For my 380 getting this spigot on the back set just right was sooo critical. It is REALLY sensitive. 0.1mm off and it isn't the same, so you just have to find that perfect point. If you can't move it, try harder but don't break it. Look closely and you can see where this "ball" mounts into the...

At the very rear in the center of the unit down low there is a little spout which shoots water out. It shoots rearward. Using your fingers try to move it around. It swivels up and down and left and right giving you 180' in 2 axes to play with. This steers it more or less.

I am working with Kamesh on this.. An Engineer from Aquabot.. will post another update later. You guys are ARE awesome! :D Raphael from Aquabot QA also contacted me, but I told him I'm working with Kamesh right now, so I think I'm set just waiting to hear back on next steps. I must say, I am...

Anyone have any ideas?? The Aquabot tech I spoke to didn't know how to troubleshoot it, and send back back to Corporate. I left a VM and also sent an email. So far nobody has gotten back to me. The retailer said they didn't know how to troubleshoot these yet either, as they are too new. So much...

Update... bad news!! This morning I ran the cleaner again and it ran for about an hour then the power supply shut off and blinked both blue LEDs. I turned it off, and turned it back on. I started it, and it immediately went back off and flashed both blue LEDs again. I let it sit for a bit. The...

Ok first off, it's easier to just post all my pics here: PHOTOS: iCloud Photo Sharing Here's the Mfr's info: Aquabot Icon Xi - Pricing, Features, & Manuals | Aquabot http://www.aquabot.com/PageFiles/2355/2015_IconXi_SellSheet_web_MSS0054.pdf Overall, I'm thrilled with the packaging, and...

Being in the process of switching from pressure-side (Polaris 380) to robotic (Aquabot Icon), one key difference I will point out is the dependency on a) your pressure-side cleaner booster pump and b) it's hoses. The hoses leak, and are very difficult to work with. There's a thread on here about...

This is my biggest gripe too. I have read a LOT of posts on various forums saying folks leave their robots in. Some have left them in for YEARS!! I care mostly because of the cost.. it's a lot more to replace a robot than a Polaris. One other thing I've noticed is plastic does OK for long...

I'm sure the Polaris doesn't mix 70gpm, but it sure is a lot. Have you ever run it out of the water (like when fighting with it or troubleshooting it)? Oh man, it soaks you - quick. :D (btw, the best way to do that is troubleshoot it on the 1st step or a swim platform, which keeps it mostly...

I've done a lot of research on these lately, and the 3 brands of auto pool cleaner to buy are: Dolphin/Maytronics Aquabot Blue Diamond

From what I can tell, all cleaners 'mix' the water. Some Dolphin/Maytronics models actually claim this as a feature, but it's purely marketing. Yes, there is a benefit to having your cleaner mix the water, but any cleaner will mix it. Your returns should mix the top/mid water, so you should be...

Right.. and maybe the air is a good thing as it prevents all of the pucks from being dissolved too quickly (which is likely what causes the high CL levels).. But it's annoying to have to gauge how quickly they dissolve now in addition to the dial setting in addition to how quickly the sun/UV and...

That sucks.. That's also quite bizarre because I don't notice the smell of CL, and our eyes don't really burn if we open them under water. The pucks dissolve after like I said ~2 weeks, and I just add more. I guess I thought the puck feeder only let so little out that it kept it equivalent to...
