Agree with everything. I have an Aiper Orca 1200 that worked flawlessly until the month after warranty expired and they are refusing to even help me troubleshoot it. I MIGHT consider buying it again but it was $599 with $100 off coupon 2 years ago and now same price, no coupon. Can’t afford...

Thanks. It’s cordless and the reviews for most cordless units haven’t been great so wondering from someone who had one, if it works well

Are you being sarcastic and trying to insult me? That doesn’t seem to be conducive to the etiquette rules here

This pool robot is in on sale and you’re the only one I’ve seen post about it. How do you like it?

That robot is even more expensive than the one I bought, by like $400. I am looking for something *less expensive

I bought this on Amazon. Really not looking for a place to buy it so much as what to buy and a recommendation for what to buy that is less expensive. If you can help with that great. I really don’t need help being told where to get one though thank you though.

Regardless it’s 27 mos old and won’t work

I have the Aiper Orca 1200 Pro which is 2 years old now and has quit working. It was $600 new and warranty is only good 30 days. Clearly not buying another Aiper product. Can anyone recommend a less expensive, more reliable pool robot? Please don’t suggest I manually vacuum and brush pool as...

Maybe folks would be less assertive about insisting I buy a salt water generator if they understand I’m in an electric wheelchair, I use a lift to be put into pool for therapy. i CANNOT magically come up with money for a saltwater generator no matter how much I am chastised for not doing so. I...

I’m in an electric wheelchair, I can’t install pool equipment

I’m disabled , I realize most here are pretty privileged but I’m not I cannot afford saltwater generator no matter how much chastising I get

I don't know what SCP is and I don't have thousands to spend on a saltwater generator.

Well, the TFP herd has more money than I do apparently. I cannot afford thousands of dollars to install and maintain a saltwater generator

Unfortunately, if I can't afford current bleach prices, I cannot afford thousands to install a saltwater generator

Anyone else finding themselves unable to pay for liquid chlorine due to price gouging or supply issues? I don't know what to do. I cannot afford $17 a gallon for chlorine when I use over a quart a night. Walmart appears to be permanently out of stock. What are people in lower income brackets...

I'd been getting LC from Walmart this summer until this week when it was out of stock in ALL stores. The swimming pool supplies like Leslies are $9 a gallon of 10% before tax, E-Konomy is $16 a gallon of 12.5%. At this point I'm seriously considering draining the pool. I cannot afford to keep...

Yes I know how to calculate price with percentage, which is why I said I will be going to Walmart from now on. I have not been using the minimum free chlorine concentration as a matter of fact, but the pool literally gets blanketed with 2 inches of flowers a day during the 3 to 4 days that the...

I'm switching to Walmar bleach because E-Konomy is selling 12.5% for $9.40 a gallon and I cannot keep that up, especially with the massive flower dumps we have from some of the native trees in Tucson (need to shock every time that happens). I've heard a lot of bad things about getting liquid...

I'm in Tucson too and E-Konomy is charging $9.40 a gallon of 12.5%, I just spent over $80 on f&^%ing pool bleach. Walmart is $5.47 for a gallon of 10% at the moment so I will be using them instead from now on. Every Spring the palo verde flowers fill the pool and the pool turns green unless...

How do I test what rpm the pump provides best skimming of surface? There was a clog in the line so it got blown out and pressure is back up. Pool repair suggested I use the VacMate but every time I have tried it, it doesn't pull enough into the skimmer basket or the creepy crawly. If I have...

I just bought 8 gallons of 12.5% for $52! So about $6.50 a gallon for 12.5% at E-Konomy Pool in Tucson. Was told prices keep increasing. I may swith to 10% at HD for $4 a gallon.

I had to take the pump apart and lost all the programming. What is the recommended, optimal programming for a Pentair Superflo VS Pump? Thank you

The plastic hose bib on my Pentair pump dessicated and fell apart. The local pool supply only has a brass one....I'm thinking connecting a brass part to a plastic fitting is not the best choice. I cannot find this thing anywhere in town , on Amazon and Pentair doesn't sell to consumers. Any...

What about pumice attachement on dremmel?

I hope this is posted in the correct forum. I have a slight waterline scale problem. I am better with CSI and pH now so shouldn’t be an issue after I remove what’s there. I’m going to use the method recommended for removing mild scale via steel brush and chems noted. What type of hand held...

I'm thinking maybe I need to take dremmel with pumice attachment and get scale off of that small area between tiles at waterline because it is acting as nidus for algal growth?

FC-4 TA-120 CYA-50 pH-7.5 CH-825 temp-84 CSI-.48

Both, really small amounts of scale only in that area and algae on top.

Where are you that it gets hotter than Tucson? It's 120 farenheit here in the summer. Maybe if I wash the bleach bottles, since they are refillable and get bleach on the outside, crystallized and put them in a closed storage bin.
