Ok, Now I need Advice RE: Dolphin Dynamic

[Davenj]

White bag or green? Last year I noticed it would not climb the walls very well once the white bag got dirty enough. Pollen has been bad the last few days. My filter pressure went up 6 psi in about 4 days.

White. Maybe that's the problem. Pollen has been a Bee!

We've got the pool open, so I know it's not water temp--84 deg yesterday.

Thanks!

Anybody got any other ideas.

Carl-
The only time I have had the same symptoms as you with my Dolphin is when the water temp was really low or when the bag was super full.

Your temp is not the problem. Does it still refuse to climb when you first put it in with a clean bag?If so, then something is wrong.

Double check that you have it set to climb walls in the menu.....you probably already have done that, but I would set it to not climb, then reset it to climb just in case.

Hope it works out for you.

Try giving the bag a good rinsing - then wash it in the washing machine.

Reload it in the dolphin and I think you'll see a bid diff.

Also - if the bag is wet, I always have trouble getting the dolphin to sink - I usually just tilt it on its side when that happens.

I also always have trouble getting it to climb the walls if there's any slimy residue on the pool sides or bottom since it clogs the filter bag quickly. Also poor climbing after a few hours in a significantly dirty pool.

I did talk to Smartpools (the US distrib) and they suggested that I be VERY carefully that my filter bag is clean and not saturated. They also suggested I remove the floats and sent a weight to add if it needed that.

They also suggested testing the unit without the bag and seeing if it worked then.

My walls and floor are not slimey--no algae there!
