If you aren't happy with Maytronics, then try Polaris. There are some off brand Chinese ones around too, not sure if they do a good job.

You said it works when you plug in into your house, so there is something on the outdoor circuit that is causing the device to error. There are many videos of Error 10 on these robots because it is a communication error between the robot and the controller; it happens when the wires get frayed...

This is how all Polaris robots are. You have to buy a fine mesh filter, which will get almost everything out of your pool. While it is a mild annoyance to switch filters, I find that the fine mesh filter does a great job getting all the fine silt out of the pool.

One thing to note comparing the Polaris vs the Dolphin is battery size. The Polaris has a 9.6 Ah battery, while Dolphin is 5 Ah. There will be a significant difference in cleaning time and possibly suction power as well.

Check each pin in the connector for continuity using a voltmeter to check if the cable is the issue.

If it is not still under warranty, check the credit card you used to purchase it. Many credit cards offer a 1 year warranty extension.

I would be concerned with them trying to excavate when the ground is so wet.

M600 was around last year too. Top of the line model.

Yes the CH in mine is way off too. I retested with the drops and some strips I had after I saw that result and their result is way lower than either. Their CH result was 179, my drip test was 320 and the strips showed closer to that range too.

I think the 25 ml is the standard...that is what the Taylor kits all use. The 10ml is different, and the results are somewhat different as you would expect since the ration of water to reagents isn't exactly the same.

Yes I am using a speedstir. Results are slightly different using the 2 methods...I wouldn't really act on either of the results so I guess its not a big deal.

I have a TF test kit and have a question about the Calcium Hardness test. The video instructions post a test with 25ml of water/20 drops r-0010/5 drops r-0011...this is the same instructions as the old Taylor kit I have. The printed instructions says 10ml water/10 drops r-0010/3 drops r-0011...

my PH is spot on. My chlorine is also spot on at lower levels (1-3), but when the cholorine levels get higher the water guru reads low.

Can be done with smaller machines but it will cost more as the dig will take longer. Also will cost more if they will have to use a crane to hoist the fiberglass pool shell over your house and into your backyard.

They have events called "polaris days" where the price is lowered by $150 or so and the rebate is still valid. The same model is sold be Leslies and called VRX IQ+. Prices are the same for both models. You can figure out on their website when the next event is that lowers the price and which...

Is it in a location they can add an other skimmer? That would be the best bet...especially if they are only planning on one skimmer.

Ahh...I don't use the schedules, as I can't keep the robot in the pool with the autocover/

I use the app. It works well, I haven't had any connection issues. For me it is a lot easier to select the various functions using the app, but there are also buttons on the control box you can use to select the modes.

It all depends on how far your AC units are from the pool, pumping water hundreds of feet and up hill can use significant electricity. A heat pump pool heater shouldn't cost too much to run when the AC is running as it is probably pretty hot outside, and this system will be useless at times...

I heard from them as well, and they are sending me a new unit. Hopefully this one lasts longer...the original one got water in the circuit board somehow so the water sealing on that unit must not have been correctly installed.

Mine stopped working after a week and I have emailed and tried calling them for the past 2 days with no response.

Anyone else with a water guru having problems with its flow rate measurement? Mine is saying my flow is below 3 gpm through the skimmer, but a flowvis I have attached to my plumbing is reading 30 gpm with the main drains turned off (I only have one skimmer).

I have noticed it slows the cleaner down in the pool, and if the filter gets a bunch of fine sand in it, it has a hard time climbing the walls, so I usually run a wall and waterline only cycle first then the regular cycle.

Anyone get rid of their gas grill and switch to a pellet grill exclusively? I am looking at getting a Memphis pellet grill, but I dont want to have a gas grill and a pellet grill taking up all the space on my deck.

How much DE is coming out and is it coming out of the return or main drain? Since you replaced everything else It could be a cracked standpipe If it is just a little settling at the bottom of the pool it could be that you didn't put enough silicone grease on the O ring.

The sub panel doesn't have to be connected to the pool bonding unless it contains an automation system. The bonding wire does not go back to the home panel.

Get a solid cover and open in Early to mid April.

Yes it works

Im not sure what it came with, but the ultra fine I posted the link to a few posts above is definitely finer and picks up all the fine sand in the pool.

You need the ultra fine filter. Thats all I use now that the leaves are all of out the pool. It works really well. I wouldn't waste time with clear aid or whatever they are trying to sell you.
