Extended Warranty Protection Extends the time period of the manufacturer's U.S. warranty by an additional year, on eligible warranties of 3 years...

    betta SE vs betta 2

    Just seeing this thread. I purchased an SE when the price went down on Amazon thanks to an alert on this site. My Betta 2 just crapped out and waiting for me to return it. I am running the SE. The only differences I notice are: 1)that the SE moves much slower around the pool than the 2 and...

    Instapark Betta review

    Betta determined that my “old” one that I received as a free surprise replacement last year will still be fixed under the date of replacement warranty not the date of purchase of the Betta 1. I thought the replacement Betta was an SE but Ged said it’s a Betta 2. Betta offered a $120 discount...

    Instapark Betta review

    I’m in the midst of an email conversation with Betta. It seems that it is very important to have the original order number for a warranty claim. HELLO who keeps that info. I would have thought that the S/N number would be all that’s needed. Since I didn’t have the original order # I wrote...

    I decided to let betta die a natural death. It went from noisy left propeller (longest duration), to start and stop running on its own, to propellers not turning but paddle wheel rotating only which was effective at collecting debris as it hovered around the skimmer, to nothing working but...

    Battle of the Solar Skimmers: Ariel vs Betta 2 Bake off!!!

    I have a blue betta with the blue blinking lights. Can’t keep up with the models since I returned my first one so often and they sent me a new one after they returned my original one without the bottom attached! Anyway, this one has faded much more quickly than my first but still chugging...

    Instapark Betta review

    Green lights blinking but no action. Turned off, cleaned out, checked rotating parts, turned on, dropped in. Moving but going forward for a bit then backward and spilling what little collected back out. Plus very noisy. I’ll have to investigate tomorrow but noise is coming from where...

    It’s the best thing that has happened to my pool when it works. Keep the box just in case you have to return it for repairs.

    Instapark Betta review

    I’m not saying it wasn’t a copperhead but this blurb from SC DNR suggests that it could be a different snake that looks like a copperhead. The key is close inspection but as the article points out no one really wants to do that! SCDNR - Wildlife Information And from Clemson Extension...
