    Dolphin PS Cord 'Crud'

    So, I purchased (new) this unit about 3 years ago, and I must say, it was the best money I've ever spent! But it took this long for me to realize that the blue flecks I keep seeing on floaters and inside the unit when I hose it out is actually from the cord! I either need to replace the cord...
