Can you leave a Dolphin pool cleaner in the pool? Can you leave the Dolphin in the water? It is safe to leave your Dolphin cleaner in the water when not in use. However, (when adding chemicals to the pool) please remove the Dolphin until the proper chlorine and PH balance are obtained.
What RPM should I run my Hayward variable speed pump? Generally, I run my equipment at 1700 RPMs for 10 hours. I run this with the saltwater generator set at 50% for 10 hours. In my case, 1700 RPM’s is the minimum I can do to reliably activate the saltwater generator and filter the pool.
Why is my pool pump running but not pumping water? The pool pump runs but has low water flow. It could be something blocking it, a dirty pool filter, or too much air in the system. If there’s something blocking your pump’s suction, check your filter gauge. If it’s 10psi above the normal reading, clean your filter. This will reduce pressure and reset your pump’s flow.
Can you use a robotic pool cleaner on a vinyl pool? Although most robotic cleaners will state that they work on any pool surface, there are some robotic cleaners that I would not recommend with a vinyl liner. Aquabot cleaners, the traditional type, have a small risk of damaging a vinyl liner when parts wear out.
What PSI should a pool pump run at? Normal pressure for most pools is between 10 and 25 PSI (70-170 kPa). The pressure for filtration systems varies depending on the type of filter, the size of the lines, the pump and other pool equipment.
Can you use a robotic pool cleaner in an above ground pool? Robotic pool vacuums take the maintenance tasks off your hands. These vacuums will clean the entire bottom of an above ground pool completely on their own, making them a great option for people who enjoy the set-it-and-forget-it lifestyle.
Are single-speed pool pumps being discontinued? After the July 19 cut-off date, manufacturers will no longer be able to produce pumps that don’t meet the efficiency requirements.

What chemicals are needed to maintain an above ground pool? Things you’ll be testing for include chlorine, PH, total alkalinity, Cyanuric acid (stabilizer), and calcium hardness. The levels need to be properly balanced for safe and clean water before swimming in it. The free chlorine level should be between 2.0 and 4.0 ppm. The PH level should be between 7.2 and 7.8.
