Hello All, Just FYI, we purchased our home last summer and some of the metal parts around our pool had lost their bond (one leg of ladder, diving board). I can only assume the original copper bonding wire (15-20yrs old) broke under the slab. Anyhow, I ran new #8 copper wire and re-bonded all...

Hello All, Do manufacturers recommend not using robotic cleaners during the winter months or according to pool temperature? The reason I ask is because our robotic cleaner punched a hole in our 15yr old liner a few months ago. The liner had lost much of it's elasticity and when the water...

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion of introducing air bubbles into the main drain? I think the girls would get a kick out of such a feature. Not your typical bubbler which creates a fountain affect on the surface. I just want a lot of bubbles to come out of the main drain...

Hello All, So about three months ago I purchased a Dolphin Quantum (after much research) understanding it had Bluetooth and Remote capability. It however doesn't have any of those features. It took a little bit of research but I finally figured out where I had gone wrong. Long story...
