Don't call it innovative. They could have used Bluetooth but instead they require personal information so they can get into the data broker business. All this does is add extra steps and complicate what otherwise would be flipping switches and pressing buttons. As a professional in the industry, these units being used to control the pool from elsewhere in the world is such a rare occurrence. This unit nor that feature are not justified of the over 1,000 price tag

The gears look like they won't last more than a year or two to me.

Each week? So much work to own a pool! 😭😭

My Hayward pool cleaner stays on one side of the pool. I have checked every part and they are working good.

Do you still consider this the best pool robot? Wondering if you have new contenders in 2024

Thank you!!! I couldn't figure out why the pool lights were not working; this showed me how to reset the lights, problem solved!!! Your instructions were clear and concise!

My Polaris VRX IQ+ spent 95% of the time at Leslie's for repair. I bring it home. It cleans for 5 minutes and Error 10 again. Polaris sent me a replacement. The replacement worked for 1 month. After that, same thing. Ongoing repairs and ongoing Error 10. I have no kids, I check my pool levels twice a week with a Taylor Test kit. If the Polaris isn't **attempting** to clean my pool, it stays in my climate controlled garage. Now that I have two Polaris VRX IQ+ they both still spend 99% of the time broken. Today, they both error 10 after cleaning for 5 minutes. I've decided to give up on them both and trash them both today. My suction side pool cleaner is back in the pool again. Permanently this time. I'll never own another Polaris product.

i have a 40x15 and 7x7 (inside that 40x15 area) pool being built. Debating between just getting an all electric heat pump or a dual system that lets me connect propane (my house is all electric). I also have solar panels but they haven’t kicked in yet. Brand new home. What do you suggest for Me? Also in SoCal. I’m worried I won’t be able to use the spa at all in the winter if I go with electric heat pump only.

Your son is amazing. Bright kid..God Bless..

overly complex.

I have a Pentair 2000 Series filter that makes a sort of gurgling noise and emits a gray cloud out of the skimmer line whenever the pump is turned off. Additionally, I found a broken 1.5" diameter o-ring inside the filter. What could be causing the problem?

According to Pentair, the amount of DE to add should correspond to the filter size with one pound of DE per square foot of filter size.

How much do you charge for a new plaster startup?

I just bought this pump. I have 2 black wires and 1 green wire. I understand the ground. How do I connect the black wires correctly? Circuit breaker has 2 15 amp breakers.

One question, I have a HammerHead what type of battery can I use?

Thank you 🙏

An issue with this product is despite it saying it can be used for salt pools, it doesn't actually test salt levels. Kinda deceptive advertising

Do you have a video on how to clean a DE filter that’s below ground level?

Thank you so much !

Why does my kreepy krawler not move or just stands on front two wheels or just goes in a small circle?

I’ve gotten really good with metal/iron treatments . Acid washes are a thing of the past .

ill just cut a PVC and use a hose clamp. Then glue a pvc cap at the bottom. 50 dollars is a lot for a holder, but I do need one.

Do you have any pictures? Please

We’ve recently moved to a house with a pool and I wanted to disconnect the Polaris cleaner that was included with the pool. Glad I saw this video. Is there anything else I need to do after I remove this vacuum? Do I need to seal the hole where the vacuum was?

We know the Periodic Products people. My wife took the STAR (Stain treatment and removal) course they offer. We like this process and have had good results. The problem we come across is pricing. To properly treat a 10k gallon pool we start at $400. Some pools need a lot more than just a simple treatment. We have charged as much as $700. While the CuLator is a great device, on severly stained pools we will drain them after pulling metals from the surface then fill using the Fill Fast device from Periodic Products to ensure good, metal-free water is used for filling. We also don't like doing this in the summer as to properly remove stains is a time process. Keeping a pool from going green with 0-1ppm chlorine is hard in the south Florida summer.

My one does not suck surface debris in

Thanks for the video.

Cartridge filters all day

It made me feel sad and old when they stopped making comversion kit for the warrior filter .

