I threw my triton in the pool like usual and went to check on it later to see it wasn’t moving. Going back to the controller the “interval” lights were all blinking. Quick google says unplug and plug. Tried that. Same blink pattern. Unplugged again And took the robot cord off and plugged in...

Fellas, Lately when I fire up my corner spa from my iAqualink the AGS light comes on the heater. If I cycle the "power" on the button of the heater off and back on usually the heater fires up and the AGS light does not return. Sometimes it takes two cycles, but generally one will do it. What...

I'm late on the filter cleaning, but my pool guy took apart my CL580 and rinsed the filters, took the o-ring off and wiped it down and wiped down the channels on the top and bottom of the shell and liberally lubed the o-ring and put the top half back on and put the band on again. We tried...

This thing has been a literal nightmare. The swivel has blown apart twice and now it seems like it just gives up. It's only been through 2 full pool seasons. I went through the diagnostics where you flip it on it's head and plug it in. The fan spins and the wheels move backward and forward but...

Are the Dolphin controllers that run the robot waterproof? My Aquabot Breeze 4WD just has a single button (Power) and I guess an internal timer and whatever else but it is water tight. I see some of the higher end Dolphins have a few more buttons on them and in some cases a display. Are these...

Controller led blinks fast. Robot doesn’t move. If robot is unplugged from controller the LED does as expected.... guessing my aquabot (which hasn’t even seen 2 full pool seasons) motor or wiring/cable is the problem. Anyone else ever see this ?

Anything else I can try aside from a cleaning for this thing ? We’ve had it 4 years and I don’t know how long the previous owner had it ... so it may just be done?

Well I tried to fire up the built in Spa with heater for the first time in a couple years and was met with a High Limit light. I've already got the two limit sensors on order but does anyone here have a walk-through on replacing these? I know where they are from a diagram I found but I'm not...

So the aftermath of Harvey for me is a semi-messed up roof and a messed up pool pump. I went outside to try and fix it Monday but every time I kicked the pump on it immediately tripped a breaker. So I let it dry out more and tried it again yesterday, success it doesn't trip the breaker. BUT it...

The top connection on the volute is spraying water when the pump is on but is a trickle when it's just the main pump. It looks like it's coming out between the orifice and the threaded pvc bit. Is there an oring under there that gave away? This volute is clamped on not bolted on. I'm not sure...

My sensor is reading 25,000 ppm of salt. I turned the system off and took the sensor out and one of the metal contacts looks burned up. Will the new sensor with just the 2 contacts and the little control box work? My firmware is 11230A05 and the manual doesn't mention this explicitly. This...

This weekend we pulled my polaris out of the pool so the kids could swim and the net was covered in thick green algae along the seams on the net (the perimeter) The rest of the pool seems OK, why isn't my chlorine killing off this algae? I have a new net on order while I let this one...

I've been having trouble with my Jandy 1400 SWG not showing up on my PDA at times. Today I cleaned the sensor up a little and while tinkering I noticed the flow sticker on the cell and the flow stickers on my plumbing contradict. Since the cell comes after my heater I know that's the return...

So I switched to a robot cleaner about a month ago. However it already has to go in for repair so I dropped my crippled Polaris back in the water. Firing up the booster pump with my controller I don't hear any noise or feel anything on the return pipe for the pump after about a second. The...

Has anyone had their breeze come apart at the swivel? I've had mine a month and a week now and when I put it back in my deck box I found the swivel had come apart at one end and the wires are pulled out of it.

Obv the robot itself is water proofed. Is the transformer? We've been having sporadic showers throughout the day and I haven't tossed my robot in the pool since this weekend because I don't want the transformer to get rained on. Are these safe to use in a sporadic downpour? Perhaps I should...

For whatever reason the PO or Pool installer removed all 4 floats from the leader hose on my Polaris 480. They didn't bother to leave them for me, but the unit is getting stuck on the steps a fair bit. Along with a torn debris bag and stiff swivels (there may only be one on the hose, I...

My Polaris 480 is 8 years old. I was trying to diagnose why it's always stuck on the steps with Polaris. Come to find out that I'm missing all 4 floats on the leader hose (I'm not the original owner of the house/pool/polaris). It also seems I only have one swivel on the entire hose (which is...

I think I managed to slug my plaster. There's a lighter colored area about where i pour my acid at the bottom of the pool. Problem is I pour in front of a return jet... So how did it slug up and sink? Also will my plaster be ok?

I think this is metals staining. It doesn't brush off and appeared out of nowhere in 'streaks' in areas. FC: 5 (Target) PH: 7.2 (lowering TA right now which is why it's lower than 7.5) TA: 90 CH: 450 CYA: 70 Salt: 2800 Borate: N/A (not tested) Is there any way to remedy this? I think my...

My pH was 7.5-7.8 this Saturday when I tested. I just tested it 30 mins ago and it appears to be 8 or maybe 8.2 (these color comparisons kill me) My pool has a built in spa that overflows so I imagine that's doing aeration. I would think it would be ideal to try and keep the pH steady, so I...

As a way to 'sock' my CYA, can I use ladies stockings? I use them to keep humidity beads in my humidor and I have some spares that could be used to 'sock' my CYA granules. Does anyone see any reason against this?

Where to go from here? FC: 1-2 PH: Over 8.2 (I'm working on this) TA: 120 CYA: 30 CH: 450 Salt: 2800 According to pool math my goals for TA should be 60-80 for TA and 250-350 for CH and CYA 70-80 Basically every one of my parameters but salt boinked.

I'm just a beginner, but I've read you can get MA at the hardware store. Home Depot it closest to me, though I see a lot of mention of Crown from Lowes. This from Home Depot (if it works) is 2 gallons for under $11. A better deal than lowes and it seems to be 20 Baume (31.45%)...

While I wait for my TF-100 kit to arrive I have a few questions. 1) Is it OK to get a cup or glass of water from the pool to bring it in to run the battery of tests (if I want to run all the tests?) 2) I assume it is ok to use the same testing vial for each test as long as it is rinsed well...

While I wait for my TF Test Kit to arrive: Nearest I can tell : Total Hardness might be 400 FC appears zero? PH seems above 8.4? TA above 240? (it's super blue not greenish blue?) CYA might be 30-50?

I used PoolMath to calculate how much salt I need to get up to 3000 PPM. According to PoolMath to go from 2400 to 3000 PPM I need 65 lbs for 13,000 gallons. I added 40 lbs in the shallow end with the SWG set to 0% and brushed it toward the deep end and left the pumps run for a couple hours. I...

So we bought some umbrellas today to go in our 3 umbrella holder ports that were put into the deck when the pool was built. Like these: http://www.poolpartsonline.com/p-740-volleyball-pole-umbrella-holder.aspx Today we set two of them up to see how they'd look for my daughters pool/birthday...

It's been some time since I've used the spa. We had friends over today and I put the thing in spa mode and noticed the level steadily going down. I went and checked the Jandy valves and my return valves were rotated what I think is the right way.. but I was losing spa water like I was in "spa...

Is it possible my Polaris 480 is staining my plaster? I have several spots around the pool bottom that looks like something sat there and made a round spot. You'd think the Polaris wouldn't have anything that could rust/stain.. but I had it out last week to change an o-ring and let it sit on...
