    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    This thread is really interesting to me because I couldn't find a really good comparison between the Seagull Pro and the Scuba S1 when I was deciding which to buy, so I bought both (SG Pro was $399 at Home Depot and Scuba was $499 at Costco) with the intention of returning one. Been using them...

    Replacing a Hayward Aqua Rite

    Well I figured out the issue due to this kind encouragement to post pics. The cell isn't a genuine Hayward - it's an aftermarket knockoff only warrantied for 1 year 🙄 so I'm less surprised it is failing. I'm guessing the best route is to replace the whole system rather than buy another...

    Replacing a Hayward Aqua Rite

    My pool has a Hayward Aqua Rite with a t-15 cell that is supposedly only 2.5-3 years old, according to the previous owner, but it was already acting up toward the end of last summer. (Insisting the salt levels are low when they are not.) I had the cell cleaned in August, and the guy said there...

    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    Thanks for posting. Congrats on your new free Scuba S1? I just received my Seagull Pro yesterday. I've got an updated serial number on mine, so it's not part of this recall. I'm wondering if this is why I found the price drop on Home Depot's website, though.

    New-ish pool owner in TX

    Hi from a former lurker on TFP. Became a first-time pool owner last year and thought I knew a good amount about pools since I worked them in my youth (lifeguard manager, comfortable with testing chemicals, backwashing pumps, skimming/vacuuming, etc.). Whole new ballgame with cartridges and a...

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    I purchased both the Seagull Pro and the Scuba N1 last week after researching and reading this full thread. Why the two? Scuba N1: Bought at Costco for $499 because their return policy means I'm confident in returning at any time if needed. Seagull Pro: Bought at Home Depot for $399 with free...
