    Robotic cleaner

    I'm looking to get a robotic pool clearner. Our pool is about 15k gal, screened in but with a couple of palm trees inside the screen. So it's mostly fine dirt, pollen, etc that gets in the pool. It's a plaster pool with tile around the edges, some steps though cleaning them isn't a priority as...

    My Pentair Warrior SI stopped working!!!

    Hi, We purchased our Warrior SI from Marina pool almost 3 years ago and now it stopped working. Basically, it worked back and forth for a little bit and then stopped running. We installed this Prowler app to our phone to remotely run the robot and when we looked into the app, it displayed...

    Pool robot woes

    I am suffering from decision paralysis. I was an early adopter on pool robots, purchasing the iRobot Verro back in 2007. It was a tank. Unfortunately, I killed it in 2018 and tried to get parts and a refurbished one, but nothing seemed to work. Finally replaced it with a Pentair Warrior SI...

    Maytronics Active 20 Vacuum NO SUCTION

    Hi! Love this group and all the money you've saved me maintaining my pool. We have a Maytronics Dolphin robotic pool cleaner - purchased in 2019.

    Polaris 8642 iQ - Bluetooth OK, WiFi Not OK Using iAquaLink

    Robotic Pool cleaners and cord length

    I'm trying to understand the size limitations regarding robotic pool cleaners. My pool is fairly large 17m (56') x 6m (20'). I understand if the power cord starts down in one corner, the robot will never make it down to the opposite corner some 18m (60') away if it has a 50' cord. But what if...

    Pool Cleaner Help

    Hi everyone! First time poster here.... Our pool is roughly 7 years old - our first cleaner was. Pentair Racer - lasted about 5 years then died. It was cheaper to replace it with a Polaris 280. The Polaris just randomly stops working, then if I untangle the cord, it goes back to normal -...
