I've had the Jandy RS system for a couple of years and here are my experiences FWIW. 1. WiFi connectivity is buggy and slow, trying to adjust pump speeds or schedule from my iPhone is a pain in the neck, lots of back and forth through different screens. 2. If there is a power failure when the...

I have had my Dolphin for about three months and learned three things: 1. If your dealer special orders your model, I bought one of the top of the line ones after reading here, there are plenty of reasons the dealer should cut you a deal versus something they stock. No inventory costs is a big...

So why would I buy liquid chlorine at 12% or somewhere around that versus shock at 73%?

The ph has been holding steady @7.5 and FC is around 4-5, the green is gone and I can see the bottom. I’m fairly certain the Texas sun over the next few days will burn off some of the chlorine. Thanks for the direction

My robot sees me staring at leaves and goes the other way. Drives me crazy, I feel like I’m playing that game where you try and get the bb’s in the holes.

I’d ju like to say that prices vary widely so it’s worth calling around.

I just received the Mayfair M600 its the first robot replacing a Polaris. I would advise calling around because prices vary widely and at the top of the market most sellers special order it.

Well it all ended up being a fool’s errand. The low ph combined with sun burned the chlorine off quickly. Should have read ALL the instructions first ?. Raised ph, then shocked with 73% and overnight things were under control. mknauss was right, SWChlorinator is not powerful to overcome zero FC.

Okay, with Covid-19 finding bleach at the grocery store has become quite the scavenger hunt

Okay, I think I get it so when they say get a lot of bleach are they talking about 10 gallons, 4 gallons, when someone says a lot I think pallets...

Every day is a new opportunity to master my pool, or be mastered by it... Right now I am losing....

An offshoot of my previous post, I thought things were fine running a Jandy 2.75 VSP at 1800RPM for 8-9 hours overnight to reduce evaporation during the day. It all started grand, nice and quiet barely a whirr from the morot but I noticed the Salt Chlorinator on the return was only 3/4 full...

I wish someone told me a long time ago......

I am not sure I agree, with a large, deep pool achieving clarity requires removing suspended "stuff" through the filter. In an ideal world one might be able to tag a cubic inch of water and track its migration through the pool, plumbing, pump and filter but its probably more likely that some...

I found this to be a little nifty tool Jandy VSP Pump Savings Calculator If this is to be believed I have been running my pump for longer than needed and at higher speed as well.

I thought #17 might be for bubbles in your spa or maybe that big pipe could be for a blower for the spa.

Thanks. It's still a bit spotty, reminds me of when I was a little kid and my Dad would ask me to move the antenna on the B & W TV for reception. I realize if finding a good spot to connect is a lot like dowsing for water, except I would have died of thirst.

I picked up my M600 yesterday and after the usual cursing and stomping around got it all to hook into my home WiFi system. They could make things a LOT easier if you could share WiFi codes like many sophisticated apps (Maytronics, you listening?). Ideally this should work seamlessly with Apple...

Thanks for the information. I placed an order for the M600 on Friday. I'm holding off opening my pool until it arrives since once I pull the pool cover I won't be able to resist trying to brush and skim and backwash over and over again like I do every year. I'm trying to get smarter about...

Thank you for your detailed response. Its the kind of detail and experience I was looking for. In the store its a problem as the conversation usually goes like this: "Have you used this model?" "Well no, but I hear its great!". "Do you even have a pool?" "Well no, can I ring this up for...

Good morning Willie, so I too am considering wither the Active 30i or M600 but there is a spread of $800 between the two, so what is the deciding factor in choosing to spend the extra $800? I have a Polaris but have never been truly happy with its performance. I mean its better than doing it...

Thank you I will

I am the sometimes proud owner/legacy of a 20,000 gallon salt water chlorinator pool. At times my pool sparks joy and other times it incites frustration and feelings of inadequacy as I struggle to understand the alchemy that is pool ownership.

So along the lines of many before me I find the array of models from Maytronics to make my head spin. I too have a 20,000 gallon pool (I estimate as I have not actually filled it with a 5 gallon bucket myself, ever) but I am replacing a Polaris system. Because of the Texas heat I run...
