I recently swapped out the ol' polaris with a new Dolphin S200 and it works pretty great -- except for when the basket gets clogged.
Situation is that I have two live oaks next to the pool, and they're shedding leaves like crazy. I have empty both my skimmers twice a day to keep up and there is a carpet on the bottom. That's no problem --the problem is that the DolphinS200 filter basket's entry flap thingamob gets clogged by the leaves and it can no longer suck up the bazillions of other leaves.
Tomorrow I will try to duct tape down the flappy entry flap into the basket and see if that helps -- anyone have any other ideas?
TIA
