    Is Pentair's screen logic server down?

    Another update, it all randomly started working again. I have no idea how it got fixed but we're good for the moment.

    Is Pentair's screen logic server down?

    A little more information, I can connect locally via my android app but not with the app on my computer nor through the remote app when I am not on my home wifi. I reset my eztouch via the menu on the eztouch itself, and reset the indoors wireless protocol adapter by unplugging in and plugging...

    Dolphin Nautilus CC screw has no threads.. normal?

    Check your pool brush. It may have come from the ones that hold the brush to the aluminum support.

    Not normal at all. Where did it come from on the dolphin?

    Robot No Longer Gets Stuck on the Drain

    Added photos! I will likely need to add one more ring with some additional weight as the robot will shift the ring around with its tread occasionally. Other than that, this works great.

    Robot No Longer Gets Stuck on the Drain

    To the TFP member who suggested irrigation tubing around the drain I salute you. Context, there was a post from several years back regarding a member's robot getting hung up on the drain cover of their pool. Thiey experimented with creating loops out of 1/2" irrigation tubing and filling it...

    Robotic cleaner

    Best advice i can give is get the simplest cheapest name brand robot that has waterline and wall cleaning capabilities. I have had a dolphin cc (not the plus just cc) for 2 years now and just rebuilt it (see here My Dolphin CC Rebuild.). It does well on super fin debris like pollen with the fine...

    Water leveler woes

    I have the paralevel. Turn it counter clockwise to raise up the level of the pool. Check to make sure the float moves freely up and down. When you push down on the float, can you hear water running in the bucket the paralevel float is in? If not I venture a guess the lines feeding the...

    My Dolphin CC Rebuild.

    Update time, the weather has warmed up and the pool needed cleaned so back in Maisy the Maytronics Robot went. She has veen run three times and spent 2 nights in the pool (she will be removed and placed uner cover after this last run) to get things cleaned up. Pretty much like a new robot now...

    Check Valve Location

    If this just started to happen, My money is on a buried valve.

    Check Valve Location

    I have seen where the check valve is located below ground. It may be worth gently digging around the outlet piping to see if the valve is buried. If it is, you can likely rebuild it. I would also suggest taking a large irrigation valve box and seeing if you an make it fit around the piping to...

    best robotic cleaner for 50 foot inground pool

    I am doing ok with my Dolphin CC (no plus, no fanciness, just a basic basic robot). I got 2 years out of it being in the water more or less 24/7/365 with it running almost once a day. I recently rebuilt it (I posted another thread about that process) which was fairly easy and straight forward...

    Dolphin Nautilus Cc tipping over and shutting off after cord replacement

    the float should slide down the cord towards the robot easily, it takes some fiddling with it to get it to slide away from it. I have to slowly move the float towards the robot and then slows reverse direction away from it to keep if from grabbing the cord.

    Dolphin Nautilus Cc tipping over and shutting off after cord replacement

    Have you checked your cable float distance between the robot and the top of the water to ensure that its not causing the robot to float or become un-weighted?

    Pump Strainer Basket not Full and Bubbles in Return Line

    Water is flowing normally and there is no cavitation. I'll keep an eye on it until it warms up the see if I can get to the root of the cause.

    Pump Strainer Basket not Full and Bubbles in Return Line

    I went out and took a walk around the pool to check on everything and noticed bubbles (large ones) coming out of the returns, I headed over the pad and took a peek under the tarp and saw the pump basket was mostly full but not completely and there were bubbles in it. This is a new thing for the...

    Dolphin Proteus DX4 - not moving

    Unfortunately these robots aren't built to last. I had a similar issue with my Nautilus CC. I had to basically rebuild the entire thing including a new drive motor for the wheels. Before you get that deep though, check the impeller as mentioned above, and check the tracks, wheels, and brush for...

    Exploding Pool Filter (According to the news).

    I love the news and how it unsafe it makes maintaining your own pool seem. While I know its a concern and a little bit of safety goes a long way, I would venture the guess the exploding filter is not as common as the news makes it out to be. Cause for concern and extra steps to be safe, yes...
