Great info…with my luck with pool equipment, I’m sure it’s frozen 😎

Maytronics Dolphin Active 20…where can I get a new cord for a good price?

The 2 1/2gal. at pinch-a-penny has been $7.00 for years now..way before the fire. Seems like a little gouging is going on.

I mostly use 13% chlorine to keep my pool clear but sometimes I like to use tabs for a variety of reasons, such as, when we go out of town or because of all the rain we get here. Question is what’s up with the price? Just a few years ago a 35# pale of tabs cost $85-90, but now it’s $200!!? Whats Up?

Hey Marty..My Active 20 is about 4 years old and does a good job with the pool, climbs the wall fine but as long as I’ve had it , it has only pushed itself along waterline once that I’ve seen (about 4 feet). I was impressed😎

Check! I will run the pump 24/7 and keep FC 9-10. Thanks

A few weeks ago the pool went a little green so I slammed. With all the rain it’s been hard to keep up. Thanks, I’ll keep testing.

Yes, I drain occasionally and there is evaporation and I think I have a small leak somewhere in one of the pipes. I put the quotes around the 30 because of it being so low. I don’t have any tile or grout, what if the pool is just a tad bit cloudy?

ph 7.5 fc 9 ta 130 ch “30” cya 30 The amount of rain we have had in the last few months has been mind boggling. Almost every day we have storms. Keeping the pool water in check is a nightmare. Getting the CH in check I’m needing 20+ pounds. Trying to boost cya up some..(it was 50 a month ago)...

Marty..what do you keep your TA and CH at?

I went ahead and bought the stabilizer…I did notice on the bag that it said made in China, not that that’s a bad thing but I associate Clorox with made in USA, oh well I’ll try it tonight and see how it works.

Thanks… I was looking at the calcium increaser also but I may pass on that, thanks again for the advice

I’m needing to boost my CYA and was wondering about the quality of Clorox pool chemicals. Lowes has a pretty good price on the stabilizer it’s like half of what the pool store is asking.

Thanks.. I’ll check it out…

I haven’t used the pool calculator for a while, is there not a free calculator any longer or do you have to purchase the calculator? I don’t mean to sound cheap. On December 7, 2004

So, is this the one?

Thanks…always want to make sure I’m doing everything correct when messing with electrical stuff.

I thought it’s 240 because it’s two 110’s together. I was hoping I could remove the 110’s and push the 240 GFCI in. I’m still a little confused about hooking it up though.

Thanks

I’ve replaced many 110 cb’s that you just pull the old one out and put the new one in, but never installed a 220 that I would have to wire anything up. Is it pretty straight forward?

I have one more question….If I pull the two gaged 110’s out too put the single 220 in…what about the other pole… It’s not part of the equation any longer?

Thanks Allen…

It feeds the pool pump. 1 hp. Lights are on different line with GFCI

Doing some maintenance and noticed the breaker is not GFCI. Should I change this? It’s two 110’s, right? Hope this question is in the right place. Thanks ///Sorry..this is in wrong place..////

Obviously Marty you are not as lazy as it appears I am. I also have a ledge that I will start parking it on and see if straightening or pulling the cord out as you do helps… but my cord is three years old and it looks like the twist and kinks are a permanent feature. I may try heating it up with...

Thanks Marty….looking back at older responses it seems many people have this problem. The only thing I found about servicing a swivel was not to lube the gold contacts. I hesitate to take it apart or unscrew it like that one video showed without knowing it can be serviced. I mostly leave my...

The swivel on my Maytronics Dolphin seems pretty stiff and not sure it’s doing it’s job. My cord is a mess…twisted up and even ties itself in knots. Have it on deck in sun right know. Should I be taking the swivel apart to clean and lube…if so, how does it come apart? Help and thanks!😎

Not thinking of using it…i’m Happy with my liquid chlorine. Just wondering if anyone is using it.😎
