    Spa draining into pool

    Same here with a failed check valve. I rebuilt the valve and it stopped leaking, but then 1 year later it was leaking again. This time I just took it apart and cleaned everything and lightly Magic Lubed the seal. So far so good and it's been leak free for 6-8 months.

    Instapark Betta review

    I've had good pretty good luck with my Betta SE Plus but not with their warranty repair and replacement service. A few months ago I sent mine back to repair a LED that was out and for noisy gearing. My robot was repaired and returned but they broke one of the corner guide wheel bumper assemblies...

    ScreenLogic Stopped Working

    Thanks for the replies. @mknauss, thanks for looking into this and pointing out the Wiki! Moving the ScreenLogic wireless link to a new location solved the problem. I don't know for certain why after 4 years I had to relocate it but I'm thinking the new router caused additional interference...

    Thanks, but nothing's been moved and it's worked for 4 years.

    ScreenLogic Stopped Working

    My ScreenLogic stopped working today. Sometimes the app shows the normal screen but with no values such as temperature and doesn't control anything. I'm unable to login to Configure ScreenLogic from my locally connected PC. Maybe a coincidence but my router was replaced today but all network...

    Ducks and Bio-Dex Oil Out

    Thanks Matt. If the ducks return my next step will be to try Oil-Out or Skill-It.

    Ducks and Bio-Dex Oil Out

    Thanks ajw22. The pair of ducks would come by every morning around 7:30am. I set up the bubblers and waterfall to run in that window of time. After that I saw the ducks were hesitant and did not go in the choppy water. I think they like it nice and calm. I've followed that up with a large swan...

    Ducks and Bio-Dex Oil Out

    We're having a problem with a pair of ducks that have enjoyed swimming and pooping in our pool since late last week. No ducklings yet. I've tried scaring them away when I can catch them but that hasn't helped. I've just started using a large inflatable alligator yesterday and based on this...

    EVO 604 Issue

    I've had my 614iq for about 1 year and no problems but I always use just the floor mode. I hope their product support has improved over time as I initially had a very difficult time reaching anyone. Have you tried talking with one of their authorized repair centers?

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    Thanks vegasbeep. Your symptoms sounds a lot like mine but I don't have a problem with the skimmers sucking air. Last Sunday I added calcium to the pool and ran the pump at full speed for about 25 minutes. Surprisingly, the flow rate held steady after that for nearly 2 days. Early this morning...

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    Interesting data concerning flow and operation range. Thanks!

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    I'm still seeing flow fluctuations with no obvious reason for why flow decreases, increases, decreases and continues this cycle. I've back washed and checked and cleaned pump basket and skimmers. Pentair IC60 is still removed from winter. Here's an example of the fluctuations I've recently seen...

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    Thanks JamesW. That's interesting that flow is calculated. Good video too.

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    Thanks Jim. So would you say the fluctuations I'm seeing are normal operation as the filter gets dirty?

    Fluctuating Flow Rate

    I have my ScreenLogic app set to rpm for my Intelliflo VSP. I usually have the pump rpm set to provide about 25 gpm. Over the last year the flow rate sometimes drops 1-3 gpm within a few days after setting it. Other times it doesn't change for a much longer time. When the flow drops I'll...

    Instapark Betta review

    My SE Plus is getting noisy. I don't think it's the propeller motors but just noise from the gearing inside. Has anyone sent a Betta in for repair for this reason and had it repaired or replaced? Also, any suggestions on how to clean the brown organic staining from the basket mesh screens? Thanks.

    best pole, hose and vacuum head

    I really like my carbon fiber Primate Pole. If you want a light but expensive pole this is the way to go. I don’t use it with a vacuum head so I don’t know about that. However, it supposed to work fine with them.

    EVO 614 iq Warranty Work - Spins and Stays in Small Area

    Wow what a pain! The odd thing is that Leslie's should have the Evo in their system as they sell it online.

    EVO 614 iq Warranty Work - Spins and Stays in Small Area

    Thanks @Gigem94 for posting your warranty experience. Can you provide more detail about your Leslie's response to servicing the Evo? My Leslie's told me they would service it if I needed it. The manager confirmed it was made by Polaris and said no problem. Marina and a contact at Fluidra/Aqua...

    Betta SE Plus. Is it really worth it?

    Are you running any water features or swimmers that disturb the water when you're testing the robot? Mine will behave as yours does with the back and forth thing when I have the bubblers on otherwise it works great! Even if it's only a slight water disturbance it's enough to upset my SE Plus. I...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Following up on my above post, I emailed Aqua Products support regarding the Leslie's service question and didn't get a reply. I then emailed Selina Dudley (Senior National Accounts Manager,Fluidra) and quickly received her reply: "Leslie's can and should provide service on these units but I've...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    When using the autolift feature of my 614iq some fine debris will be released from the robot into the pool as I lift the robot from the water as it drains. I can't tell where the debris is coming from. Anyone have a technique for removing the Evo without it releasing debris?

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I stopped by Leslie's today to ask about Evo service. The store manager never heard of Evo robots but confirmed they sell it. He also verified online that Polaris makes it and and he said they would provide warranty service even though I didn't buy it from them. He's never had an Evo in for...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    About 1 month ago Marina also told me Leslie's would provide warranty service on Evo robots and it was key to my purchase decision. Leslie's sells Evo robots on their website but checking this morning on the Aqua Products website it only shows 1 service center (not Leslie's) in NC. This is very...

    Instapark Betta review

    I bought a SE Plus on an Amazon flash sale a few weeks ago and it's been great! Last year I tried a Betta SE but returned it after various strange operation problems and getting stuck on my cleaner pressure hose. I no longer use the pressure cleaner so I thought I would give the Betta another...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I emailed support concerning infrequent wall climbing but did not receive a reply. Marina contacted Fluidra on my behalf and here's their Director of Product Marketing's response: "In floor/wall mode, the product will climb the wall 1 out of 4 times it encounters a wall. The product focuses...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Love my Evo 614iq except for the wall climbing. I'm using the fine filter now as it works great for picking up pollen. Most of the time the robot will only slightly climb a wall just as if it's in floor only mode. And it's not as if it's struggling to climb the walls either as the brushes/treads...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    That's exactly what I was hoping for with the fine filter. Hopefully I'll have mine by Friday.
