Well, after a day wasted, of course NO ONE sells pool parts because no one can fix stuff anymore and just hires out people. I went to three pool stores. All of them had nothing except chemicals, snorkels, and pool noodles. I needed either one Pentair quick fix kit and an impeller screw or like...

No, never did. Tab tower was installed with builder and never used. I ran a bleach/liquid chlorine pool 2019, 2020, 2021 until COVID made the ROI not feasible and then switched to SWG two seasons ago. Cut the tower out to install SWG. It’s currently behind my shed in the easement being used as...

I’ll give it a go. 5yo pool and pump. Never have used tablets. Was a liquid bleach pool until COVID, switched to SWG two seasons ago. Thanks for advice.

Anyone got any bright ideas on how to remove this impeller set screw? Blew the shaft seal this AM. Opened up to replace out and this is what I’m left with. There is nothing to grip with a 3/8” driver. Open to your wisdom.

Crazy. I mean, I never submerged it, but I'm sure it got wet by rain or sprinklers at some point last year. Sounds like the same issue as I am having.

Well, 100% confirmed on power supply. I took the sucker apart, found the youtube video by DIY Geek and checked all of the voltage. I really couldn't see anything wrong per se, but I'm not an electrical engineer. Regardless, put it all back together, tried it again, same thing. Works just fine on...

Shuts down and turns itself off whenever it tries to climb.

Literally just reguragitating what the pool store that tested it told me. They had an extra Maytronics power supply and hooked my prowler up to it and it worked just fine. When hooked to my power supply it would work just on the bottom of the pool and then fail when it needed to climb...

this post was edited by Jim R. Afternoon everybody. I have a Pentair Prowler 920, powered by Dolphin (I know, all the same company just different brands) pool robot that is supplied power by the Maytronics LTD IP 54. In a nutshell, and I respect everybody’s personal opinion on their robot...

My dang 920 went out again..finally outside of warranty. This is my 4th one in five seasons. A complete piece of junk. Took it in for service, turns out this time it's not the robot but the actual power supply. This time around, the Prower works fine...until it needs to go up one of the walls...

Thanks. I’ve actually already taken it apart and cleared the impeller as an issue. No tie ups at all. Appreciate the response!

Afternoon poolers. I am on my third Pentair Dolphin 920. These things keep messing up, and of course now I am out of warranty. This latest one worked all last season and about a month into this season. Here's the weird thing. The last two ended up with the same issue: I'd turn it on and it...

Hey all. Here's the final update. Sorry for the delay. I took a quick 10 day jaunt to the Dominican Republic for a well-needed vacation, and then have been buried in work since I got back. Highly recommend the DR, if you ever looking into a vacation destination. Electric Company sent out...

For sure. Just sounds like this guy didn't really know what he was doing, or at best, just decided to wing it rather than even look at the installation instructions that I left him. As someone earlier posted, I'm betting it'll be way easier just to install the 120v timer that I just bought...

Called electric company. Owner is not pleased with what I described. Will be there Monday morning first thing (he offered right now, but I'm at work and can't get out of here until 6 at the earliest) to check it over and make sure it's all set up correctly and making chlorine. Will post outcome...

Correct. Pump is bonded and going into the ground. SWG controller is not bonded currently. I noticed that while I was working on this stuff.

Yea, that's what I'm doing. I had to startup with LC until the pool temp got above 65 degrees, and that's what I have been using in the past. I ran down to Menards and snagged another 7 gallons to hold me off. Thanks man.

All right. I ran down to Home Depot and bought the 120v version of that timer. So I will call that electrician tomorrow and see what’s up. I did also notice that the bonding lug on the control unit wasn’t used so that will be something I bring up as well. Installion instructions say that it...

Not a bad idea. I’m sweating the lack of chlorine right now so I may look into that in the future so I can just get this done. Thanks man.

So..I can now assume that my timer is wired for 120v. How to fix? Do I: 1) Buy a new timer. One for 120v. Call electrician to redo. Return 240v timer. 2) Crack open CircuPool Controller. Install jumpers for 120v. 3) Keep 240v timer, Controller already wired for 240v, but electrician has it...

Timer off. Black on 1,, red on 3, reading 123.2v Timer on. Black on 2, red on 4, reading 123.7

Timer off, Black on ground, red on 1 read 0. Black on ground, red on 3 read 123. Timer on, supplying power to control box, black on ground, red on 2 read 0, black on ground, red on 4 was 124. Sounds like my 240 timer is wired for 120.

I just have it on all the time right now, as I'm running my pump 24/7 since I just opened it. I have not noticed the timer clock turning at all, but the silver on/off slider switch definitely supplies power to the SWG control box.

No worries. The only thing I did different was mount it upside down but the manual told me to do that since I have a VSP that runs at like 1800rpm.

Timer was brand new. I bought it to run SWG since my Pentair pump is a VSP. I have a multimeter. I’ll read the instructions today and figure out how to use it then get back here with the readings after work today.
