Have had ABG for many many years. Had to get rid of it due to wife's medical problems, couldn't climb ladder! Now she is a "little" better and trying to talk me into hot tub. Just got rid of the pool. My question = How much trouble maintaining water balance? Let me mention that IM 78 years old...

Now this looks interesting, if it works as advertised. I would go for something like this! I'm a gadget freak!

I figured that was the normal operation. There may be one or two little spots it doesn't get, but as I said getting on in age and don't miss the vacuuming! It does a good jpb!

Have a question regarding pool pattern memory. Is there any robotic cleaner out there that really remembers the cleaning pattern of your pool? I have a Dolphin S50 for my AGP, had for 3 seasons now and it seems that every time I put it in , it's a new adventure for it? It does clean the pool in...

I never thought to check for the return to zero, but sure enough it's reading 10 lbs static. Every year I store the pump in the shed and it does get cold here. Oh well, put the old one back in> Thanks for timely come back, you guys are great!

Have had my AG pool for the past 27 years. Every year upon opening ,normal pressure of gauge was reading 10 or 12 lbs. Even after adding DE it would stay at 10 to 12 lbs, until it started getting dirty then I would bump it at roughly 17 lbs. This year it is different. Just opened it and...

for it, have had my pool for some 27 years. Every year would debate getting robotic cleaner, always passed on. Until lasy year, finally got a Dolphin S50. have a AGP. Don't know why I waited so long?

Tnks for come back. As I said S50 does a great job of cleaning. Wasn't complaining, just kinda curious?

Have the pool for 24 years(had 2 different liners) and used pucks most of the time. Don't remember having this stuff. Brushed once in awhile. Of course will be doing it more often now. Tnks for help - - - Updated - - - All of your answers have helped. I will keep a better eye on this and brush...

My question is simple? Do these robotic cleaners really remember the layout of your pool? This is the first season using the S50. Even though it does clean the pool, I think it is a little erratic in the way it goes about it? I'm thinking, maybe there some that are better at it than others? S50...

What I have been reading here is that although all your numbers are great it is still possible to have algae? Here they are FC= 6 CC=0 TA=90 CYA=40 According to CYA chart, my FC should be between 5 and 7. I try to maintain the split difference of 6. CC has been 0 since I've opened the pool...

Do it, you won't be sorry!

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Well looks like all of you have IGP"s Like to say something about AGP . After 24 years finally got a robotic cleaner. It"s a Dolphin S50. Highly selective "doesn"t do walls" Just bought prior to closing, used it twice and can't figure...

It's been suggested to me by local exterminator, to use softener sheets or oil of peppermint to stop the mice. According to him mice are allergic to whatever is in the sheets and the peppermint. Every year they make a huge nest in the motor compartment of riding lawm mower. Not since I lay a few...

Have had pool for 20 years. This my first closing after converting from baquacil(don't use it). I usually close about 2nd week Sept. I have someone do it for me because of heavy stairs. Reason I close early because of leaves got a lot of em. I have used the polyquat just to ease my mind. Will...

I have that problem here in Western Ma. Changed my liner 2 years ago and had to have an exterminator come spray the liner area to the tune of $200. I don't have the biological name for them, but these little buggers thrive on moisture and vinyl. You got to spray

After 24 years of vacuuming, bought a Dolphin S50. Have ran it twice so far and it works great. Have 24ft ABG pool with stairs. It does get hung up around the stairs and I have to push it off. But I don't mind that love it so far. Time will tell.

After owning a pool for 24 years and doing my own vacuuming, decided today to get a robot. Every year I would toy with this idea, but today I did someting about. Went to my local pool store, they are a distributor for Dolphin. Was looking at the S300. but they said that was for an iGP, I have a...

OK ran a OCLT last night. Checked this morning FC dropped .5, CC=.0 Last night FC=6.5, this morning it's 6.0 according to my testing. I may be paranoid, but I'm the kind of guy who believes , if you're going to do something try to get it right. The "green " stuff isn't consuming the whole pool...

It's baaaack, the green stuff I mean! I'm a little confused. Was under the impression that as long as your CC was at .0 or.5 you shouldn't have anything in the pool? My CC has been at .0 for the last 10 or so test. I have some one close and open the pool due to a set of stairs I have. They...

Just wanted to share this with every one. Converted over to chlorine this year from bacquicil, any one whose has done it knows you go thru a lot of chlorine and a lot of testing. I found this app on google, it's called "Pool Pal". It's free and the author tied it in with readings from here at...

Tnxs for coming back so quicly! Every year I toy with the idea of buying a robot. What little time I spend vacuuming can't justify the price of a good one. So I don't have to slam, just bring FC up to 10 for 48 hours? Had the pool for 20 years, use to the dirt! Now I see where I goofed. Yes...

Here are my numbers FC=5.5 Usually keep between 6.0 and 5.0 Ph= 7.8 Plan on lowering this to 7.6 According to poolmath by adding 1.3lbs stabilizer CC=.0 TA=90 CYA=40 It's very hard here to keep a clean pool. I have lots of trees(not on my property) My property abuts the turnpike. I can vacuum...

My suggestion Get rid of it? Have had my pool for 20 or so years. Have gone thru 4 of these "automatic chlorinators". My problems was "O" rings, not being able to get cover off and leaks. One year couldn't get cover off, so brought to pool store. He tried, couldn't get it off. He went into the...

Using a Hayward EC-40 DE filter now. Looking to change to a cartridge filter. Looking at the Pentair 420. Have been using using flexible hoses on the Hayward since I bought pool (20 years). Can I use hoses on the Pentair? All the info I've seen on this filter refers to 2 1/2 in plumbing. Hoses...

Frustration is born out of ignorance. The ignorance I experienced, was not knowing what to expect once I started my conversion. Thanks to you people it became clear. I have a beautiful pool and am still learning the testing procedures. Its been about 2 weeks now and numbers are looking good...

Thank you for all the help! I couldn't have done without you guys! Now it's smooth sailing. Well almost, think the check valve on the pump is gone. Took it apart to clean and found a part in bottom of canister. Looks like the weight on the check valve. This morning checked the basket on pump and...

Tnks it's been a long one . Using knee high stocking in the skimmer! "pookie" I want to thank you personally. Your color description of my water as Mountain Dew made me go on. I really was going to close the pool up and forget it. We've had a pool for 25 years. Didn't sleep the night before and...

I think I'm there? Fc held at 15 overnight, CC is .5 or 0 depending how you look at it? Getting ready to add CYA. here are my numbers FC=15 CC= .5 or 0 PH= 7.6 TA=80 CYA= 10 . Solution is all the way to top of vial and I can still see the dot. How soon after adding CYA can you swim in pool...
