Gigem94, Thanks for the update, interested in if and what the care package is when it comes.

I have never put my hand underneath to feel, however, it climbs the wall well and adheres well, better than my Active 30i. Be sure the filter basket is clean as that could reduce suction. I do not find app very useful at all, however, as I have said several times in previous posts, if they...

Thanks for sharing this, it will be curious to see the final result. When I bought my 1st robot, a Maytronics Active 30i, I bought locally but paid significantly more than at Marina's, But I needed warrantee work and they replaced the motor and cord, it lasted another 4 seasons, when again the...

Sande may be right, and while your Muni water now and at time of testing was low in iron, when you filled your pool it may have been high due to some repairs/cleaning that was being done at the time, I think many of the pipes of municipalities that supply the water are made of iron. Good news is...

CT, I feel your pain on manual vacuuming. hopefully an easy fix but let us know.

Hey Fab. Looks like you got a real education real fast, glad things worked out and thanks for posting your results.

Capp35, Sorry for delay on response but it has been busy. In regard to the error code 7 you experienced, I have seen my robot's top come out of water when climbing the steps near the top but only a few seconds before it turns/floats and went back under. Perhaps this is what happened but stayed...

My Evo 614 iq does climb my steps or at least 1st 2 or 1st 3, but it really does not clean them because the width of the step is too narrow for it to make a complete 90 before it gets to the next riser and the unit seems to "float" up 1 or 2 steps before it gets turned around and settles back to...

Taylor K2006 Kit does not test metal, so I would use a pool store for metals but be very suspicious as to accuracy of results, as I think you are by bullet point #2. Metals and algae are the 2 reasons for green that I know but Pat (Texas Splash) would know more than I do on that subject. Since...

Hi swolk, I just bought EVO 614iq after my active 30i died. I bought from Marina because of all the good mentions about them on this site. However if you read through this thread you have to pay to send it back to Marina for warrantee work if needed. I have only had it for about a week and I...

Consider one of the recommended test kits. The results are substantially more trustworthy and the ranges are better. Test Kits Compared

Welcome to TFP, It is a great site. I am not an expert especially on iron but will ask a few questions that will help some more knowledgeable people step in and help you. How did you test to get the numbers above? If you are using strips or taking to sample to pool store they are not valid in my...

bjxds, It has been a few days since last response, but is you are still looking for solutions I saw on this web site someone took a plastic case made a whole in the side for the cords to pass through as a protection. This case could then be mounted to the fence. With the unit being water...

Thanks Jim I saw that when it would start the power light blinks 2x, but my problem was getting it to blink. what I did do this afternoon was to push the power cord tightly into the socket, it worked as soon as I pressed the button, so I will pay special attention to being sure the cord is well...

Thanks CT, That is what I was afraid of.

Hi Jim, I am not talking about the app, been too lazy to set it up the past few days, I am talking about when I push the buttons on the power unit they do not register unless I keep them depressed for at least 2 sec, sometimes longer it seems to be a similar problem with either button. Usually I...

Since this thread seems to have turned into the EVO 614 owners club, has anyone had any problems manually turning the unit on or changing the mode manually. It seems to me I have to push the button and hold it for about 3 seconds to get it either button to register and sometimes it takes even...

Once set I only usually test 1-2 times per week, unless big party or something unusual, I know real hot sunny days take more also, so I just SWG up another 10% without testing and usually I am very close to 7. I think your big problem maybe not slamming at the beginning, you still have some...

I also had that problem in the past, and the light niche can be a problem child. for me it was the solar cover which I believe the water on top of the cover gets the direct sunlight and lowers the chlorine level of that water as it is not remixed. I solved it by doing a couple of things: 1)...

At least over 7.8, I would lower to 7.5 following instructions to lower from 7.8 to 7.5 so you do not over shoot. Also may want to look at your level TA if you lower TA it will also lower PH. I have the opposite problem my rain water and tap water are closer to 7.2 so I adjust up to 7.5 after...

RD783, My personal opinion, if you put the CYA in using sock in front of return when the sock is empty the CYA level reads pretty much accurate within a day or so but it is possible some of the CYA is undissolved in the filter for a few more days. But I think calling your CYA level at 40 is...

Thanks Marty, Just another question that brings to mind, does that "3 ppm" apply for all levels of CYA or can you go higher with higher levels of CYA and not have the strong bleaching or oxidation level as say 3 ppm with no CYA? I do not have plaster but I often here people remark that with the...

I tend to stare on a sunny day with my back to sun holding tube with 2 fingers at waist level. I think the problem with staring is that even with back to sun there is a glare that can resemble the dot, but in reality the "dot" has disappeared. if it looks like your 7002 pic that is what I look...

PS to my last post, if this is new pool, and CYA had never been introduced to the pool before your 3 lb. addition I would think the reading would have been below 30 ppm. This will cause FC to burn off fairly quickly and would be a good reason why you thought your 60 oz. did not do much over a 4...

Do not mean to disagree with PoolStored as I have read previous posts of his and he is quite knowledgeable about pools, But I would think that the results are 35 ppm for CYA if pic 7002 is the 35 ppm test, I see the dot way too well in 6999 and still too visible in 7001 for me. Also, when you...

I just had my Active 30i quit, signs point toward the motor, but it is 8 yrs old so I guess I can not complain. It spent most of the summer in the pool unless we were in it. It suffered from many of the complaints listed on the forum like cord tangling, hanging up on the drain, blue tooth...

Sorry I did not check email yesterday. OK right before we start to SLAM, lets address the PH. TA of 80 surprises me that PH is 7.8 but again I know my pool not an expert on water chemistry. But I would start to decrease the ph by adding Muriatic acid. If your pool is 13,700 gals then as I read...

Go ahead and do the TA test. do you have enough reagents to test your FC & CC? If so do that but I am thinking if last time you added chlorine was 22nd and no CYA your FC is closer to 0 than over 10 and I would then address the PH 1st. If you use pool math you can see how much Muriatic acid you...

Ok, I would still do TA test to verify PH test. Have you shocked or slammed the pool in the past few days? do you have enough reagents to test TA? Are the chems all from 3 years ago? I do not live in your area but a high PH around here is unusual. I hate wasting money on Chems. I sure do not...

Looks high 7.8 or 8.0, However if your FC is above 10 it will affect the PH reading. so just check that, this is wear I would test TA to help verify this PH reading. I would do that to be sure it coorasponds with this high PH reading, I am use to my PH being low at the beginning of the season...
