You could always drive down and borrow one of mine with a toad of course! No rattlers or copperheads yet!

Hello from down 77! It’s been quite a while since I posted. I now run 2 bettas in the pool when both work! Sorry but I can’t keep up with which model only that for a long while last year the earlier version (blue) stopped working. Blue sat on the pool deck for months. Every once in a while...

Here’s a pic of the mesh. In my opinion the mesh is fine! Once it starts getting loaded it will capture more fines. I have stopped spending time obsessed with my robots. My opinion is whatever they capture is good enough. Sometimes I look outside and the pool looks covered on top and...

I’ve had toads hitchhiking the betTa. Orion up the highway had a rattlesnake. Today the paddle wheel wasn’t freely turning. Expecting to see pine straw wrapped around the shaft I found this snake very much dead. Sorry snake.

Skimmer wizard works to keep the bettabot out of the skimmer. Plus after windy storms and before Betta can get around to capture all the debris, the wizard keeps tons of large magnolia leaves, pine straw, sticks, etc. from clogging the skimmer which in turn slows down the polaris! Keeping all...

I wonder if they upgraded and put in a sensor to measure the propeller spin resistance because the unit stops when the pine needles accumulate then restarts as soon as I remove them and do a reset (off/on). The left prop seems to wrap more than the right. Also keep an eye out on the paddle...

My betta (or bettas when the 2nd one works (expecting new one)) operate with the Polaris 360 doing it’s thing at the bottom of the pool 24/7/365. I played around with the tubing floats on the polaris to optimize the hose staying below the water surface. When I see them getting entangled I add...

I love my skimmer wizard as much as my bettas! The only problem with the wizard is once summer starts it will get algae on the inside so just have to remove it, scrub away and keep an eye out for the greenies. I’m debating a back up Betta before the end of the night. My SE has been running...

This is what I use from fall to spring...

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...
