If you aren't happy with Maytronics, then try Polaris. There are some off brand Chinese ones around too, not sure if they do a good job.

You said it works when you plug in into your house, so there is something on the outdoor circuit that is causing the device to error. There are many videos of Error 10 on these robots because it is a communication error between the robot and the controller; it happens when the wires get frayed...

This is how all Polaris robots are. You have to buy a fine mesh filter, which will get almost everything out of your pool. While it is a mild annoyance to switch filters, I find that the fine mesh filter does a great job getting all the fine silt out of the pool.

One thing to note comparing the Polaris vs the Dolphin is battery size. The Polaris has a 9.6 Ah battery, while Dolphin is 5 Ah. There will be a significant difference in cleaning time and possibly suction power as well.

Check each pin in the connector for continuity using a voltmeter to check if the cable is the issue.

If it is not still under warranty, check the credit card you used to purchase it. Many credit cards offer a 1 year warranty extension.

I would be concerned with them trying to excavate when the ground is so wet.

M600 was around last year too. Top of the line model.

Yes the CH in mine is way off too. I retested with the drops and some strips I had after I saw that result and their result is way lower than either. Their CH result was 179, my drip test was 320 and the strips showed closer to that range too.

I think the 25 ml is the standard...that is what the Taylor kits all use. The 10ml is different, and the results are somewhat different as you would expect since the ration of water to reagents isn't exactly the same.

Yes I am using a speedstir. Results are slightly different using the 2 methods...I wouldn't really act on either of the results so I guess its not a big deal.

I have a TF test kit and have a question about the Calcium Hardness test. The video instructions post a test with 25ml of water/20 drops r-0010/5 drops r-0011...this is the same instructions as the old Taylor kit I have. The printed instructions says 10ml water/10 drops r-0010/3 drops r-0011...

my PH is spot on. My chlorine is also spot on at lower levels (1-3), but when the cholorine levels get higher the water guru reads low.

Can be done with smaller machines but it will cost more as the dig will take longer. Also will cost more if they will have to use a crane to hoist the fiberglass pool shell over your house and into your backyard.

They have events called "polaris days" where the price is lowered by $150 or so and the rebate is still valid. The same model is sold be Leslies and called VRX IQ+. Prices are the same for both models. You can figure out on their website when the next event is that lowers the price and which...
