Mine seldom bumps the sides, usually steers itself away. But yes, it will loose debris occasionally when backing up.

I notice if you change it there it doesn't stick. If you change it from the timeline tab, it sticks and recalculates.

I was just looking a robot thread, so I guess "sucks" was on my mind. But, yes, for me it's way too much work to make one entry.

I decided the app sucks unless you pay annually. I just use the browser version. https://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html Or if I feel like keeping logs I use "Pool Logger". https://www.poollogger.com/ Both give CSI results.

Still no replacement, but they just called and said S1's are on back order and asked if I wanted the updated Seagull Pro. I said yes! Mainly for the larger basket, but also the stronger motor. Will see how long this takes ...

Curious about the "wireless charging". Won't the contacts corrode from a salt pool? Or are you supposed to dry it before placing it on the charger? I'm thinking you could put a piece of 50 micron aquarium filter material in the basket to trap finer debris. Does the handle get in the way when...

That's a deal! Looks a lot like the Betta SE Plus. Probably from the same Chinese company.

Follow up here. Solid "check cell" light came back, so I bought a new cell as a back up, then sent the 3 year old cell in to see what sort of warranty coverage I'd get. 60% off, so got the a new cell for $275 including tax and shipping. Well worth it!

It's solar, if it doesn't have a charger there's no other way. I've been charging in the sun for 2 years without issues. My pool is 75% shade (100% until about noon). It goes a full 14 hours, the one with the charger goes 48 hours.

Not sure why shade matters. I charge next to the grill on my back porch. I pull it out each run and let it sit on the covered porch. Unless you're talking their solar skimmer, then shade matters if it's not cord chargeable (I have Betta cord and no cord). I charge my Betta2 in the sun while SE...

Yeah, those look like threads, the should be unconnected rings. Silicone grease or Magic Lube should help a lot. Just keep it away from the contacts.

I don't have mine yet, but on my Seagull I put some silicone grease (that I use on pump o-ring), on the rubber. Helps it slide on and seals well. Looks like it would work on this in a couple spots.

My Seagull Pro was going strong for 2 years, no issues until they recalled it a few weeks ago. Have not received the replacement Scuba SE yet, so can't comment. I still have a corded Aquabot I'm using while I wait. Cordless is so much nicer! Can run it with Betta skimmer and not get tangled...

I'd pay the $8 if it was a better app (more similar to Orenda, which I don't use). I finally figured out how to edit the log! You have to move to timeline tab and click a value there. Why can't you do this from the Overview tab? I'll keep trying it.

There's only one at the Playstore, with only a 3.3 rating, probably because without subscribing it seems useless. I can't edit a 4 month old log or overwrite it without the subscribe pop-up.
