    Instapark Betta review

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

    Pool Math APP - Free version

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

    Pool Math APP - Free version

    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.

    Pool Math APP - Free version

    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.

    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    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 ...

    New 2025 Beatbot Aquasense 2 owner - First impressions...

    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...

    Instapark Betta review

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

    Circupool Sales?

    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!

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    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.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    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...

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    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.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    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.

    Beatbot AquaSense Cordless Pool Robot

    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...

    Pool Math APP - Free version

    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.

    Pool Math APP - Free version

    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.

    Pool Math APP - Free version

    Is there a "free" AND "paid" app or just free and pay to get unlimited logs? I've tried the app off and on (free) and can never get it to overwrite a log. I enter new values and it just defaults to 4 months ago. Needs to be an "edit" button. Back to Pool Logger I guess.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    I believe the filter is the same as the Seagull Pro, 180 micron. Definitely not fine enough. Still waiting on my S1 (3 weeks).

    Betta ain't cuttin' it.

    Would have done that 14 years if they weren't on HOA property! It is nice not to have water temperature exceed 85 during Texas summers.

    Betta ain't cuttin' it.

    As I said, 2 or 3 full 24" leaf nets... plus 3 or 4 baskets full in two Bettas. Five oak trees all hanging over the pool. Glad I'm retired and can keep up! Filled a 45 gallon trash can in 2 days.

    Betta ain't cuttin' it.

    Yeah, 3x so far today with Betta 2 and Betta SE Pro going.l, plus 2 or 3 24" nets full of them. They tend to clog the paddle pretty quick.

    Aiper Scuba S1 Review

    You may have a bit of a wait, they are probably overwhelmed with the Seagull recall, replacing with S1's. They told me end of April or May. And who knows with all the economic uncertainties. Hopefully we get them sooner!

    Cell cleaning

    Shows up for me. Circupool Edge-40. Only reason I cleaned it 3 months ago was trying to resolve check cell light.

    Cell cleaning

    Last time I cleaned the cell (3 months ago) bubbles stopped at about 15 minutes. If been getting check cell light for 6 months, so decided to return it for warranty. So they said return it cleaned, but now it's been bubbling for 30 minutes and still going. I'm using 9% vinegar. They said use...

    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    Isn't the S1 Pro the only one with a mobile app? But either should go up a ramp, since they climb walls.

    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    With the tariff war between us and China, we should be prepared to wait on receiving product, but I sure hope not!

    Is the "updated" Pro safe? I'd rather have it.

    Aiper Seagull Pro recall

    Got email saying they're out of stock and will be late April or May. "As a token of our apology, we will include a free beach towel with your replacement order." Wow, a towel for an inferior product, can't wait. Good thing I saved my old Aquabot!

    Limestone (sandstone?) treatment

    I've had this pool 14 years and have never sealed the 12" stone wall around about 1/3 of the pool. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TWAfwFmXp4QwZ4cQA Is that something that's recommended? It tends to drop sandstone "dust" on the coping ledge. I splash it off and reddish sand goes into the pool. Do...
