Same thing with my Active 20. The waterline cleaning is a waste of time.

I run it multiple times for each cleaning. I'm living with it even though I hate it.

I always remove all the leaves. Regardless, that's not the issue, it's the coverage.

The cleaning per se is not the issue. The issue is the coverage.

Considering that your pool is 6,000 gallons, it's substantially smaller than mine unless it's only a few feet deep in its entirety.

I recently installed an Active 20 in my 16' X 32' free-form in-ground gunite pool to replace my 12-year-old Dolphin Deluxe. The Dolphin Deluxe did a great job of cleaning, but it was a major pia to empty and clean the filter bag. The Active 20 is just the opposite - it does a poor job of...

Yes, I installed it correctly. I take photos of everything I work on as I disassemble it. You might have missed my other message in which I resolved the issue.

Does anyone have the pinouts for the cable (at the PCB)? Maytronix will not cooperate in providing them. There's 29DVC across the b&w wires at the motor unit PCB connection. No voltage across the others. There is continuity on the b&w wires at the PCB connector to other end (power supply...

FWIW - I pressurized the suction side and saw a somewhat bigger than a pinhole leak in the tee-fitting between the valves manifold and pump intake line. I sealed it, then the pump primed and ran as it should.

It's a union fitting. I tighten it with a strap wrench. I read about the "bag trick," but have not tried it yet.

Yes, it has a swivel. How can it be checked? I'm familiar with the self-test. It doesn't perform it now. It will be eleven years old in a month.

It doesn't have a remote control. The lack of continuity is from one end to the other in one wire, not between "the other two wires." Regardless, I'm checking with my local Leslie's where I bought it to see if they can power the motor. I removed it from the chassis.

My Hayward RS1500 pump lost its prime. The lid had a crack, so I replaced it and the O-ring. It still would not prime. I disassembled it. The impeller and diffuser were badly worn. I replaced them, the impeller gasket, impeller ring, housing gasket, and the shaft seal. It still will not prime...

I have a Dolphin Deluxe 4 that stopped operating, There's 29V across two of the pins at the motor end, but one of the three wires does not have continuity from one end to the other. Are all three wires used (or is it a motor issue)?

Don't do it. Ignoring the upfront cost, you will spend more on Muriatic and Cyanuric Acids and salt than you ever will spend on chlorine tablets, and it's more work. I regret that I converted my pool, and once the cell wears out I won't replace it.

SOME places sell it for nearly that much - $399.99.

It can be had for ~$250. regardless, thank you for your input!

I have a 7.25 year old Dolphin Deluxe 4 that requires $147 in non-motor repairs (has original motor). I can buy a new S200 for $699. Repair or replace?
