    Car Smell - What Have You Used?

    I hope you got a good deal! Years ago I worked as an engineer in an office where they smoked inside. I couldn't take the smell, so I moved myself into a trailor office in our manufacturing facility. I decided to upgrade the computer I pulled out of the old office and the whole inside of the...

    Doheny's Discovery (Maytronics S200) - Troubleshoot suggestions

    My guesses... 1. water intrusion into the motor unit case. This is mainly from the packing seals in the motor shaft bulkheads. Once it gets in, it wreaks havoc. Since it does run for 30 minutes at a time, my guess is it isn't motor brushes. 2. corrosion around the brass prongs of the blue...

    How bad is my friend screwed.... DWV pvc fittings used.

    Thanks... I'm not sure which way he is going to go, but if it can save him from breaking up the shell of the new pool/ spa section, I'm sure he will be relieved. He bought this house in Riverside CA with a fiberglass pool. His area is normally pretty dry. Since the pool needed a ton of work...

    Repair bottom stitching on FNS Plus filter grid?

    I used hot glue on the seams which got me through the summer season and through the winter. For the following season I bought a new set of aftermarket grids from Pleatco. They have held up nicely and were indecernable from the OEM grids.

    How bad is my friend screwed.... DWV pvc fittings used.

    Friend of mine is having a pool rebuilt where they are adding a gunnite spa. Pool builder used 2" or maybe bigger DWV pvc drain elbows for the pressure side of the spa, which is already encased in gunnite. He found this out after the fact and has made him replace all the elbows that weren't...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Hey Jim... do you know what filters our 614iq's orginally shipped with? I love this robot, but it doesn't come close to matching how fine of dust it can pick up when compared to my S200 (Doheny Discovery) with pleated filters.

    Official 2024 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    Couple smoked tri tips on Easter Sunday. Used Bulldog asian worcestershire as a binder and liberal amount of Cajun rub that a buddy produces. Smoked to 115 degrees and finished off with a sear to 130 degrees.

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Replacement heater....

    Holy Moly! I really have no clue what makes the unit so expensive. Does that titanium heat exchanger cost $3500 by itself? I know it's more efficient, probably super condensing, but I can't see it costing so much if you still have to deal with failing sensors, control boards, regulators ...

    Replacement heater....

    Probably your best bet... Although more efficient, ETi 400 suffers from all the same problems that the Mastertemps do, minus the leaks to the heat exchanger. Our Mastertemp Cupro-nickel version is going strong at 11 years. Also, you got 10 years out of your Mastertemp. How long will it take...

    Went to my local pool store to buy Liquid Chlorine and saw this....

    I have two end of life S200 variants at my house, that closely resemble those. Jan 1st, they are hitting the trash. Probably scanvenge a few parts off them, like the working control board, replacement power cord and working power supply. Maybe I can throw them on ebay or give some of the...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    This is the kind of debris I'm getting in the basket when I run it a couple times a week. I don't have a lot of trees around my pool, so I mostly get spiders, worms and travertine stacked stone deterioration dust.

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    All sales with Marinas Pool and Patio for robots must be done by phone in order to get TFP pricing. This is also a requirement in order to complete a brick and mortor sale, since companies like Dolphin or Pentair do not allow most of their robots to be bought through online sales. Dolphin did...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    It has a fine mesh, similar to a goldfish net or paint strainer. More than adequate for regular cleaning. My pool's system was designed in a way that allows some DE powder to flow back in the pool when I clean the pumps basket. Probably easily solved if I spent some time to figure out what...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I'm still very happy with the EVO after a few months of use. If it had a set of pleated fine filters, it would be perfect, but otherwise I'll just have to live with it. I will say, I haven't had a tangle yet with the EVO cleaner, unlike the S200 variant it replaced. That Doheny discovery...

    My Pentair Intellibrite 5G finally died!

    Pool was built in 2013 with three 120V color Intellibrite 5G lights. These arw controlled by Pentair automation. After 11 seasons of faithful service, one of the three lights finally died. What are my options? I would like to keep the replacement light or light engine synchronized with my...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    My old Doheny Discovrey S200 didn't like going up on our Baja shelf, which is about 10-12" depth. The Evo loves the baja shelf and sometimes launches water onto the deck as it passes by the edge. Not a real concern, but it is funny to watch the roost of water spraying out as it roll across the...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Not wanting to Crud on the OP's thread, but I did want to add a couple pictures for reference. I did think about starting my own thread, but this one might actually could be turned into the Official EVO 614iq thread, like my Doheny Discovery (S200) was turned into from 7 years ago. These are...
