    Replacement light suggestions

    Looking for suggestions for a smart type switch to feed both lights. I have enough cable left to mount a new water proof box beside the breaker box so looking for suggestions. I will most likely feed them off one wire and not leave them separate. Mainly want to be able to set a timer and change...

    Bought a 2nd robot

    The motor seals leaked and ruined it. Maytronics only sells the whole assembly for around $450. The year is failed I left it in cold water ( probably 40 ish) but not sure if that impacted it or not.

    Bought a 2nd robot

    For those you dont know y Pentair SE died after 3 years like a lot of others so went back to a Polaris 360 and have no complaints. Although it does a better job with leaf's the pool never looked at clean and I saw a " refurbished " nautilus cc Plus for $650 and it shipped from Maytronics. Plan...

    Thanks I sent inyo an email because I see a couple ones and I’m not sure what the difference is. But I see the junction box it’s only about 25 feet from my light

    Replacement SWG cell for Circupool Edge 25

    They offered me a discount on a new cell and charged my card but never shipped it..I had to get my CC involved and was resolved but a huge pain..Inyo had their unit on sale so I bought it for not a lot more then the Cell cost. Mine wasn't too hard to replumb so wasn't a huge deal

    Replacement SWG cell for Circupool Edge 25

    The threads on mine even brand new never felt smooth. Almost like they were cut off slightly. My cell died early and they screwed around and wouldn't honor the warranty so I chunked it and bought a Inyo system.

    Replacement SWG cell for Circupool Edge 25

    When I had the Edge 40 I had issues with it leaking. Had to lube the threads and use a pair of big pliers and give it an extra 1/8 turn

    Replacement light suggestions

    My old light sockets are eroded and pretty much shot. Is my only option to pull the light and cable out and replace them? If so what the best affordable options? Probably going to sell the house in the next 2 years. I can do wiring so not against converting to 12v

    Follow up - preparing pool for vacation

    You could bump your CYA up to help. My FC was struggling to stay around 5 ( been out of town a lot ) and haven’t checked my CYA all year. Tested it and it was 30, raised it to 80 and the 2 day later with out any other changes my FC was 10. Option B is just get a couple gallons of pool chlorine...

    Questions about Salt Pool

    I used to change my pH all the time and finally read here let it find its happy space. Mine goes up to about 7.8 and really doesn’t climb anymore so yours may want to stay around 8.0. Mine still climbs above 7.8 but takes several weeks and still never goes that high. But for the new surface...

    Advice on replacing polaris 360 or installing booster bump for 380 or some other cleaner?

    I also get a ton of leafs and like my 360. I had a robot for 3 years until it died, it was great for getting up the small dirt but can't justify the cost for something that may break after 3 years. Plus it didn't do any better with leaf's. I was lucky and found a " used" 360 online and it looks...

    Warrior SE died what's next

    Haven't been on the forum for a while. Came here hoping to erad " wow they finally made a water proof robot" but sounds like not much has changed. My Polaris is still chugging alone, doesn't get the fine dust but good enough and its repairable ;)

    Fill-o-matic leaking at the hose

    I wondered that also, only model shows the hose screwed directly into the body..I tried that and it isn't leaking so maybe I will just stay with that :)

    Warrior SE died what's next

    Mine still sprays out some but in my experience the more water I can force through the insides the better it works.. I have a huge pump and have even tried cranking the pressure up but didn't help a lot. Over all I am happy, it cleans good and I can fix it if needed.. I liked the Dolphin but...

    Fill-o-matic leaking at the hose

    It had a 90 degree elbow and I can't get the water hose to seal..Tried a new water hose gasket and it seems to keep getting worse. Has anybody else had a similar issue or know if it requires a special washer?

    Warrior SE died what's next

    Sorry have been dealing with a family emergency the last few weeks I don't run my pump at a higher RPM but divert water returns from thje spa and pool to the spa and cleaner. For me it seems to be more about volume. Mine has a built in " cleaner" fitting in the pool so was an easy installation...

    RPM’s to keep Flow light green

    You will be shocked at the junk that comes out. I use the wide spread spray and keep it moving. Also helps to have a wall to lean against. I tried it with my gas one once and it kept knocking it over :)

    RPM’s to keep Flow light green

    If you have a low power pressure washer it will get the stuck on junk out. The " don't try this at home" part is you need it to be low power and a wide spray and spray down. It can damage your filter so use it on a old spare. I bought a small electric ( $49 amazon open box deal over the winter )...

    SWG Install - To DIY or Not?

    It’s a very easy installation. Also a good time to “ redo” and plumbing you don’t like. you won’t regret it, it’s not only easier then hauling jugs of bleach around but the water feels smoother

    Converting new pool to SWG - procedure/best practice needed

    Also you usually get it cheaper if you buy over 4 if I remember. I would buy a couple extra bags also

    Just converted to SWG

    If your pump is energy efficient just run it at the same speed longer. We have a spill over spa also and I run mine 24/7. Energy cost with newer pumps isn’t bad and I enjoy a clean pool. If you want to reduce the speed you may be able to partially close your other returns. I pull from the pool...
