    9995872-DIY vs. 9995862-DIY for Dolphin Premier cable replacement

    When my Dolphin Premier stopped moving, and I made sure that the impeller was OK, I finally had a Maytronics "expert" check the Dolphin Premier, and the drive motor had died. He installed a new one (ka-ching!) but also noted that the cable seemed chancey. Sure enough, the Premier ran for a few...

This happened once before and TFP experts suggested a problem w the impeller, which WAS the problem (broken) and a new impeller replacement had it working fine.

    Earth upheaval beside pool

    Not many people will have this problem, which is why I couldn't find a thread. A large live oak tree was felled during Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, and the roots lifted up an "earthball" with the roots of some azaleas. This has created a space right beside the wall of the Gunnite pool...

    Removing PCB of Hayward SwimPure to remove/replace delimiter

    After discovering my Hayward chlorine generator wasn't producing chlorine, when salt level, pH, CYA, etc. were all OK - I found the amps were way too low & had it checked by my regular pool guru, who said that the board was burned out & needed replacing. (Only 1.5 years old!) Checking online for...
