    Maytronics Dolphin Drive Motor Problem

    I agree with you both and this was a tough lesson over robots. I've just come to the decision that I'll need to replace the motor every few years. Finally broke down and got a new motor from marina ($350) and works like new.

    Pellet grills

    IMO the cheaper pellet grills will suffice and know many who have had success with them. When I look to replace my Traeger I'll more than likely go with a Rectec though.

    Maytronics Dolphin Drive Motor Problem

    I have the same issue with my s200i. Was repaired within warranty and also out of warranty but now having issues again. I tried changing out the bearings but still had issues with them spinning freely. Did you have any luck? I'll probably break down any buy an entire motor if I don't have any...

    9 month Dolphin 300 SI problems after controller replacement. Only wants to work for 2 - 5 minutes

    My s300i (purchased Sep 2018) had some issues as well and just sent it back into Maytronics for repair. I'd suggest sending it in to their GA office to get it fixed correctly.

    How Often Do You Run Your Robot?

    Mine is currently being serviced under warranty so not at all :/ I almost regret getting rid of my old polaris as a backup... Almost. When I get him back I'll run him every other day as I have a ton of trees and Crud that blows into the pool. I can clean out skimmers every few days and rinse...

    Get robot now or wait?

    I'd wait for Maytronics to run a mail in rebate special again like this did this past summer ($150 off top models). I bought one a couple of weeks after the special ended :/

    Polaris 280 and booster pump about to fail. Time for a robot?

    Even using the fine bag for the 280 I was still displeased with the ability for it to pick up the finer stuff in the pool. I replaced my failing booster pump only to buy a s300i a few months (obviously regret replacing the pump) later. I would go with the robot and not look back. Since...

    Murphy's Law - What are the Odds?

    Happened to me the 1 week I was in between jobs. Misjudged pop fly in coed softball hit my wife's eye and had to get stitches in the ER. The bill was painful but the flack I got from the ER was even worse. They didn't believe my wife at first when they asked if I hit her :mad:

    Robot Use In Winter?

    I've wondered the same thing. Took mine out last night since it's supposed to get colder soon.

    Long time no talk... My Polaris 3900 was stolen

    Nothing I hate more than people who steal. I have a polaris 280 in working condition if you are interested. Shoot me a message if you are (I'm in Flower Mound).
