Never mind, just had to do some more digging but most sites had outrageous shipping. Hopefully no one has this junk light but here's the cheapest in case helpful - 619792 | Screw

So I'm in progress of changing the bulb. The sealing screws are old, green, deteriorating, and the Philips head is stripping out when I'm unscrewing via hand pretty easily. In terms of getting them out, I doubt a rubber band would work but I will try today or tomorrow, not sure how I feel...

it does and that's probably why it worked the next day. i defintiely twisted the swivel when i was examing the cord for damage. thank you!

Used for 4 seasons, starting 5th now. Power supply appears working as normal. Dolphin does nothing, no light, no movement, no suction. Worked as normal at closing last year. Power cord is deteriorating (flaking, started last season). Anyway to easily, cheaply identify issue? Try replacing...

I think they are definitely overrated on this forum. Keep the power box near the pool and always keep the basket/filters clean. You may be already doing this, I think it's slow and it misses spots regardless and it only takes a little bit of debri (leaves) for it to lose suction. I had a super...

Dude, I'm pumped about the fall nitro blitz!

All right so I really like this site and will be frequenting but...TFP is 100x better. In terms of finding the info you're looking for and understanding said info. Or lawns are just ridiculously more complex than pools... maybe it's just my brain 😄. I feel like I've been to most of these...

I will be into RVing soon :)

I'm into FIRE. Heard MMM on Tim Ferris and then discovered several other podcasters and/or bloggers. Pretty cool to see someone bring it up. Wasn't familiar with this site, looks pretty good, going into detail on the important topics.

I love this site and often find myself thinking that I wish there was something like TFP for lawn and basic home improvement mainly, but really anything - hobbies, travel, finance/insurance, health, electronics, auto, gardening, etc. Any recommendations?

Great advice, thank you!

Well, glad ya'll nudged me to get this moving. I have reached out to 6 companies - 1 is booked until Spring 2023 (the company I would prefer to do it assuming their quote isn't outrageous and they weren't booked until 2023), 2 do not serve my area (there's only 2 pool companies in my town and...

Attorney? HR?

Well dang it (not really) I think you talked me into it. I mean I've saved that much not buying pool store chemicals over the last few years right?!

I've never heard this term before. I like it!

I'm zero help but sorry you're going through this and hope it all works out.

So it's probably time to bite the bullet (see pictures) but I'm a run it until the wheels fall off kind of guy. So had a small tear a couple years ago that I patched (probably would have fixed then had I known about the whole double patch/wallpaper roller method back then) but every June the...

To stop the leak (until parts arrive/time to fix) I was going to try filling the hole w/ water weld, wrapping screw in teflon tape, screwing in, let dry, remove screw, then reattach handle assembly. Got the idea from this video - . I can't picture it sealing though. Immediately put some...

Handle is kind of loose going up and down but tough to turn clockwise or counterclockwise. Pool company was helping with a suction side leak I couldn't find (it was actually behind the handle on one of the suction side valves and low enough to where it was below water level or something? i...

Welcome!

Difficult to move period? Or after sitting for a while? It was pretty stuck at spring startup and barely stuck just recently, seems to move pretty well after "unsticking" it manually. I did notice a small leak this season where the motor meets the housing.

Hayward Super Pump Self Priming, Century Model C48K2N143B1, SER 30513J2, HP1, KW .82, Volts 115/230, RPM 3450, Amps 15.75, HZ 60. Not sure of age, came w/ house, but at least 5 years old, I doubt it was brand new when home purchased, so my best guess would be at least 10 years old. Noticed...

I felt like I was spending more time skimming the pool than actually enjoying it. The poolskim looked like a good solution based off of reviews on Amazon and here. It arrived a few days ago and I absolutely love this thing. It was confusing, to me at least, to install because you get several...

Another very very important piece of advice regarding a robot, you got to name it.

Yeah good question. I'm taking it as actually pulling the robot out of the pool by the cord instead of the handle after you initially used the cord to get it to the edge. I've always grabbed the handle because it doesn't seem like a good idea to hold a robot up by the cord (kind of the same...

I was going to say I don't think it matters but it appears bot manufactures do give a range. I would think it would be okay if above freezing and below a temp that could warp plastic.

At least upper 70s, preferably 80+ for me. Any lower than that and it feels like you shouldn't be swimming (feel cold when you get out, can't comfortably lounge on the pool deck). With that said, I'm a big fan of summer night swims when the water feels better/warmer than the air.
