    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    So I ended up buying one of these in May because I needed something immediately while my Dolphin E10 was being repaired. I'm honestly really impressed with it overall. It's still a 'dumb' cleaner but does do a decent job of maneuvering around my pool using the 'S' pattern - which ends up...

    Beatbot AquaSense Cordless Pool Robot

    Yikes at that price, but the features seem really nice - will be curious how these units review next season. I love the idea of the non-Pro model actually mapping out the pool floor and navigating "smartly", although I have my doubts on how effective it is. I agree Katodude should take one...

    Instapark Betta review

    My Betta 2 is still going great after getting it back from warranty claim in early April. Motors are still whisper quiet, compared to when I shipped it off. I'm in the same boat. I've already got my moneys worth and more over the past two seasons, no way I could deal with manual skimming...

    Anyone else have problems with Dolphin Maytronics?

    Yikes $300 for just the power supply. Not sure what I expected but that wasn't it.

    Instapark Betta review

    Can't say enough good things about the Betta when it's working well. Went to check on it this morning, this was just from running it overnight.

    Instapark Betta review

    Just checked UPS and supposed to be getting mine back from repairs tomorrow. Perfect timing too, been really sick of manually skimming these past few weeks!

    Air inside filter

    I dealt with back pressure related to air in the basket/filter for the longest time until just recently. Air would get compressed in the filter when in use, and turning off pump would release this pressure shaking the plumbing and blowing the lid off the skimmer. I believe over time this led...

    Doheny's pump quality?

    Thanks for the feedback. I heard similar things from others online, but talking to local pool repair companies, most said they wouldn't even work on anything besides Pentair/Hayward/etc, which made my decision easy. Hope your newest one works out better than the rest!

    Doheny's pump quality?

    I did, looks like they only offer rebates for EV charging. I ended up going with a Pentair SuperFlo VST and so far it's been working great. Surprised how quiet this thing is on low RPM.

    Instapark Betta review

    Crud, was hoping for a few weeks but we'll see! I just shipped it off today.

    Instapark Betta review

    Welp, threw mine in the pool this morning - and it powers on and off randomly. Both motors work, and it will putter around for anywhere from 1sec to a full minute before eventually dying with led lights flashing back and forth between green and red. Thankfully still under warranty and their...

    Doheny's pump quality?

    Are Doheny brand pumps decent quality wise? They are significantly cheaper than comparable brands, I assume for a reason. It looks like one of them is actually a re-branded Hayward. Shows self-priming, probably louder than most? I have a 1hp Hayward super right now that looks like it needs...

    https://www.engadget.com/aiper-seagull-pro-pool-cleaning-robot-quad-motor-220001324.html Seems like they have potential, releasing in March.

    Instapark Betta review

    Mine is still going strong since getting it early May. I have noticed it being quite a bit louder, I assumed it was the bearings in the paddles in the front but might be one of the propellers instead? Either way, I've skimmed maybe like 10x this entire summer and pool looks great. Love this...
