I’m impressed that y’all have had your Polaris that long! I thought 6 years was good! I intend to leave any vacuum I buy in the pool, unless we are swimming! Maybe the Polaris is better for that! I’ll check out the 380. Thanks!

My 2nd Polaris 280 (in 12 years) needs to be replaced. A friend recommended the Nautilus, but I’m hesitant. I feel 6 years for a cleaner that stays in the pool 24/7 and is on 2 hours a day, the Polaris 280 ( for $579) is a good investment. Although it has it’s problems (getting stuck a lot...

I am still researching it and will definitely post my numbers and pictures soon (hopefully tomorrow)! Thank you!

Thanks! He also told me to run my pump while doing it! 😳

Oh wow, thanks! I just read this thread…The Zero Alkalinity Acid Treatment It seems that I would use 2 gallons of MA then?

A pool service tech is telling me the stains on my 12 year old pool plaster is scaling and an acid wash using muriatic acid would help! Is there step by step instructions on here somewhere? I just want to double check what he’s telling me is correct! He said put 7 gallons of muriatic acid to my...

Is an acid wash where the pool needs to be drained and cleaned?

I finally was able to put some dry acid in a sock and hold it on the stain for 15 minutes. It lightened it up somewhat, and even more when I rubbed it (with the help of a pole). It didn’t go away completely though. There’s no way I can do that for all of the stains! Is there an easier way, or...

Thanks! I didn’t know there was a difference in Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and dry acid. I also used something called vanish pool stain remover that I got from Amazon the other day. Nothing. And I have super chlorinated the pool too.

Thank you for your reply. I’ve thrown vitamin C tablets down and tried to brush it, but nothing. At first I thought it was from seeds from our Japanese plum tree, but metal out usually gets leaf stains out! And no to fertilizer! 🤷‍♀️

Good morning! Would anyone care to guess what this is in my pool? The spots started perfectly round in the deep end of my pool. I’ve tried metal out, ascorbic acid and brushing. Nothing is touching it. The area has gotten bigger and I’m noticing a few spots now in the shallow end!

My husband took the wheels off and noticed the front wheel was worn, so we switched them and it worked!

Never mind....Hubby and I fixed it!!! I tried to delete my post, but didn’t know how! ?

Good morning everyone! I'm having a problem with my Polaris 280. It's only 3 years old, and I run it for 2 hours every morning (we have a lot of trees)! It was having a problem climbing the walls recently, so I changed the tires. It's doing a "little" better on the walls, but is now...

I bought one (luckily just one and not two) for my pool last summer. Save your money......not worth it!

I wish to heck I knew!

I did just rub a vitamin c tablet on the step and it rubbed some yellow off! Should I do an acid wash? * I meant ascorbic Acid treatment!

Lol....then my kids would love it!! ���� I'm on city water....never had a problem before!

The walls/bottom isn't green, it's in the water. And when you say 'puck', do you mean chlorine puck? - - - Updated - - - I certainly hope so Duraleigh, but I'm not too patient when my pool looks like this! ��

Nothing that I would report as a proofing plume! Nothing happens.

My pool pump was not working recently and my pool went about three weeks without running. I do not close my pool for winter because, living in the south, we still like to sit outside! When i got it to start working again, it turned a greenish/yellowish color. It's not cloudy....I can see the...

Thanks Borjis! Hopefully I just ordered the right motor!! :p

Thanks Buzzard! I've been trying that too, but nothing comes up on the part #!

This is so confusing for a novice! My old pump is 1.5/.19 HP and SF 1.23, so the horsepower needs to be at least 1.845? And the old motor FR is Y56Y....so that has to match too? I'd like to get another 2-speed pump. How do I know for sure it is? I thought that's what the 2 different volts told...

This is the one I purchased from Amazon (the one that died was an A O Smith Century also). A.O. Smith ST1152 1-1/2 HP, 19.6/10.4-9.8 Amps, 1.5 Service Factor, 56J Frame, Capacitor Start/Capacitor Run, ODP Enclosure, C-Face Pool Motor 1-1/2 HP 3450 RPM 115/208-230 volts

I am having to replace my booster pump motor and now the main pump motor! The booster pump motor started whining about a month ago, so I ordered a new one. While waiting on it to come in, my main motor went out!! My question is the new motor is the same specifications as the old motor EXCEPT the...

I finally figured it out!! You just have to work with it until it comes free!! Thanks anyway folks! I hope everyone is having a great summer!

Can anyone tell me how to disconnect the Hayward AX6000HCA Phantom Series Automatic Pool Cleaner Pressure Hose Cleaner End Assembly? I am trying to put a new one on and can't figure out how to take the old one off! Thanks, Maddie
