Thank you AJW22. I do a bit of electrical work around the house and use a simple tester to determine if the power is off, but I don't have a multimeter. I'll have to pick one up this week. With regards to the line & load Q, I believe the line is on the left side of the relay and load is on...

Thank you for the reply Herman, but the issue is no power at the pump. When the SVRS kicks in, the display is still active and you have to simply clear the message...there are periodic false shutdowns with an SVRS...try vacuuming your pool with this system. Anyway, looking for expertise on...

After several days of 0 degree temps here in Tx and rolling black outs in Feb, I was finally able to obtain plumbing parts to fix the known breaks and turn the power back on. When we realized the black outs were going to be sustained (several hours at a time), I flipped the breaker at the box...

I have a hidden SSID, and I was impressed that the app did grab my SSID and configuration from my iphone...not certain if I had to key in the PW or it grabbed that too. I did need to physically take the main controller within 3 feet of my router to ensure a stable connection and complete all of...

The wifi connection to the M600 has good range in terms of my phone to the m600 base, but it's still a bit spotty. I like that there 's a blue tooth connection as well. Sometimes a just use that to pick up the robot when it's finished. The filtration capabilities to me is it's strong point...

Hi Pirate Roberts-The M600 has a top loaded filter. Very easy to clean. Turn over and hose each side. You can also remove the filter grids too. We just had a heavy Texas rain this week, and a lot of debris from my yard and my neighbor's live oaks got in the pool. Ran the M600 today. It...

I suppose it would be easy to test this by taking a sample in the first 6 inches while the pool is circulating and then doing a sample a day later.

It was several years ago now, so don't recall the exact number. I used the blue test kit myself and then also took a sample to the pool store.

I read or heard somewhere that CYA rises to the top in a pool after it has not been circulating for a period of time. After leaving my pump off for a day, I overfilled the pool to push the top foot of water out of the overflow drain, and it worked to lower my CYA to the bottom of the range...

Yes, thanks OLY. I do have the extended test kit...my next step is to get the chemistry aligned. Thanks for the links.

Nice specs. One area I would've changed for my build is the shelf area. Mine is about 6" deep and 4ft wide. In retrospect with the hot texas summers, I should've cut back on the deck area and made the shelf longer to fit seating. It's nice to just sit on a lounger in the pool with your feet...

Jumped on this thread after you replied to my post. Oh the agony and angst of a new build. Been there myself. Love how it turned out. you'll be the magnet on the block for pool parties. May I suggest North Texas Palms on Highway 380 in McKinney if you want to add some cold hardy palms to...

Thanks for the additional info Rmontgomery. Will try the ultra clean mode too. Having fun trying different things with it right now. I don't expect it to be as dirty as it was after the winter, during the summer. Basket seems to be about double that of the new polaris IQ, and filter much...

Just picked up the M600 on Saturday after reading some reviews here. Thought I'd share my take for others looking to purchase a new pool cleaner. -Set up was fairly easy and intuitive to put the caddy together. To connect the app, I needed to move the control unit closer to my router to get it...

This is excellent feedback Manny. I was reading the circa Apr 2018 comments on their website and no swivel was the #1 complaint...perhaps they had LY model. I guess now the real question is are those 3 priced the same.

While we're on the subject of SWG PH and talking of changing some of the statements, I think the below needs to be corrected from the SWG pros and cons page. Everyone, and I say everyone I know with a sandstone or limestone coping and/or pavers has very noticeable exfoliation on a regular...

Thank you Manny for the in the field feedback. And after a bit more research on Maytronics site, seems robotic cleaners really take a lot of babysitting. #1 complaint is still the lack of the swivel, and I looked at all high end models. I see you have the A30i. When I did the Maytronics...

Thanks for the feedback on the A20 Bacevedo, I'll definitely research this one too. I will note that I had none of those hassles as you did with the side suction unit. It was plug and play and I never gave the pool cleaning a second thought with it. I do admit having to brush the sides from...

My booster pump for my side suction Polaris died, with no hope of revival. The new 30% more efficient pump is $400. Looking at a robotic cleaner as a replacement. Don't want to go too cheap and loose out on simple but seemingly important features like a swivel cord, the right brushes...

Thanks for the spreadsheet Mas985. You've provided something that has eluded me since I put my pool in last August. I couldn't find it on the Pentaire website, and when I send a message to Pentaire tech support, they told me to install a flow meter. I appreciate it.
