    Introduction and Automatic SWG Question

    How about a pool guy/gal? There are some older posts in the forum about ORP sensors functioning properly. Their sensitivity is basically at odds with the CYA levels that you want in the pool. The PH level seems to be something that might be controlled automatically. Check Autopilot and...

The problems fall (in order) into 1) operator error 2) Cell at it's age limit, and 3) defective component. As far as recommendations the...

    Polaris 9300

    I received the Polaris 9300 on Wednesday from an online retailer for $900. Supposedly I will get a $150 rebate bringing the net cost down to $750. Why? I opted to purchase a robot instead of spending money on a new motor, water valve, and head replacements for our in-floor cleaner. I am also...