I’m actually a Pentair quad DE cartridges fan , u get the DE filtration with the non fragile DE grids ( which tear way too fast!)

I can see a Hybrid system work...Meaning a LARGE cloth filter mesh(same used in DE) over the cartridges, and using DE. Also a PRO TIP: If you have a single spot or so on the DE grids, you can easily seal them up with 100% silicon caulking. So in my opinion, the DE cost is lower(8 72sqft grids are about $200). You can also do a manual backflush without the hardware. Maybe a COMBO, 2 filters, a Sand and a DE, or Cartridge. True that every 4-6months I have to spray down the grids to a perfect clean grind, replace and add about 7.5# of DE for 72sqft. Mine is SSteel and about 30 years old. ZERO rust, so far working darn good, with a drain valve, as that bottom manifold needed epoxy to replastic some wear against the metal. DE is not that messy at all through, you can just wash it into the gras, OR use that natrual crushed rock or Perlite, works fine. Cartrdige is easier to work with and why Pool guys prefer it. Im not a young buck either 🙂 LOVE your videos, have helped me a LOT. ALWAYS LOG your work, so you have a reference!! OR keep this channel handy while YT is still available!

You think this will work for glass bead clean up

Bro, where have u been??? I hope you’re doing okay. I learned so much from you and continue to learn so much from you. U actually cha he’s my life and made me a better person bc of you. You had a small but important part in my life. How? My wife found me much more handy, I am able to complete tasks that I thought once were impossible for me. I started completing tasks I never thought I could do. You are a Pool master. And now my wife says: wow!! You know how to clean and fix the pool. Thank you man!!

why is there a 90 at the suction intake to the pump !!!!

Great detailed video. Solved my problem. Thank you!

could the mx6 elite be optimal for a 32 foot long by 13 feet wide in ground pool? I am on a budget for now and the mx6 elite requires less maintenance and less parts to replace, i also have a Xtreme power US 2hp variable speed pump, any suggestions i would love and appreciate

Simple instructions that have helped me today. Thanks for posting as it is much appreciated.

Are these not made to use in conjuntion with auto vacs? A client just got the Betta and it constantly gets caught on the vac line

One thing I don't see brought up anywhere is switching to a 2-speed motor as an option to a VS pump. The motor will retrofit onto existing single speed pumps. They run at 1725/3450 rpm and are DOE compliant. Two speed motors can be controlled with an automated system (requires 2-speed relay), or electro-mechanical timers, such as Intermatic. A T106 just needs to be added to work in conjunction with the T104, assuming 230V. There are even rear motor covers that have a toggle switch to manually change high/low speeds as needed. Just thought I'd throw that out there as even many pool pros aren't aware of that option.

Hey, where I can buy this Tecnician card from?

Thanks! Your video is now my owner's manual since my horrible pool company installed this pump and failed to give me the paperwork for the pump.

That squirrel wanted a ride

You forgot to mention a chair. Bring a chair so you're not hunch down when cleaning 😂. I can't clean filters when Im on my route. It makes the day feel extra long.

Two pits almost got to me. I was doing service work in a customer's backyard, who knew I was on property. They were supposed to be secured in the back bedroom when I was there. Fortunately I was near the gate when the dogs bolted out of the house. I got out an instant before the dogs hit the gate HARD. I didn't even have time to latch the gate, just braced myself against it. One more second would have been too late, they would have ripped me apart. That lady is no longer a customer. One time I was bitten by a medium size and a small size dog at the same time. Team work! A few puncture wounds but not much damage. Another time, a dog bit me on the butt. Fortunately he was old and had dull teeth, just a bruise.

Could I regulate the RPM of the pump from this panel? The pump screen is damaged and I can't see much

Out of all of these surface cleaners, which is the best in your opinion? If money were not a concern?

Great video, it helped me set up my pool pump, , much appreciated 👍

We get lots of complaints when we took time off now we do weekly billing

I enjoy cleaning filters . The key is at the very least once a month .
