As the title says, my Dolphin Z5 has stopped functioning properly. When I turn on the power supply the robot rotates right, rotates left, and then just stops and does nothing. Any suggestions? ac

I just noticed last night that the return nearest my pump was bubbling profusely. It was very apparent with the pool lights on. I did a little trouble-shooting. I turned off that return and turned on another. The bubbles moved to that return. The weird part to me is that I have NO air...

So realistically speaking, will repeatedly battling high pH lower TA over time or does one have to set out deliberately to lower TA? TA of my fill water appears to be ridiculously high and my pH climbs ~.6 daily. For my 20k gallon pool that is amounting to ~1 gallon of MA daily with my TA...

We were told by our pool builder that our brand new pool is "swimmable" this weekend! I figured I better check the water chemical conditions first. Results with my new TF-100: FC: 4.0 CC: 0.0 pH: 8.2 (possibly off the scale) TA: 400 ?!?!?! I did this test twice. The fill water was from a...

I'm killing myself trying to sort through the different options PB's are proposing for a Viking Venice 16x40 fiberglass pool my wife and I are getting quotes on. What the heck is the difference between the Hayward AquaPlus and the ProLogic? We are doing a pretty basic install. No spa, no...

I'm getting quotes from pool builders and so far the 2 we've narrowed it down to propose 2 different SWG controllers. 1 proposes the Aqua Plus and the other the Aqua Rite Pro. The Hayward site is terrible trying to compare these things. Our pool will be "simple". No water features. No...

I'm trying to compare pool quotes from different builders and I'm having trouble figuring out what the differences between the Hayward pumps are. Both are quoting 2-speed pumps (at my request from knowledge learned on this forum). 1 proposed the TriStar, another the Max-Flo. I can't for the...

I've been interviewing PB's as my wife and I down-select. The PB we are 90% sure we are going with ties all of his return lines together. The pool we are choosing will most likely have 3 returns. I think I've read on this forum that the desired method is individual 2" lines to each? What are...

My wife and I are looking to get a fiberglass pool installed and we really like the 18x44 shape currently being made by Tallman Pools in Georgia and Lifetime Fiberglass in New Jersey: Rio Grande - 8' Depth - Fiberglass Pools and Spas I went and saw one in person, and it LOOKED smaller than I...

I remember seeing a post or 2 on this forum showing people who had jets built into the benches on their fiberglass pools, but I'm having trouble searching to find them again. Anyone have jets in the benches of their pools? Were they worth the added cost? What was the added cost? How are they...

I've been researching getting a fiberglass pool installed in Northern NJ. It seems Viking and Blue Hawaiian are both pretty popular in my area. We've interviewed 6 PB's so far, and now 2 of them have brought up "Lifetime Fiberglass Pools" as a possible alternative they felt was "better". They...
