Same without any issues. Best purchase I've made for my pool

Not following this concern. Put a portable sump pump in it and pump it out if you don't know where main drain is. Route your hose to wherever you feel comfortable draining the water to. Nothing in the pool water is going to damage anything living in the tidal creek.

Mine doesn't get hung up on the ladder, either maneuvers around it or backs up when it hits it. Only time it gets hung up anywhere is when we get a lot of rain and the pool fills up, it will get hung between the top step and exit handrail due to water level. And yes, it is one of the best...

I'm still on the drain it, refill it, clean it while empty bandwagon, then throw the liquid chlorine to it to keep it clear until contractor gets to it. Water is cheap in South Carolina. You are wasting a bunch of time it sounds like you don't have trying to do this.

No problems, was just thinking of "quick" solutions for OP to satisfy insurance company before they cancelled their policy given they are under contract for retiling and replastering pool, but contractor can't do it in time to satisfy insurance company.

I’m normally in agreement with all of your posts @PoolStored but the OP was asking for a “quick” solution, not a prolonged one. I’m not in the pool industry or a fan of draining a pool, but everything you just said seems to be the antithesis to “quick”. SLAM and “quick” with the pictures...

It may not be the cheapest but I’d call an environmental hydro vac/pressure wash company (septic pump folks) and get them to drain it and pressure wash it like they do septic systems. Refill it with fresh water, then SLAM and run pump. Your filter media more than likely needs replaced and no...

Mine is 27 mil.

No, the betta skimmer will not damage your vinyl liner. Vinyl liners are pretty tough. I've got a lab that swims daily (see my profile pic) and he hasn't damaged the liner.

I'll be interested to follow your review along once you get the pool clean. I'm not sure that any of the wireless robots on the market are going to be work horses in a dirty pool with heavy debris. My analogy is like trying to chop a big tree down with an axe vs a chainsaw. In my opinion...

Definitely seeing this with my Wybot C1. Didn't close the pool down properly and had to SLAM pool. It would make one or two passes and the filter basket would be clogged with dead algae and it'd start "wheelie" in floor mode only. Finally got it all cleaned up after a lot of hard work. I...

Do you mind sharing what brand this is or posting a link? ETA: I'm seeing one made by Chasing called the Poolmate Hydro 3 and 3S that may fit this criteria but have not heard anything about them.

Chiming back in here about customer service or lack thereof. I’m still having issues with the app that do not make any sense, but at least I’ve found a work around on my own for now. Customer service has yet to respond to several emails/calls that I’ve put in. The robot has worked great so...

Welcome to TFP I'd give the following advice, but others here may have different thoughts/opinions: I'd replace it in the swimming offseason if it were me. Heck if you order it now, it probably won't be ready until swimming season is over anyway. Maybe order this year if cost could increase...

Any idea when these may be back in stock?

Yes, it was plugged in. I was finally able to get it to work, but it was odd and doesn't really make any sense. I ended up disconnecting from my home wifi on my phone, then it allowed me to sign back in to the app, then had to reconnect to wifi to get the robot to respond. I was worried I was...

Are any WYBOT C1 users experiencing an issue with the app? For some reason, the app wouldn’t connect to my robot and change modes, then all of a sudden logged me out. Now the app is giving a timeout error or a couldn’t connect to server error. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled app but same...

That's how mine is. Has foam padding over the plywood walls nailed in with roofing tacks with plastic cap. I would not recommend unless there is superb drainage around the pool and the liner never has a chance to float, but it was here when we bought the house. Crazy thing is walls still...

My bad, totally misread that.

@NickB_Ohio, I'd also advise you to do some more research into your Aqua Smarte system and how it works to "chlorinate" your pool. There are many threads here on this topic that you can search for. I'd recommend a good Test Kit and converting over to liquid chlorine addition (household bleach...

Maybe put it on your retrieval hook and drop it in the center of pool on star pattern and see what it does. Star pattern in my rectangular pool seems to try and find where center of pool is 🤷‍♂️

Level is probably going to ebb and flow with ground water table, especially in the low country. I'd be more concerned about mosquito control, unless you keep it empty with a sump pump in it and leave it running 24/7 or one with a float level switch. I have a similar issue with high ground...

Dang man, tough luck there. I would think it was supposed to last longer than 3 months, but I'd hard pipe it if it were me to prevent issues going forward (pipe is always better than hose). Just make sure you give yourself a way to winterize/drain it being in Cincinnati.

I've experimented with different locations for dropping mine in and haven't really noticed much of a difference in cleaning the whole pool. Mine is a pretty straightforward rectangular sports pool and it does really well at covering 90+% on a single run. I can't comment on irregular shaped...

The WYBOT C1 has been very good for me so far. Out performs the Pentair Warrior SE in my opinion as far as coverage in a single run. App is easy to use. Really like the schedule timer for when I have to travel for work. Coupled with the Betta SE Plus, I’m not doing much pool cleaning. @Bbp...

I think that is for the regular SE. SE Plus is $329 with a $21 instant coupon. Betta via Amazon processed a difference refund as I was still in my 30 day return window. Basically covered most of the cost of the extended warranty. Very quick response and no questions asked.

Hey @Orion7319, I know you said you had a lot of pine needles getting in the pool. Do you ever have issues with the pine needles getting wrapped up around the shaft of the propeller? I had a bad storm the other night and found mine running in a small circle. Pulled it out and emptied basket...

You're a good neighbor @RelaxIN. Sounds like you got it (y)

Not sure what you did yesterday, but if you dropped another 3ppm of FC, then I’d turn it on today at below recommendation. I’d run to higher side of FC target (9-11ppm) for your CYA at 80ppm. From the Pool Math App, if your FC loss is ~3ppm/day, then for a 28k gallon pool with IC40 SWG, you...
