Just had a brand new iAqualink 2.0 system installed and even got it connected to my wireless network (solid yellow and green lights). However, when I go to their website to add the device to my account, after typing in the serial number and a location name, I get the error "Make sure device is...

Convinced my pool guy to do some vacuuming “blindly” (he wanted to wait for the water to clear so he could see). This helped a lot. Finally started to see some progress and today I can see the bottom! Not the heads or tails of a coin but the bottom nevertheless. I’m optimistic that we will be...

Thanks for the advice. Will try these. If I decide to drain and refill is there any downside besides wasting 30k gallons of water and all the chemicals I’ve put in so far?

Dont be sorry, I appreciate the quick response! I’m pretty sure about the CYA. I usually have my son’s younger eyes double check me. Using a brand new TF-100 kit. I have been removing any floating debris but there is probably quite a bit more on the bottom (cant see). Will run the robot vacuum...

So I had a double whammy- a hole in my cover over the winter and two weeks of no power to my pump due to a cut electrical line. The result is quite green. This is not my first SLAM and I have been successful before using the advice on TFP. I really thought I had it down but I am on day #13...

Any opinions on this? Just want to know if it makes sense to switch to a single pump or if I should stick with two.

Not sure a blower will give me the same effect. Back to my original question, if using 1.5” pipes for suction and 2” pipes for returns is that going to limit flow at the jets?

There is 2 inch piping to the heater. I should add that the 2hp pump with 2 inch pipes is currently sufficient to power the spa jets. I never use the 2 pumps together. - - - Updated - - -

So I have a “spa” attached to my pool and I put it in quotes because when they built it they did not isolate it from the rest of the pool. Currently it has It’s own 2hp pump using 2” plumbing. My pool uses a 1.5hp VS pump and 1.5” plumbing. I have several valves that need to be turned in order...

I should add that the water is currently green due to a hole in the cover over the winter. I have had a submersible pump running but didn’t think that would be adequate for SLAM so I have not been adding chlorine. Do you think it would work?

Due to a story that would be too long to tell here, I currently have no power to my pool's electrical subpanel. Electrician needs to run a new line from the house, which will be in about a week. In the meantime, I would like to get some water circulating and filtering. My plan was to hook my...

I am thinking about automating my pool but I am still currently running mostly old equipment. I do have a Hayward Super Pump VS variable speed pump for the pool. I have an old Lars heater which I am surprised each season that it fires up again. The VS pump and heater are controlled by an...

Thanks! I feel better.

I found what I thought was a good deal on a gallon of liquid stabilizer (brand was Pool Mate). But it came out of the bottle as sort of a white sludge and if I remember correctly it should have truly been a liquid. Furthermore, when I tested the water 24 hours later, the CYA had barely moved...

If you look at the connector on the power supply, it has 4 prongs, but the cable coming from the robot only has 2. Guessing the other two may be used on the s300 for additional functionality. What is the best strategy for using the two different filters? Use the coarse ones for routine...

Thanks! Going to order it as well.

Just got mine as well, so far so good. Dolphin also makes a universal caddy, not sure whether that one would hold the power supply. Looks like it might.... Dolphin 9996098-ASSY Robotic Caddy

Did any of you buy a caddy for this? I'm thinking of going ahead with it but would like to get a caddy for it. The s300 caddy would be the obvious choice but I haven't seen it selling separately. The other Dolphin caddies I see advertised all look the same but I just would like to get one...

Did he mention how the warranty would work given that you are not local to the store? Would you have to ship it back to Atlas, ship to Maytronics, or could you take it to a local dealer?

My pool is about 40 years old and I believe still has its original plumbing. Every year, without fail, there is a leak which needs to be repaired at significant cost. Luckily for me, the leaks have been pretty close to the pump and have never required pulling up our patio. My question is at what...

It took me about 10 days but probably could have been quicker. I ran out of FAS-DPD reagent in the middle and had to wait a few days. Definitely recommend the 2 oz bottle if working with high chlorine levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just did a SLAM with CYA level of 80. It wasn't that bad- spent about $75 on bleach, far less than the stuff Leslie's wanted to sell me. Also didn't need to add any chlorine for nearly 3 weeks after that which was a decent savings as well. Pool is consuming far less chlorine than in the past...

My new superpump vs has countdown timers but not a clock. When it powers on it will automatically go to V3 speed for the time I set and then go to V1 speed until power is cut. Works very well with my old mechanical timer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just bumping this. Is anyone using a cartridge based robot in the northeast with oak trees? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FC level has been holding around 20 for several days now despite 90 degree weather. Was expecting it to decrease faster. Is that because of the high CYA level? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgot to mention that. 0.5! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got my new reagent yesterday and was able to start testing again. Past three days I have just been adding 2 jugs of chlorine a day without knowing the level. Was happy to see I was still at shock level last night and overnight FC loss was zero. Water is crystal clear and doesn't smell...
