when someone steps on it? I think someone recommended silicone but wasn't sure if that was the best way.

So, my dolphin active 30 was outside today when an unexpected shower came through. The robot was on the stand, it was under the eves, and nothing was plugged in so I didn't think anything of it. Just dropped it in the pool though and it started running the moment it was plugged in. Phone app...

It seems Captain Carl (my Active 30) has taken to backing up to walls and, well, staying there. I took a short video to demonstrate... Drunk Captain Carl Video He basically just tries to back through the wall for 15 minutes or so before finally getting himself out, at which point he just...

Hi everyone, Does anyone have waterfalls on a radius portion of their pool and, if so, did you do flat-front spillways or radius-cut spillways? We are planning on putting a combination waterfall/kid-jump-platform on our pool similar to the one pictured here: The spillways currently planned...

Hi everyone, Had a pool put in last year and getting ready to do the decking soon. It's a Fox steel wall in-ground. For various reasons, the concrete company that will be doing my deck is not affiliated with the company that sold me the pool nor the pool installer that company subcontracted...

So, backfill on my pool should start soon. We are planning on waiting until next summer before pouring a concrete patio, so I think we would be OK with just backfilling with the excavated dirt. I think. Assuming a harsh New England winter followed by the typical never-ending spring rains and...

Have a new pool going in. Just wanted to share some pics because I'm new to the forum and, well, why not? It's a free-form roughly 36 long and 22-ish wide. Excavation started this past week and thankfully we didn't hit any problems. Should have had the concrete poured around the braces...

Hi all, new almost-pool owner here. Well, actually, the check cleared so I suppose I own the pool. Just can't use it yet. Having it installed now... they started the dig two days ago and thankfully no ledge or rocks the size of a bus. So, that's a plus. Totally misread our contract with the...

Hello all, I'm getting a new pool installed, well, now. It's all Hayward equipment including a Tristar VS pump, AquaRite, and Universal H. Now, due to a snafu between the installer and distributor, I'm getting the VS Omni version of the pump for the cost of the regular Tristar I had ordered...
