Not having to net grass clippings out of the pool for 10 mins after mowing makes the Betta worth it by itself.

The contour of the front is either slightly different, or if floats just a touch lower in the water. The front corner of the SE Plus now jams itself into my skimmer and gets stuck. Putting down the front stair feet solves the problem though.

6x HC50s, 300 sqft. Completely unobstructed, second-story south-facing roof. It was a perfect setup.

Whoa sweet, was this also a thing way back when they were selling the 2? I can't find anything about it in my old emails.

Looks like they just announced the Betta SE Plus, which mercifully has the option to plug it in to charge, in addition to solar. It also has something called a shallow water guard, which I'm guessing makes it navigate stairs easier. Looks like it's $429, and then according to the email I...

I am also in the Sacramento area and just got a quote from Solaron today. We have a 2-story house, with our south-side completely available, and completely unobstructed by anything (trees, etc). Due to the optimal location of where our pool equipment is, and the south-facing panels, they...
