    Green Algae Stains

    Yes, I do have the TF-100, however, I JUST realized I'm out of R-0013. I had enough to go 1/2 way up to the top of the label after putting the pool water in. I didn't realize that WAS my back up bottle. Any substitutes or ideas? I don't suppose Leslies would carry that.. Meanwhile, I'll...

    Green Algae Stains

    The pool has had algae problems since the beginning of the season. The pool has been neglected due to 2 rounds of covid, an illness then major surgery. Now that I am semi-able to get out there I noticed there are deep green stains in the gunite that won't come off with a brush or a scrub...

    Dolphin M600 schedule

    I’d say yes, 2 hours would be more than adequate. Unless… it gets hung up on a drain or stuck in a corner. If there is debris left after two hours once in a while, then just manually turn it on. Good luck! Mine gets caught on the drain at least once a week, so I’ve got to figure something...

    After the freeze... Swamp Alert!

    @ ajw22 Well, today I figured out what happened. You know the cards that come with the T-100 kits? I have an original one and the new one. I didn’t realize the TA instructions and the CH instructions were not in the same order. I’m not sure exactly how I got to “90”, but I’m pretty sure I...

    After the freeze... Swamp Alert!

    I meant to say reduce the TA a bit. (Can you tell chemistry was not my strong point in school 1000 years ago?) Thanks for the catch.

    Any Suggestions for a pool cleaner?

    We bought our Dolphin about 10 days ago. Call Margaret at Marina and she’ll ask you some questions and fit you with what you might need. She won’t upsell you. The robots basically all do the same thing, I have heard. It depends, I think on the layout of your pool. Also, they have the best...

    Dolphin M600 Quality Issues?

    Just curious, have you tried both Models? Margaret (recommended by many on TFP) with Marina Pools recommended one of the 30’s or the M600 but leaned towards the M600 for MY pool layout and obstacles, and even apologized for recommending an expensive one. Many here have been talked OUT of...

    Dolphin M600 Quality Issues?

    That’s discouraging.. :neutral: I’m buying another one today for our kids. Hope they dont have the troubles you described. I can see brushes wearing out after a few years, but man, you’ve had some bad luck. Hope is gets resolved. (Maybe I’ll leave my booster pump on, just in case.)

    After the freeze... Swamp Alert!

    To 50? I'm not on salt yet, but I hope to be soon. I have to check out the salt equipment first. Installed 2012, but never seemed to keep up. I was depending on readings from the inside EasyTouch controller.

    Do you still use the same M600 robot? Have you had any new issues? Do you leave it in the water? Just curious, I'm a new M600 user. Thank you!
