    Hayward - W3C3030 SwimClear 325 sq. ft. Cartridge Pool Filter question. Low pressure on manual air relief valve

    I took the valve appart and was clogged, the redwood in my backyard is shedding seeds this time of the year and they're small enough to clog that valve. Cleaned it and after 20 seconds was clogged again... Ill just ignore it until the seeds are going away.

    Pump not starting, please help !

    The Pump was replaced 2 years ago by professional company under home warranty, I have no clue why that wire is not connected... Took them 3 months to come and replace the pump and I have no documentation for that as it was performed under the warranty and they didn't gave me any paperwork.

    I ordered from Walmart and even tough I have Walmart + they only delivered less than half of the order, its a nightmare to deal with the online support, they can only do one thing... Apologize and tell you to move on....

    Morton Pool Salt from Home Depot really messed up my pool

    BTW, I got the yellow salt bags from Costco, salt for water softeners and its nice white and pure 99.95% I am also in the Bay area, how much you paid for the re-plastering ? Would you recommend the company that did it ?

    Do I NEED the Polaris Alpha IQ+ or will the Dolphin Explorer E30 do the job?

    Definitely the Dolphin robot will do the job, I would also suggest to get a couple of Owl scarecrows to keep the ducks away. https://www.amazon.com/vdp/4bd34b08bc1948edbc423cb56efca97f?product=B079JYN1GZ&ref=cm_sw_em_r_ib_dt_zeoxesrpmUFAo

    Dolphin control panel bubbling?

    the enclosure is IPX so no air can escape, when it gets hot either from sun or just from the transformers the air inside expands leading to bubbling. My workaround was to drill a small hole withe the thinnest drill I have to allow air to escape. I will also look for a water impermeable mesh to...
