If anyone is interested I might do a run down review of the EV105 rechargeable pool vacuum. The one I’ve got is branded BWT PK Turbo but there is other brands such as Voltera that are identical just a different colour. This cleaner is basically a battery powered impeller that you can attach to...

Hi there, Just discovered this "Automation Mode" on the Dolphin and struggling to get it to do anything. I have a Dolphin X40 Plus that uses the "Advanced 230" model power supply/controller. If I have it switched off (still powered on at the wall) and hold the button down frequency mode...

Hello, Before anyone says so...yes I did this all wrong and should know better :) I might have made a minor (or big) error in adding 1Lt of 12.5% liquid chlorine and then a few minutes later trickled in 500ml of liquid acid through the filter basket. Noticed that there was brown coloured...

Hello, As part of our pool renovation I'm looking to replace the pump. Currently have a Viron P600 that based on its statistics pushes out a maximum of 307Lt per minute under optimal conditions, minimal head etc. The previous pump was a beast and was expensive to run but was pushing 3X what...

So, pool has been drained and the entire pool is being resurfaced with new pebblecrete. The artificial rocks are being resurfaced and textured around the perimeter also. While the pool is drained the lights are being repositioned as well as channel cut for additional pool lighting/wiring...

Hello, My Aquabot 4WD Breeze Robot finally died after many years of service. If anyone wants spare parts from this in Australia let me know....power pack, wheels, baskets etc. re Francois

Hello, I have a new Australian model Dolphin X 40 Plus which is pretty fantastic. Have been using the My Dolphin app and when this is operating I only have the ability to "Manual drive" and "info/links" on the dashboard. The screenshots of the app show options for scheduling, cleaning duration...

Hi there, I've managed to source enough Boric Acid for my pool, however I have no way to measure borate levels and getting hold of anything to test this seems near impossible. Is it safe to assume there would be no borates in my pool water and shoot for 50ppm? Any suggestions? F

Hi there, I've read that pH measurements are inaccurate when shocking a pool. Is this statement for my Taylor test kit only or does this also cover a calibrated digital pH meter? Cheers F

What causes CYA to drop? In the last week I've gone from 77ppm in my SWG pool down to 40ppm. Pool is currently being slam'ed and I'm trying to maintain 70ppm for CYA and 28ppm for FC as per the table at Pool School - Chlorine / CYA Chart. Pool is in a lot of direct sunlight and it is coming into...

Hi guys, Seems to me the new model Aquabots with "swivels' are not really anything that actually rotates. Has anyone looked to install a swivel inline on their Aquabots? Would be a neat aftermarket alternative to fix tangling and negate purchasing a new unit :( F

Hi there, I need to replace the wheels and/or tires on my Aquabot Breeze 4WD. The ones supplied with my unit where foam that simply wrapped around the wheel and these are now worn down. Looking at photos of the Breeze 4WD online it looks like there are also alternative models with knobbly...

Just noticed recently that my Aquabot 4WD will sometimes stop within an hour of being used in the pool. The cycle is supposed to run 3 hours. If I go and press the start button again on the power supply it starts up again. Any ideas what would be causing this? Cheers F

The use of Copper Sulphate based Algaecides seems to be fairly common in Australia, however it is also expensive to purchase. I'm thinking this must be a fairly basic combination of Copper Sulphate and potentially Citric acid to chelate the copper. Does anyone have any knowledge of what the...
