Thanks. I will look into what you suggested.

Disregard. I just bought a new robotic cleaner. Do I need to cap off the Polaris hose cleaner wall jet or can I just leave it as an extra jet? Also, what do I do about the Polaris pump? Leave it as is or have it disconnected and safe-off the power? Thanks

I have a 14000 gallon, inground gunite pool. depth is 3ft on each side and a minimal slope to the center which is 6ft. I have 3 steps on one side a bench type step on the opposite side of the pool. over the past couple of months, my Polaris 280 hasn't been working properly and i am now...

Today I noticed my polaris cleaner is floating. It was working fine the past few days. I am hearing a hissing noise coming from the wall jet where the polaris hose is connected to. I disconnected the hose from the wall and the water pressure coming out of the wall seems low and even with the...

Appreciate the replies. Thanks

A little over 3 weeks ago I had some service done on my pool equipment. The tech replaced a leaking adaptor on the water line connected to the Polaris motor (see photo for adaptor replaced). The next day I noticed the cleaner was not moving as fast as before in the pool. I reached out to...

Thanks again.

All is it safe to let the pump/motor run under the current condition, until such time I can get a pool repair tech to my home middle of next week? Is there a risk of fire? With this heat and humidity I am sure my water will turn green quickly if I turn the pump off for a couple of days

Thanks for this detail.

Has never run dry. I run it 8 hours in winter and 10-12 hours now in summer. It’s been quiet and working with no issues since I last replaced it.

Motor was replaced about 3 years ago. No water dripping anywhere. Is it safe to keep running u til I can get it replaced

I saved this as public in my channel as I did the last one. Let me know if it works, if not. I will try icloud vide.

Got it. Hopefully this work.

Good morning This morning I noticed the pump making a really loud noise. It’s on and water is coming out of the jets. I turned it off and on but still happening. I can’t tell which section of the pump it’s coming from. Also unable to load the video

I am at the point where I am ready to toss the cleaner! Two months ago I bought a new hose, two 10’ pieces and cut them down enough so the cleaner reaches each end. Placed them it the hot sun for about two days but it didn’t help. Since they come rolled in the package I knew it would take time...

Sorry, I don’t understand. what do you mean by pools bonding grid?

My in ground pool is exposed to direct sunlight all day. Looking for ideas with how best to provide some shade. I am thinking about possibly building a pergola over the pool using four steel post at each corner and then adding aluminum slates on top so it’s not top heavy, followed by...

I appreciate all the response. Definitely will need to look in to the SWCG install later this year.

I have actually talked to two different repair techs who did work on my equipment about SWCG and both of them said, it's not worth the investment as it still requires continuously checking and filling with product. I am sure it beats having to buy LQ every week. I read from a neighbor that he...

thanks.

Hello, looking for some guidance on pool chemicals while away for vacation. I was thinking about adding the liquid chlorine the night before I leave, then place 2-3 chlorine pucks in the floater, but not sure if this will work since we have never left the pool unattended like this for more...

Thanks 1poolman1, what you suggested is what I have been doing during the very cold temps like what we had earlier this week. I thought I'd check just to see if there was a device to add to make it simpler during times when I may not be at home. I can just continue as I have.
