    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I totally agree with tangled cord, I find if I take the time to lay the cord out untangled before putting the robot(Madge) in the pool it helps a lot, when I take it out I coil it like I used to do with my climbing ropes and get all the kinks out.

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I ordered this one from marina pool and spa Polaris R0897800 Fine Filter Canister and it does a great job of getting the fine dust and sand, the one that came with it did not pick it up, now the filter has brown muck in it.

    Muriatic Acid quality

    Thanks for the reply, I picked some up from economy Pools two weeks ago, it was HASA and very yellow looking, although they didn’t have much of it in stock, hopefully next time I get some it will look like Vodka 😀

    INTELLICENTER WEB-CLIENT / MOBILE APP?

    I use #1 for configuration changes and the mobile app for anything else, however I have been known to use the intelliCenter panel to change the SWCG percentage, reason being, where I run my weekly water tests it’s right next to the panel so it’s handy for me.

    Ph test very light pink

    Well, I went out to do the test again and this time I gave the reagent bottle a good shake and now I get 7.8ppm, which is what I was expecting, previously I tested twice using five drops but got the light pink result. Thanks for the quick reply.

    Using a Betta 2 Robotic Pool Skimmer and bottom cleaner simultaneously

    I have been running the Smorobot X11 and the Betta2 for 4 months now and they play nicely together, I always run the X11 in floor only mode, which means charging it to 7 solid green lights and turning the on/off switch to ”S” it runs approx 2.5 hour. takes about 40 minutes to get to that stage...

    Smorobot X10 review

    I pretty much use floor only cleaning on my X11, the way you do that is to only charge it up to when 7 green lights are solid and the 2 outer lights are flashing green, once you see that disconnect the power cable, select ‘S’ on the power switch when you put it in the pool, and it will only...

    Smorobot X10 review

    My ultra fine basket picks up pretty much everything, loads of desert dirt, leaves and little beasties, it does a better job than my dolphin S300i ever did.

    Smorobot X10 review

    Today I received the fast charger, a standard basket and an ultra fine basket, these were freebies when I bought the X11 via kickstarter, so I have two of each baskets. Next time I charge the X11 I will use the faster charger so I can assess the difference in charging time, and to see just how...

    Smorobot X10 review

    Sorry it didn’t work out for you. My X11 is still going strong 🤞🏻apart from the one time I got the red light shut off, it’s been doing a great job of scooping up all the beasties that make their way to the bottom of the pool, especially after Sundays deluge, the fast charging time and run time...

    Smorobot X10 review

    Glad you got your replacement, and it’s working fine, I agree with you regarding the “F” fast option, I don’t use it either, gave it a try just to see what it did, won’t be using it again, I charge mine to 7 solid green and select standard “ S” so it just does a 3 hour run on the floor, does a...

    My X11 hasn’t flipped over yet, but then I mostly do the floor only.

    Smorobot X10 review

    The robot did both walls and floor no problem after the startup glitch, it ran for a tad under 4 hour, and picked up a lot of grit and leaves.

    Smorobot X10 review

    I knew I had jinxed it, I put it in the pool this morning switched it to standard, after a few minutes I got 7 solid green lights and 2 solid red lights at both ends, gave it 5 minutes to see if it would sort itself out, it didn’t so I pulled it out of the pool, turned it off, moved the switch...

    Smorobot X10 review

    Yes, it follows the same pattern as the X10, I haven’t seen it scrub sideways along the waterline, like S300i would do occasionally, it does get up on the lagoon and sometimes will run along the wall, just like ” The Wall of Death”😀

    Smorobot X10 review

    So far l haven’t had any problems(now I’ve gone and jinxed it), and I’ve ran it in all possible options, I’ve had it for just over a month now so hopefully it’s going to continue to behave, hope Ginny gets it sorted for you in a hurry, l believe their warehouse is somewhere in Texas.

    Smorobot X10 review

    Yes, it does, it gets really hot, the light on the charger is supposed to turn green when fully charged, but not that l have seen, the only time it turns green is when l unplug it from the power outlet.

    Smorobot X10 review

    My X11 will do 4 hours on full charge using standard mode, I usually only do the floor so l charge it until 6 solid green lights then unplug it, mine also gets stuck on the main drain, l wish they had made the fast mode as floor only on the X11, then you wouldn’t have to watch the charging...

    Aiper Robot?

    I was following you post about that, it was one of the reasons I decided to take chance with the X11😀.

    Aiper Robot?

    Yea you are right, but the S300i is not sucking up the dirt like it used to do and the cable is in pretty bad shape as are the little rubber thingys on the bottom, if I replace them then the motor goes ( it’s 5 years old), so I figured I try cordless one.😀

    Aiper Robot?

    I have had the Smorobot X11 Tank for for 3 weeks now, so far so good, takes 2 hours to do a full charge which will clean walls, waterline and floor for 4 hours, if you just want to clean the floor only you just charge it up until 6 green lights are solid, then it will only do the floor for 2...

    Solar Skimmers: Betta versus Ariel

    I purchased the Betta last week and when it arrived a plastic cover that protects the propeller was broken I emailed customer service and they replied that they will send out a new skimmer, I was well impressed with that. The current Betta is happily chugging along and has been running all day...

    Solar Skimmers: Betta versus Ariel

    I would cut them a break also, but I have been trying to get parts for the NX2, for over a month now, and unlike you I don’t have the luxury of having two skimmers 😀😀, when I have spoken to someone at Solar-Breeze not one of them have told me that they are really stretched and it might be awhile...

    Solar Skimmers: Betta versus Ariel

    I called Solar-Breeze again on Tuesday and was told someone would get back to me within 24 hours, but yet again I have not heard a thing from them, so as you can see I keep getting promises that are never kept, that to me is NOT good customer service, the kicker is that I really like the NX2 I...

    Solar Skimmers: Betta versus Ariel

    Yes I get that, but Customer service should be telling me they are OVERWHELMED, and not 3 to 5 business days, I have spent over $1000, on two NX2’s and would expect that current customers who have spent that amount of cash could at least expect some kind of faster response, and as such AWFUL is...
