    Fixed My Dolphin

    Hey All- I think I have successfully fixed my Dolphin S200 that stopped moving a couple weeks ago. The problem was wear on the spindles of some of the gears in the transmission attached to the drive motor. It got bad enough that the gears would get jammed when the robot transitioned from...

    What pool cleaner? Opinions Needed

    My Dolphin S200 is failing. Again. It is 5 years old. I replaced the bearings in the impeller motor a year (or two?) ago myself with great success, but now the drive motor seems to have reached the end of its life and is seizing. Unfortunately, based on Internet searching and the forums...

    Sunlight, Slamming and CC

    Hi All, I have been SLAMming for a week to deal with a mustard algae outbreak and am getting inconsistent results. The pool has been clear for a few days, but chlorine usage is inconsistent. For example, last night before bed I had FC: 28 CC: 2 PH: 7.6 TA: 90 CYA 70 In the morning I had FC...

    Has anyone switched from SWG back to manual?

    My Circupool RJ-45 just died after 6 years of service. The cell probably still has some life left, but the controller died- I can see a burned out power transistor on the circuit inside. Last year the keypad died on it and the Circupool warranty only prorated a replacement, and not by much...

    Circupool Controller Buttons not working

    Hi All, I just discovered this evening that the buttons on my 5 year old Circupool RJ45 SWG are no longer working. The display still works and the unit functions but pressing the power button, holding the OK button and all other buttons results in no response. I took the controller apart and...

    Concrete failing at the tile line

    Hi All, Since moving into my house 6 years ago I have been having problems with the tile line on my ~ 30 year old gunite pool. One whole section of tile came off a few years ago. I discovered I couldn't get the same tile any more- they don't make it, so I used a section of a similar pattern...

    Pruex FC-9250 Filter Set for sale

    I don't know if it is appropriate to post items for sale in these forums, but I want these gone, so I figured I'd take a shot. The previous homeowner apparently bought a full set (8 grids) of the FC-9250 only to find out they didn't fit Triton filter on the pool and left them sitting in the...

    Not generating enough chlorine

    I have really been struggling with my SWG this year. I have never had problems before, but this year I have not been able to keep my chlorine levels stable. I SLAMmed the pool about a month ago and went up to the mustard algae shock levels just in case there was any of that around. I scrubbed...

    System Pressure Anomaly

    I have some odd behavior that I can't explain, so I thought I would post here looking for an explanation. I recently replaced the A.O. Smith 1.5 HP 2 speed motor on my Hayward Superpump with the variable speed Ecotech EVSJ3-NS. The two speed motor was getting really loud and the low speed...

    I have a number of questions that I am struggling to find answers to and hope the experienced folks on this forum can help. Background: My equipment setup is shown in the schematic. My pool is irregular shaped and I guess somewhere around 25K gallons. The solar heater was just installed and...

    Pool turns green when adding water from my well

    Hi All, I've browsed these forums regularly for the past few years when I bought a house with a pool, but this is the first time I've needed to post looking for advice. This year I have just started having problems with my water turning green whenever I top off the pool with water from my...
