Waste, than maybe you can help me...figuring out what is wrong with the Caretaker. I've been talking to Polaris all last summer, had 2 local service techs come out last year and nothing was resolved. There are 2 issues:
1. The Caretaker (5 valve) leaks from the dome, where the ceramic dome attaches to the in-ground unit. We replaced the whole dome with a brand new one, all the O-rings and the clamp...it still leaks a lot when the PSI goes up.
2. The PSI is not high enough to rotate the heads. The most I can get is 10 PSI, the heads pop out but they don't advance, so I end up with a lot of stuff in a pile on the pool floor, kind of. I've noticed that the heads have different holes through which they blow the water, some are wider, some are very narrow, not sure if that has anything to do with the pressure and if they should be placed at different depths based on the openings.
I've been talking since Monday to a rep in the HQ, who was super helpful until he realized a)we have replaced everything last year and then he said to call a local service :grrrr: and b) we are the new owners, so the warranty doesn't apply.
