I received mine today. The packaging was very minimal. I put it in the water, pressed the power button and off it went. It gets stuck on my robot cord where it enters the pool so I'm going to have to do something about that. Whenever it gets stuck or hits a corner it sorts itself out within a minute

UPS estimates mine will be delivered on May 26th

I had a similar problem with a wifi controlled dolphin unit where it was constantly trying to do an update. At first I could restart it and it would function normally, but after a few weeks it would try and update as soon as I plugged it in. I was able to return it under a warranty claim and...

I can't wait for this week's "what had happened was" updating on shipping. I'm guessing that they will say they haven't received the replacement parts yet.

They have shipping update on their website. Basically it said it'll take them a month to get out all the pre-orders so new orders placed now will ship in June.

Has anyone actually gotten a shipping notification yet? I pre-ordered back in October and haven't heard anything. Edit: nevermind, I checked their website's blog and they have a shipping update from yesterday "Ariel production is ramping up at our facility in Omaha this week and next...

Does anyone know what color of Rust-Oleum spray paint is the closest match for a Pentair Superflo VST? There's like 10 different shades of beige at home depot and I don't have anything that I can take in to compare. The guy who originally did my pump, filter, suction, and return lines did a...

The only ones I see locally that are 100% sodium chloride are these 99.6% pure solar salt crystals. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Diamond-Crystal-Solar-Naturals-Water-Softener-Salt-Crystals-100012454/100172669#overlay

Is this mortons water softener salt from home depot good, or is that small amount of citrates and anionic surfactants a problem? Edit: this bag isn't the right one to use https://www.homedepot.com/p/Morton-Salt-Clean-and-Protect-40LB-Water-Softener-Pellets-1500/100089553#overlay

Ordered the K-1766 reagents and will be adding salt accordingly. Do I have to worry about corrosion in the pool? In some of the pool salt reviews I've seen people mention using a "sacrificial" zinc anode in their skimmer basket to prevent corrosion. Is this recommended / necessary?

I've been reading all the info on TFP for the past few months and I recently discovered the pool school ebook. I never read the information about salt since I don't use a SWG but while reading the ebook I saw that it says "For improved water feel without a SWG, try levels around 2,000." I use...

It has the same brushing action of a more expensive robot. It's made by Maytronics, the company that makes the Dolphins and is the same as their S200. Brushes the floor, walls, and waterline like a champ. It can't climb my stairs though, the cleaner twice the price could but for the price I'm...

I had a $1400 robot that had wifi and then a bad automatic software update broke it after 3 months, They wanted me to pay almost $70 to send it in for an RMA repair, but I said it I had to pay for return shipping I was returning it for a refund and they agreed. I then picked up a Pentair Warrior...
