Back in July 2021 I replaced my Prowler 920 electronics with: 9995388-EX Motor Unit. This was after a failed attempt at cleaning the impeller motor. The first motor unit lasted about 3 years. The replacement motor unit lasted just over 2 years. The impeller motor in the replacement unit was...

I run mine daily and it stays in the pool other than when I'm cleaning it. A brushless motor would be better. The brushes wear and the carbon from the brushes builds up and has no where to go and it will eventually fail...so it really does have a limited number of cycles before it fails.

My Betta 2 died just shy of 3 months. When it worked, it was awesome. I bought the warranty up front and just shipped it back for repair. As others have stated, they covered the shipping. At first the ON/OFF switch stopped working...it was stuck on (better than being stuck off). It seemed like...

I never re-visited this after replacing the entire motor unit which by the way was expensive. The impeller motor is definitely the issue, but you can't find a replacement for just the impeller motor anywhere. In theory you could replace the brushes on the motor, but it looked tricky and...

My Betta 2 arrived on Friday and I finally had a chance to deploy her today. I back up to a wooded area, so we have a constant stream of stuff blowing into the pool and the light stuff has trouble getting picked up by the skimmers. I am very impressed, does a great job picking up the small/light...

Update...I was able to run a few cycles, but then the robot shut down again. Robot is 5 years old, so I went ahead and ordered a new motor unit. When I get a chance I will pull the motor unit apart and see what I can learn. I suspect the impeller is working, but there is too much...

My Pentair Prowler 920 (Dolphin Active 20) would only go a few feet and shut down. Using the YouTube video above I pulled it apart. It looked like something had burned up, but on inspection this was carbon/graphite dust from the impeller brushes. I pulled apart the impeller motor and cleaned it...

Dust from impeller motor all over inside of motor unit

I’m interested if I can be added to group buy or we can do another group buy.

I went ahead and pulled off the valve and will reassemble it tighter with pipe dope. I rebuilt the burner assembly with a new frame along with a new pilot but realized the pilot tubing (connects pilot to valve) was damaged, so had to order this. Looks like the replacement is slightly different...

I had a small leak from where the temperature sensor threads into the pipe that has likely been there since the unit was installed. Unfortunately this rusted out the burner tray and pilot. I have parts on order and have removed the existing burner assembly. I noticed that the connection between...

I spoke to my neighbor when I first noticed it. He contacted the pool company on my behalf and asked the pool company to please call me to discuss. Not surprising, they never contacted me. This pool company is well known for horrible customer service and it's not uncommon for them to not call...

The moronic gunite company did not put up a barrier when they shot the neighbors pool that includes a hot tub sitting about 6' off the ground. My entire back patio and pool are covered in small rocks (smaller than a childs pinky in size). There are thousands of rocks in my pool. Is it okay to...
