Thank you, pooldv. I will certainly check that out!

Thanks Geebot, but thats not my cleaner. Mine is a 99996201-DIS, apparently manufactured specifically for Doheny. I appreciate your assistance!

I just spoke with Doheny customer service. I called as a courtesy to tell them of the difficulty I was having, and would they be willing to go bat for me with Maytronics. Their response was “we’re just a distributer”. They have mo interest in assisting me. You might want to consider this...

My Discovery stopped moving today. I traced the problem to the front wheel that drives the cleaner. I called Matronics to order a new wheel and bushing. The inside of the wheel hub and outside of the bushing was so worn that the wheel was loose and the drive gear would not engage properly...

I can pass along my 2 years of experience with my homebrew CL injection system, utilizing a fixed rate Stenner pump controlled by a timer. During the swimming season (June- October here in NE Florida) my CL remains between 4.5 and 6.0 (with CYA at 35) without any adjustments to the timer. Only...

A variable speed pump is the Cadillac of pool pumps. In my humble opinion, a 2 speed pump is much more cost effective. Basically, the low speed of a 2 speed pump is 1/2 Of full speed and gives 1/2 the amount of water pumped, but at that speed uses about 1/4 of the electricity that it does at...

One trick I've found helpful after opening the basket to clean the strainer is, after everything is buttoned up, to open the vent on my filter BEFORE starting the pump. On my system, this allows the basket to refill from the water in the filter. Priming time is greatly reduced.

Slam successfully completed. The pool looks great and no sign of algae. FC 7.5 CC. 0 PH 7.4 CYA 50 TA. 65 CH. 325 I followed the instructions to the letter and it seems to have solved my MA problem. I really appreciate all the help from TFP.

It's been a busy day...I spent 4 hrs this morning removing the lights (no visible algae there) and brushing everything including the lights. I did find some more spots of algae on the shaded wall. I then threw all of the pool tools and toys in the pool. FC is at 30ppm this evening and...

It's 7am and I passed OCLT - 21 to 20.5 overnight. CC is less than 0.5. As so as the sun comes up, I will remove the lights, brush everything and raise the CL to 30ppm. Somewhere on the forum I read that one could leave the lights on the deck. Seems to me I should leave them "dangling" in...

To answer your question, if you do have mustard algae, my opinion is you need to get after it now. Having said that, please take a look at the second post in the Just getting Started section of the forum. That will tell you what we need to help you determine if it really is what you think it...

Well said Mr. Splash. I forgot, but that's another thread.

Thanks for the quick replies. Chemgeek, when I brush, it creates a yellow dust cloud so I think I will proceed on the assumption that it's mustard. I'll have to go in the pool to remove and brush the lights - my hair is grey and I!ll wear an old bathing suit. I lowered the ph to 7.2 and CL...

I've been devouring the info on this site and using BBB for about a year. The site is great - thanks to everyone who makes it so. This is my 1st post. Yesterday I discovered my Kreepy Krauly bag had turned green. I soaked it in 40% CL for 3 hours and reinstalled. I then inspected the pool...
