Mine lasted two years an died right after the warranty expired. The cord always got tangled and it never really cleaned the walls very well. I would never buy a Maytronics cleaner again and would never recommend them to anyone. When I opened up the motor housing in an attempt to...

Moves forward, then back, and runs for about 2 minutes then dies. Impeller is clean, reseated the motor assembly, replaced both drive wheels and bushings. Can't send it off because we are listing our house in a couple weeks, and honestly I don't have any faith in Maytronics anyway. It let me...

Mine is going on 2 years old and started doing the same thing... moved forward, the back, then stops. I checked the impeller and it was free of hair and junk. I put it back in the water and now it works for about 2 minutes then dies. These things are junk, really.

Very helpful, thank you!

Great advice! Thank you.

Thank you for the ideas! I like the thought of having an extra return line, but I'm not following on the sprayer to cool the pool... Sounds like a great thing, though. The booster line to the pool was capped off last year. Any harm in using it now after so long? How would I even clean it...

Ahhh! Easier!

Howdy all... Good news is that my new Pentair CCP420 filter is supposed to ship this week! Now that it's "in the mail" I am looking to gather up some PVC to be prepared to get everything back in operation. Here's some pics of current setup. We inherited this when we bought the house in 2018...

Perfect... the 420 was the one I keyed in on... and found one online for $999 shipped. Thank you!

Thank you, Allen! My current DE filter specs are: 120 GPM, 50PSI max working pressure, and 48 sq feet filter area. After looking at the CCP filters, I think the CCP420 would work fine, but I'm totally guessing. Here's the specs: SQ...

Our power went out, pump stopped running, and yep... cracked PVC lines, cracked filter housing, and cracked DE filter. I have a spare pump housing and can do the PVC work myself. The filter is what I need help with. The now busted filter is a Pentair FNSP-48 DE filter. In another thread, I...

This thread is right on time for me. Thank you so much for the insight on cartridge filters.

I hope this is true! Lots of cracked PVC, and the DE filter let loose with a really loud bang at 3am! Not sure about skimmer or below ground pipe damage. :unsure:

So I go to their website to register my robot and get the rebate... I entered everything into the online form and uploaded my sales invoice from Marina Pool Spa. It seems to have submitted just fine, but when I look at the rebate details, it says minimum purchase price was not met. Did I save...

Howdy! :wave:

I'm in this situation, too. Boost pump was dead when we moved in 2 years ago, and have been manually vacuuming with suction pump until we got our Warrior SE recently. I'm about to pull the boost pump, blow the water out of the pressure line to the pool, and cap it off both ends. I don't ever...

Very kind of you, Jim! My robot should arrive today and I really do not know if I'll need one yet, but if you still have it next week I may take you up on it. I'm considering building a box to enclose the power supply as it hangs on the wall instead of moving all of it to the garage and back...

Just ordered a Warrior SE from Marina Pool at $699. The Dolphin S200 went up in price to $719. I'll save the $20 because I really don't care what color the darn thing is as long as it works. Now I'm hoping for a rebate! ?

Did you call, and which model did you get?

Was afraid you were going to say that! :) Algae set in on the pool walls this year before we normally start routine pool care. It brushes away somewhat with a wire brush, but is stubborn and not going away completely. Balancing pH today and will start SLAM soon. Just dreading the brushing...

Can I use a robot during a SLAM? Will those levels hurt it? Would love for the robot to scrub the walls instead of me during SLAM.

For the record, I knew. :cool: Welcome! :wave:

With all the overcast days and rain lately, our pool's temps have taken a steep dive... No heater or solar cover.

Thank you for the replies! I'm chalking it up to making a bad and ill-informed choice and will just move on. Or, I'll do that pool lottery winner thing! ;) It really was too good to be true.

No drains on the decking. I know it doesn't work because after overfilling once (and big rain twice), I had to drain the pool myself back to a normal level. I thought about sticking the garden hose in there, but I'm imagining years of dirt and dead bugs backsplashing into my face and into my...

Full disclosure... A few weeks ago, I bought one of those solar powered copper ion generators because of the promise of lowering FC, using less chlorine, and keeping algae at bay. I bought this one: Hilltop Solar Solar Pool Ionizer 14.0 Volts I bought this before really getting a grasp on...

Very neat! The over flow drain, I know for a fact it doesn't work. Not even sure where it drains to, so I'm reluctant to force any water or air in there.
