Yeah, I already have the Water Tech Volt FX-8Li Vacuum, which is pretty good, it just takes a bit of time to do all the stairs, ledges, and benches in my pool. And I'm just too lazy to do that twice a week 😅 I'm glad I have it still have it, as it does the trick for spot cleaning Yup -- I...

I am looking for the smallest, most compact robot vacuum on the market. So far, looks like that might be the Seagull (600 or 1000) from Aiper -- anyone know of a smaller one? Seems like an okay brand, not as pricey as Dolphin or Polaris, but the unit also seems a lot smaller (which is what I...

Okay -- I think I have tracked down the issue of why the SWG will stop operating at a mid-low speed. Part of it was a dirty filter, but I think the other part was bubbles accumulating in the pipes. If I got from a very high speed (like priming) down to a mid-low speed (1650) it activates just...

Yeah, I usually see a fair bit of bubbles coming out of my return whenever my pump primes itself after I adjust the settings in the pump menu So I imagine I wasn't totally crazy with the idea that there might be bubbles lurking about

About 4-5 weeks ago my pool was pretty clear, and had been most of the winter. And then on April 2nd (iirc) there was a flash flood here in Dallas, and the next day my pool went from clear to swamp. Took about two weeks for it to get completely clear again, and that's why I've had to clean my...

Okay, so I just cleaned my filter for the 4th time in the past 5 weeks -- lol Now this just feels like voodoo magic.... With a freshly clean filter, the SWG seems perfectly content with generating at 1200 RPM (just happens to be my default speed for this time of day). Guess I will check again...

Thanks so much for the detail, and especially the clear photo -- that really helps!!

Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing until today 😅 Just ordered some that should be arriving this weekend

Thanks, I'll clean the filter again later today or tomorrow and note all this stuff. I do remember last week that the SWG turned on when it was only 1400 RPM so I will see if that is the case again. Dunno how my filter could already be sooooo dirty after a week, but it is the start of spring...

Anyone have any further tips on why I would need such a high speed on my pump to get the SWG to activate?

According the the company, that's the capacity of it

hmm -- any other suggestions then? I imagine that my pressure is unusually low on my filter, correct?

Unfortunately, I didn't check or record the filter pressure after I washed the filter. So, I may just need to wash it, yet again, and record the pressure then

I just have the valve set in the middle -- half of the water going to the pool returns, half of it going to my "spa jets" (on the side of the pool) Attached at readings of my pressure at these RPM: 1600 2000 2200 3250 (priming)

Okay, I am a bit confuses. For a day or so, it seemed perfectly happy to generate chlorine at 1,400 rpm. Now, as of today, it won't kick in until I cranked it all the way up to 2,000 rpm -- what could be going on?
