Local Home Depot has box of 2 for $14.98, and Lowe's $12.98, so Walmart still has a better price, if available.

Local Walmart also has 2-pack/box for $11.29, like 5c cheaper with the 23 date stamp.

The ones near me don't have any in stock are listing $10.88/box, and the ones do have them are $17.13. LoL.

WTF?! Lowe's is about $12. I guess I have to skip 3, 4 Starbucks. LOL. The good thing is the Sun is shifted now, so the water temp is lowering.

It was about the same $8.99 but for 2 x 128. Now it's about $1 more, but they are always in stock. The power chlorine went way up, at least at Leslie's, and now they keep giving out these 15% off promotions. LOL.

I too, just get my chlorine from Home Depot. The price is up just a bit from last year, but not too bad. I hardly use anything other than in the summer, so I don't worry a little price difference. Muriatic acid goes way up for some reasons, so I go to Lowe's to get that.

I usually get the 2 x 128 boxes from Home Depot (HDX) or Lowe's (Kem-Tek), and it looks like both are $1 more now.

In So Cal, Lowe's Kem-Tek 2 x 1 Gal 10% $7.98.

I usually drop in the floater with couple tablets to up the CYA a bit in the winter.

My pump runs during the day, so I usually run the robot early in the morning or later at night, letting the the dirt or whatever settle to the bottom for it to pick up.

Clarifer is supposed to lump the finer particles together so they get filtered out easier. I used it on occasions, well, usually when I messed up. One time I got lazy and instead of cleaning the filter grids, I just back washed. When I turned the water back, all kind of fine dirt and stuff...

LOL, yeah, I do have a tiny bit of the "algae on plaster" from time to time - true, I see what you're saying. Since it's too cold to actually use the pool at this point, it wouldn't go "full green" as long as the pool is maintained with the "minimum effort" as suppose to what's like in the...

Yeah, I understand that there are always places where the robots can't reach. I'm not talking about that. It's the middle bottom and walls. Also, I have a rectangular shape pool, so there are not obstacles the robot has to deal with. Maybe because the S200 is a bit smaller and lighter...

It's as simple as how clean the bottom and walls are after a cycle, comparing to the Nautilus I had.

Have the S200 for 5 months now. While it's doing fine, but I don't think it's cleaning as well as my last 1st generation Nautilus Plus. The Nautilus Plus actually scrubbed the plaster pretty well. A bit disappointed by S200's performance...

Yep, caught it for the first time last week. It was when it just started the cycle going up the wall. Since it was just started, so I was still there and had to yank the cable free.

And rhawke posted a pic on how it looks 1507. Also the Rough Filter.

My Nautilus Plus which I love died. The motor probably burnout when it got stuck on the steps. Looking for a replacement, and it looks like the Active 20 is a good one?

Found a YouTube video on repairing A Dolphin Pool Cleaner - it says that the older models power supply have a fuse, not the recent ones. Mine died last year, and that's what Maytronics told me too.

I have a Nautilus CC Plus, and one of the reasons I got it was the 2-yr warranty. My power supply died 2.5+ yrs in, and Maytronics replaced it anyway.

I usually let my robot loose after the filter is off. I run my filter ~5 1/2 hours, so the robot runs either at night or in the morning.

It might be doing a waterline run? Maybe the rubber tracks are older now so the robot is not able to stay on? It looks that corner is pretty shallow so adjusting the floaters probably not going to help.

That happened to my 2nd, and the last, Pool Blaster, a long time ago. I think the water got in there somehow. I was never happy with them, the battery life sucked, they got clogged up fast, and then the suction weaken. I have a robot now.

From the GIF, it looks like it just couldn't get its footing. Mine gets caught on the stairs from time to time.

I leave mine under the back porch. I does get a little of sun in the afternoon, but it's been ok.

I ordered mine from Epic and was pretty happy with their customer service.

I am not sure what I got that impression from either. Probably from the comparison between my and Leslie's. I did the 2 tests 10 ml and 25 ml and got 325 and 250 - you would think that the results should've been closer. I'm trying to determine if I could use Cal-Hypo to help jacking up the CH...

Yes. Thanks you.

Yeah, I tested it again with the 25 ml water test and it came back at 250, vs 325 before. I didn't think 250 was that low where it could cause a difference this big.

Is the TF-100 CH test accurate when the CH is at a low level? The instruction says, I think, that when CH is low, divide the number in half - is this right? I thought that my water was soft - I've tested it with 2 local Leslie's and the results were both on the low side, like 180, but the...
