Regular brushing will help keep the tile clean, but the main thing to worry about is the chemistry. Keep your CSI closer to 0 or slightly negative and you won't have issues with scale. See this article: Calcium Saturation Index (CSI) - Trouble Free Pool

Agree with the above poster. The basket type filters are so much easier to clean than the bags.

You'll need to send back to Maytronics for a replacement I'm afraid. Especially if it's tripping the GFI... I would not keep using it...

The Millennium is larger than the MAX so requires different accessories. The part number from Water Tech for the Millennium Sand and Silt bag is P32X022SS -- They are available direct from Water Tech for $22 but currently out of stock...

Awesome I will anxiously await your review!!

May I ask, where did you order from?

Amazon.com : Intex Auto Pool Cleaner : Swimming Pool Suction Cleaners : Garden & Outdoor - Suction cleaner -- Will require you to run your pool pump to clean the pool and won't do as good of a job of cleaning as a robot, but it's only $55 Amazon.com : Aquabot APRVJR Pool Rover Junior Robotic...

Pool Blaster Volt FX 8 Li OR Pool Blaster Max Li The Volt FX 8 Li is about 30% more powerful than the Max but costs $50 more Love mine, but don't expect them to last more than 2 or 3 years.

Hi there, what kind of budget are you working with in terms of a cleaner? Obviously robots are better but more expensive than pressure and suction cleaners. Also, if you have algae, the solution will not be to vacuum but instead to follow the . Automatic cleaners are great for leaves and...

I definitely understand! With pools there is always something newer, bigger, better, fancier that you see and want! Just prioritize what will make your life easier. Definitely get the pump checked out if it's brand new and not acting right. I think a sand filter would make your life easier...

You can hook up a manual vacuum head. Depending on how powerful your pump is it may or may not work well for you... I think you will just have to try and see... something like this Amazon.com : Milliard Sea-Thru Triangle Weighted Pool and Spa Vacuum Head, 11" Wide Cleaning Surface Safe on Vinyl...

Check out the Volt FX 8 Li from Water Tech. You can buy them online for around $250. Should be a great vacuum for your smaller pool.

Thanks for the info. I will do a little more research. It seems that the Sigma is a residential version of the Dolphin C3 which is actually sold as a commercial unit, so I don't doubt you on the power. I was just wondering if you had particular reasons for choosing it over some of the other...

I'm curious, what made you choose the Sigma over the other Dolphin models?

Marina Pool Spa and Patio will send you an S200 which is a VERY nice robot... for around $700~ Many users on this forum have purchased from them. Call and ask for Margaret (must call, no online orders)

Rick, Wanda the Whale a suction side cleaner manufactured by Hayward

Yeah, I think you are getting some of the ones from the bad batch.... Surprising since Maytronics is usually top notch but hopefully they will make it right for you

Can you maybe ask her for the entire range of serials and post here so others maybe can check theirs if having issues without having to call?

So my only thoughts are that the original polaris bag actually has a divider in the center to help keep the debris in the bag and from falling back out into the bottom. Panty hose would not be able to do that. It would just be a big bag without the U shape of the original.

You seem to have it all pretty accurate. Unfortunately it seems the M600 is delayed and the IO line won't be until at least next year so the M500 is looking like your best bet for now.

https://www.troublefreepool.com/blog/2019/01/18/calcium-scaling/ "Calcium scale can be very difficult to remove. Small patches of scale can be removed with a pumice stone. In mild cases, lowering your CSI to about -0.8 and brushing aggressively can sometimes remove scale, particularly when a...

Looks like the Polaris is narrower but taller than the Dolphins. Might be a good fit for you for tight corners. I don't have any experience with the Polaris robots so that's all I can say. See if you have a store around that carries them and ask if you can try one out.

You got it, psdtime! You need the FAS-DPD chlorine test FAS/DPD Chlorine & CC's test to properly perform the SLAM procedure (key is MAINTAINING free chlorine at shock level until you meet all requirements to stop SLAMing).

You may need to consider buying the ultra fine filter: https://www.amazon.com/Maytronics-Dolphin-9991460-ASSY-Cartridge-Assembly/dp/B074R5LCQ8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=dolphin+ultrafine&qid=1559613523&s=gateway&sr=8-3-spell The one that comes with the E10 is mostly for larger debris like leaves and...

If you have algae, you need to SLAM the pool. SLAM - Shock Level and Maintain - Trouble Free Pool The robot will help collect algae but if it's continuing to grow that robot won't be able to collect it fast enough. You need chlorine, not a robot.

Jay, take a look at the S200/S300/S300i (these are the essentially the same robot with increasing feature upgrades like Bluetooth control for the higher-end version). The Active 20/30/30i are the same robot just a different case/name as are the T35, T45, and T55i. There are also the M400 and...

M600 was supposed to be this summer but it has been delayed for software issues. Should be this year. The IOx3 / IO series I believe is slated for next year. The IO series has sensors to map the pool (much more advanced than what is on offer now). The M600 doesn't have the new sensor...

Coming soon.

I would recommend the Echo, Encore, Solo, Doheny's Saturn or Nautilus CC. These units are designed to clean the walls of pools so they can climb vertically. The S50/E10 does not do walls and therefore may struggle with extreme slopes. You won't have any issues regardless of the slope if you...

If you call (YOU MUST CALL!) Marina Pool Spa and Patio they can sell you a brand new one for close to or at that same price. Dozens of users on this forum have bought from them. And, if you do not live in Colorado (where they are located), no tax. And free shipping. If this other website...
