Does anyone know if there is a difference in warranty support when you buy a Dolphin directly from a pool store vs. their storefront on Amazon? My specific example is the Doheny Advantage Ultra which is $899 directly from Doheny, yet is $849 on Amazon from the Doheny storefront. I can't seem...

Hi everyone, I am heading down the path of automation and looking at the Pentair Intellicenter. Am needing the pool + spa combo with the salt cell (IC 40) and probably the 8 relays since I believe the cost is only slightly more than the 5. However, I'd like to get several price quotes to...

Hi everyone, I have a Dolphin Nautilus pool cleaner that flips over very frequently. This typically happens in the shallow end of the pool and essentially makes its useless as intended. Its basically impossible for us to drop it in the pool, turn it on, and let it do its thing without waiting...

Hi Everyone, Yesterday I completed (or so I thought) our first DIY pump swap, removing the old Whisperflo for a new Intelliflo. Everything went well, pump was installed, got it primed, and ran the pump for the remainder of the night schedule as I had programmed. Fast forward to this morning...

Hi Everyone, I just completed my first DIY pump install today in which I replaced my Wisperflo with our new Intellflo. Everything went well and we seemed to be up and running. Tonight, I went outside to check on everything and make sure the pump was turning off as scheduled - it did...

Hi everyone, Looking for opinions on what a reasonable price would be to replace an existing pool pump with a variable speed (**note installation price only). Basically I'm trying to see if I should just do it myself or leave this one to the pros. I've had one quote that was just north of...

Hi everyone, I have a Triton TR100 sand filter, and I noticed the other day that the little clear plastic part at the top of the filter where the pressure gauge is located is leaking. It looks like there are 2 or 3 pinhole sized leaks, and while it doesn't look like a major leak of water I...

Hello Everyone, I am leaning towards replacing our current pump, which is a Whisperflo single speed 2.5HP model (see pic), with a variable speed intelliflo 3HP model, such as the one below: Amazon.com : Pentair 011018 IntelliFlo Variable Speed High Performance Pool Pump, 3 Horsepower, 230...

Hi Everyone, When we bought our house, it came with a pool cleaner that looks like a jeep and has an attached bag that captures the dirt, leaves, etc. I believe it is made by Pentair. While it does capture some debris, it never seems to get the bottom of the pool completely clean, so we...

Hi All, As you may know from my previous posts, my family bought a house with a pool last July. We've been learning about taking care of our pool, bought our TF-1000 kit and have been maintaining desired levels by manually adding bleach and muriatic acid. So after a bit of time we figured...

Hi All, I had posted a thread in the "just getting started" forum, but I wanted to post a separate thread as we work through our water chemistry and how things are progressing. Last weekend, our first TF-100 test kit arrived in the mail and we ran our initial tests. The results were: Date...

Hello Everyone, New member here, with the recent purchase of a home that came with a pool. Best I can tell, the pool was installed in 2005 or 2006. In full disclosure, I feel a bit overwhelmed as I've never owned a pool before, so I wanted to turn to the experts to get advice and a good...
