@ajw22, I was planning to do a suction side cleaner, as I already have an existing suction side line/port in the wall of the pool, and also because before I got this Dolphin robot, I had a simple suction side Navigator that worked well and without hassle for many, many years, other than...

Hey everyone, I have a Dolphin M4 Supreme free to anyone in my area (South OC, California) that would like it to try and repair, or for parts. Pick up only, no shipping. It's complete with the power supply, carry/storage caddy, and cover. It's great when it works, but unfortunately it's been...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around here for knowledge since we bought our house about a year ago, and it's been really valuable to help me figure out issues and develop a good maintenance routine. The Pool School is especially helpful. In any case, I did a complete drain/refill about 4...
