Thank you.

The salt (sodium chloride) gets converted to chlorine and the chlorine acts as a sanitiser to kill off harmful microbes so the pool is safe to swim. 😀

Coming into winter here in Sydney, Australia. How is it Tulsa?

Ohh, thank you.

Check the Owner's Manual page 18; there are instructions at the back for General Troubleshooting. Could be that the charging pads are dirty. Always rinse the pool robot with tap water and dry the charging contacts before putting on the charging station.

Yes, I know a lot of people talking about it and I know a few guys who've got one. Must catch up with them to see it in action. Definitely on my list to get.

If you feel the need to backwash, due to bad flow every week, then you probably need to replace the sand

Agree, once a month should be adequate for a filter in reasonable condition. And rinse for about 30 secs so you don't have a cloud of dirty water return to the pool once it goes back onto rinse.

Agree, if you need to backwash weekly you've got a problem. When was the media changed last? Most people, never.

Yeah, everyday is different. Sometimes sunny, sometimes rain. Just great being outdoors. Thanks for watching. Best wishes poolside.

Not hiring at the moment but I know a lot of other pool businesses are looking for experienced pool technicians if you ever make it to Australia. Best wishes.

Yeah, can be difficult when you're in between the tenant and landlord. I've been caught out before. No I make sure I know who's paying the bill and get payment up front.

Unfortunately not. Unlike robot lawn mowers which use perimeter wires and docking stations, the pool environment is too dangerous for nearby electrical supply to charging stations. For the moment, we'll need to carry the pool robot from the charging station to the pool. They are pretty cool to watch though.

Yep. pretty strong

lol, no... You need 100s of lbs of salt in order for the chlorine generator to work.

Almost 1000s depending on size

It's a good idea to turn off the cell when you add salt but as long as your only adding a bag or two it's probably OK. It depends on the chlorinator you have as to whether you can turn off the cell but keep the pump running. If you want to do this, you can always unplug the pump from the chlorinator and plug it directly into a power point.

Is it possible to set the output level on the chlorinator to 0 effectively turning it off but still having the pump running?

Totally understand concerns about rechargeable batteries. These tend to be cheap imports of batteries and/or charges that aren't suitable. The Zodiac FreeRider has an integrated battery management system designed so it can be safely left on the charger once fully charged. If you want a good pool robot with cable I'd recommend the DuoX that the FreeRider is based on. Essentially same machine but differs with cable (DuoX) or battery (FreeRider). Any machine, regardless of brand, that has a cable should be removed from the pool for several days each week to extend its longevity (see Owner's Manual for further advice from manufacturer).

@@poolcrewau lovely stuff, I'll check it out. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the suggestion. Life has been very hectic over summer in Australia. Loads of rain interspersed with very hot days. Will ad the Day in the Life vids to the list for the quieter winter months.

Thank you for watching.

Great to hear! I've been super impressed too. I love the ease of taking to the pool and dropping it in. No power supply. No cable.

Sorry, I don't know of better seals. I normally have another company repair pumps for me ... there are fewer and fewer pump repairers now.

The active brush design is based on the Duo-X cleaner and similar robotic cleaners from Zodiac with many years of history. It's as good as these cleaners and cleaners of other leading brands. The app also allows for a Waterline Only cleaning mode so it spends the whole cycle just doing this. I have several customers who have this in their pool and when I'm there every 2-4 weeks the waterline is clean. If you end up getting one, let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for watching. Agree, very cool.

Thanks for watching.

Sorry I missed your post. Probably better to get a local pool technician to take a look as it will differ depending on the type of chlorinator. Otherwise, plug the pump into a timer plugged into power point / electrical outlet so you're controlling it directly if you're needing to repair the chlorinator.

hehehehe

Ahh, thanks for watching.

Hi Alex, sorry, missed this comment. The Astral E-series is a good, economical chlorinator and the E35 is a good size for a 50,000L pool and allows additional capacity in summer. If you want the next level up in chlorinator cell and are interested in an entry level internet connected system, then take a look at the Astral Halo series.

Thanks

Yeah, but it's pretty chilled.

Thanks for reaching out. Always good to see how others do it. I love catching up with other pool techs to learn something new.

Heaps of work available.

The salt gets converted into chlorine by equipment called a chlorinator. The chlorine helps to sanitise the water and make it safe to swim. In Australia, about 90% of pools use salt chlorination; we have very harsh summers with strong sun and loads of rain and this method is the most reliable for busy people.

Sorry I missed your comment. Hope you've fixed the pool now.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have a preference either way. I usually let the customer decide. Sand still does a very good job at keeping the water clean and clear. Technically, glass probably does a better job, requires less media in the filter tank and less water to backwash.

Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback.

Ocean: yea but I don’t have alligators so people like me more 😊

Is this a copied comment?-

😹

The salt is added to produce chlorine. People often mistake salt water pools haha

Sorry I missed your post. In generally, you should be able to vacuum on filter mode and then backwash/rinse after if you have sufficient water. If the pool has a lot of debris, algae or floc settled on the bottom, you're better off vacuuming to waste so it bypasses the filter and all that junk doesn't block the filter.

Yes, very chill. 😀

Just salt like in the ocean.

It won’t harm your eyes you can open your eyes in the water without goggles

Thank you! Cheers!

I really appreciate you watching

Thank you for your support

It's pretty cool; super light weight. New era of battery operated robotic pool cleaners coming.

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed.

@@poolcrewau It's only a 27" round above ground. Was not very dirty stopped in middle under a hour. Tried it 3 times and now am returning going to try the dolphin. Thank You
