    Active 30 vs Premium 40 vs Premium WiFi (And maybe EVO 604/614)

    So I think I am giving up on the M4 - want to move to top basket anyways as I have grown to hate the cartridges and with a 36ft pool it seems the 20/200 series have too short of a cord?. Trying to buy in store for the current rebates unless I get some online smoking deals (i.e. the Premium if...

    Dolphin Supreme M4 Rebuild (12 yrs old now!)

    Can anyone confirm if the power supply controls the direction of the drive motor or is it controlled I the motor portion itself? What tells it when to change direction or is it strictly time based? Trying to understand the logic process to the cycles.

    Dolphin Supreme M4 Rebuild (12 yrs old now!)

    My old girl is not that fancy - impeller just runs one direction and speed and tracks are supposed to go both ways - but now only one. So no diverter on this one...... Issue is drive motor direction control - seems power supply related but want to confirm.

    Dolphin M4 Drive Motor Issue

    SO I was having the start/stop issue and cleaned brushes in motors - was due after 10 years - all was good for the summer and just recently the drive motor quit. Seems I didn't seal well enough so there was some moisture in the motor box and the drive motor got the wettest. So I cleaned it up...

    Is there an advantage to connecting new VS700 pump to prologic board?

    So the pump has its own timer settings so what does adding to the Prologic benefit me? Does it offer heater protection if flow too low? Any advantage at all?

    AquaConnect - sync issues

    So my AquaConnect has worked for over five years now and suddenly the information I get to the app for temp and other readings is not accurate as to what is on the panel. Also, when I turn things on and off, there is no synchronization between the panel and the app for what is on/off although...

    Waterfall valve leaking?

    So I have a leak in my waterfall valve on a 2013 Sundance 780 series hamilton - there are too many gate/diverters to figure mine out??? Any way to get a real part number? The flat black rubber seal part is screwed on but no way can I find just that - and it is starting to come apart when you...

    Single Speed Super Pump 1HP - upgrade to variable or 2 speed?

    Why would I only get 2 speed options if the prologic has a variable option in the menu? So I could use a timer on non-Hayward VSP to do the same thing - would that cause issues with making sure heater only runs during enough flow? Same for chlorinator? Sorry am new to the 2 speed / VSP concept...

    Single Speed Super Pump 1HP - upgrade to variable or 2 speed?

    Thank you for the reply Last time motor started the unbalanced hum and a bit of a squeal at times I was told it needed replacement as it was more in the motor than just bearings??? Was I sold a motor I didn't need? To clarify the VS question - If I go that route is there a plug and play kit...

    Single Speed Super Pump 1HP - upgrade to variable or 2 speed?

    Searched a lot but didn't find my exact situation - currently have a 1HP super pump setup and am on my second motor. That motor is nearing the end of its life as I run it 24/7 for almost 6 months a year (get about 6 years as I leave out in winter due to plumbing end is fixed and hard wired) so...

    Lazy L Surface Circulation

    Unfortunately the wind is mostly across the pool towards the skimmer side - which makes sense as dead spots vary at times and I didn't know that was the theory behind it. Hindsight I would have installed 2 in the wall!!! Is there a way to use the returns to force circulation somewhat?

    Lazy L Surface Circulation

    As kids get older and pool gets used less I find a lot of dead areas where debris accumulates on both surface and floors of a 16x35 Lazy L pool - The floor gets dealt with by the robot but the surface issue I am hoping to address with return jet layout - sketch of jets and skimmer here in red...

    Hayward PH Probe

    Thanks for the suggestion - will look anthem. Problem is with a sense and dispense the pH never climbs as it fixes itself - guess I never did enough independent testing.

    Hayward PH Probe

    So it seems that probes may not last forever (installed 2012) and I may not have realized my PH was much lower than probe has been saying for 2 years as liner has faded badly. Now when I try to adjust to the values I get from tests it is either not accepted or jumps back up to a higher number...

    How Often Do You Run Your Robot?

    Have been running mine daily this year and have noticed much additional wear on 8 yr old liner - assume that I am overdoing it? Or is it just a function of the age of the liner as well?
