I was updating some things in my profile and I think I set something, yet I have no idea what it was. Any ideas to make it go away? I'm more curious than complaining as TBH, Its not harming anything. tnx

I'm sad to report I will be boxing up the Scuba S1 to be returned. After 8 full cycles the pool still isn't clean. Large sections of the shallow end were not covered even once. Perhaps the shape of my pool doesn't match the programming. Hopefully this works well for others in their pool.

about seven feet. Once it finds its way into the deep end, it isn't easily heading back to the shallow end. I also have three drains in the deep end with safety covers that it bounces around on. I also have a bit of debris for it to clear so the basket gets full. That could be contributing...

It's kind of clogged with fine debris. I'm going to let it air dry while recharging. That should allow more to shake out

The basket needs to be hosed out to get all the debris out.

First run I used the mode where it does walls for the first 50% of battery, then the floor. Most of the cleaning was done in the deep end. It only made a pass or two through the shallow end. Basket was full when I pulled it out for a recharge. Tomorrow I'll use floor-only mode. I need to come...

It arrived today. I charged it and sent it for a swim a little over an hour ago. I went with the wall, then floor mode. So far it has spent a bit too much time in the deep end and very little time in the shallow end.

I just chatted with aiper online support and my order has not yet shipped. No ETA but I was told not to worry :rolleyes: edit: earlier this morning (Wednesday) I received email it has shipped and will be delivered Thursday.

what is typical time to ship for Aiper ?

Thanks @JJ_Tex I'm wondering if there are other options. Pool Python looks interesting as it sits flush against the side of the pool, though (repeating what I read elsewhere) it doesn't appear to be available any longer.

A pressure side skimmer uses water from a return inlet, or a dedicated pressure side inlet to power a floating skimmer. The flow of water creates creates suction and debris is captured in a bag. Pool Skim is an example. It connects to a return jet. Pool Python looked interesting but I saw a...

I ordered it Sunday. I have yet to get a tracking number or delivery date.

A couple of times a year my pool is littered with debris from the surrounding trees, and much of the debris falls in the shallow end away from the skimmer. My main skimmer does a good job, yet when the wind blows the debris away from the skimmer it just sinks in the shallow end. Does anyone...

Thanks @ogdento I stumbled across the actuator fix a couple of years ago. I had four pentair actuators fail and thankfully had not tossed them. Three were easy fixes with microswitches. When this first cropped up last summer the first thing I did was swap in a new ( repaired ) actuator and it...
