Same without any issues. Best purchase I've made for my pool

Not following this concern. Put a portable sump pump in it and pump it out if you don't know where main drain is. Route your hose to wherever you feel comfortable draining the water to. Nothing in the pool water is going to damage anything living in the tidal creek.

Mine doesn't get hung up on the ladder, either maneuvers around it or backs up when it hits it. Only time it gets hung up anywhere is when we get a lot of rain and the pool fills up, it will get hung between the top step and exit handrail due to water level. And yes, it is one of the best...

I'm still on the drain it, refill it, clean it while empty bandwagon, then throw the liquid chlorine to it to keep it clear until contractor gets to it. Water is cheap in South Carolina. You are wasting a bunch of time it sounds like you don't have trying to do this.

No problems, was just thinking of "quick" solutions for OP to satisfy insurance company before they cancelled their policy given they are under contract for retiling and replastering pool, but contractor can't do it in time to satisfy insurance company.

I’m normally in agreement with all of your posts @PoolStored but the OP was asking for a “quick” solution, not a prolonged one. I’m not in the pool industry or a fan of draining a pool, but everything you just said seems to be the antithesis to “quick”. SLAM and “quick” with the pictures...

It may not be the cheapest but I’d call an environmental hydro vac/pressure wash company (septic pump folks) and get them to drain it and pressure wash it like they do septic systems. Refill it with fresh water, then SLAM and run pump. Your filter media more than likely needs replaced and no...

Mine is 27 mil.

No, the betta skimmer will not damage your vinyl liner. Vinyl liners are pretty tough. I've got a lab that swims daily (see my profile pic) and he hasn't damaged the liner.

I'll be interested to follow your review along once you get the pool clean. I'm not sure that any of the wireless robots on the market are going to be work horses in a dirty pool with heavy debris. My analogy is like trying to chop a big tree down with an axe vs a chainsaw. In my opinion...

Definitely seeing this with my Wybot C1. Didn't close the pool down properly and had to SLAM pool. It would make one or two passes and the filter basket would be clogged with dead algae and it'd start "wheelie" in floor mode only. Finally got it all cleaned up after a lot of hard work. I...

Do you mind sharing what brand this is or posting a link? ETA: I'm seeing one made by Chasing called the Poolmate Hydro 3 and 3S that may fit this criteria but have not heard anything about them.

Chiming back in here about customer service or lack thereof. I’m still having issues with the app that do not make any sense, but at least I’ve found a work around on my own for now. Customer service has yet to respond to several emails/calls that I’ve put in. The robot has worked great so...

Welcome to TFP I'd give the following advice, but others here may have different thoughts/opinions: I'd replace it in the swimming offseason if it were me. Heck if you order it now, it probably won't be ready until swimming season is over anyway. Maybe order this year if cost could increase...

Any idea when these may be back in stock?
