You could always drive down and borrow one of mine with a toad of course! No rattlers or copperheads yet!

Hello from down 77! It’s been quite a while since I posted. I now run 2 bettas in the pool when both work! Sorry but I can’t keep up with which model only that for a long while last year the earlier version (blue) stopped working. Blue sat on the pool deck for months. Every once in a while...

Here’s a pic of the mesh. In my opinion the mesh is fine! Once it starts getting loaded it will capture more fines. I have stopped spending time obsessed with my robots. My opinion is whatever they capture is good enough. Sometimes I look outside and the pool looks covered on top and...

I’ve had toads hitchhiking the betTa. Orion up the highway had a rattlesnake. Today the paddle wheel wasn’t freely turning. Expecting to see pine straw wrapped around the shaft I found this snake very much dead. Sorry snake.

Skimmer wizard works to keep the bettabot out of the skimmer. Plus after windy storms and before Betta can get around to capture all the debris, the wizard keeps tons of large magnolia leaves, pine straw, sticks, etc. from clogging the skimmer which in turn slows down the polaris! Keeping all...

I wonder if they upgraded and put in a sensor to measure the propeller spin resistance because the unit stops when the pine needles accumulate then restarts as soon as I remove them and do a reset (off/on). The left prop seems to wrap more than the right. Also keep an eye out on the paddle...

My betta (or bettas when the 2nd one works (expecting new one)) operate with the Polaris 360 doing it’s thing at the bottom of the pool 24/7/365. I played around with the tubing floats on the polaris to optimize the hose staying below the water surface. When I see them getting entangled I add...

I love my skimmer wizard as much as my bettas! The only problem with the wizard is once summer starts it will get algae on the inside so just have to remove it, scrub away and keep an eye out for the greenies. I’m debating a back up Betta before the end of the night. My SE has been running...

This is what I use from fall to spring...

If you purchase with an amazon prime credit card there is an extended warranty benefit of 1 year if the manufacturer’s warranty is 3 years or less.. Extended Warranty Protection Extends the time period of the manufacturer's U.S. warranty by an additional year, on eligible warranties of 3 years...

Just seeing this thread. I purchased an SE when the price went down on Amazon thanks to an alert on this site. My Betta 2 just crapped out and waiting for me to return it. I am running the SE. The only differences I notice are: 1)that the SE moves much slower around the pool than the 2 and...

Betta determined that my “old” one that I received as a free surprise replacement last year will still be fixed under the date of replacement warranty not the date of purchase of the Betta 1. I thought the replacement Betta was an SE but Ged said it’s a Betta 2. Betta offered a $120 discount...

I’m in the midst of an email conversation with Betta. It seems that it is very important to have the original order number for a warranty claim. HELLO who keeps that info. I would have thought that the S/N number would be all that’s needed. Since I didn’t have the original order # I wrote...

I decided to let betta die a natural death. It went from noisy left propeller (longest duration), to start and stop running on its own, to propellers not turning but paddle wheel rotating only which was effective at collecting debris as it hovered around the skimmer, to nothing working but...

I have a blue betta with the blue blinking lights. Can’t keep up with the models since I returned my first one so often and they sent me a new one after they returned my original one without the bottom attached! Anyway, this one has faded much more quickly than my first but still chugging...

You should invite him over for a swim. The trucks aren’t air conditioned!

Contact Betta. They supply postage paid label. If you don’t have the original box you will have to pack it. Free advice - keep the box! Contact

Green lights blinking but no action. Turned off, cleaned out, checked rotating parts, turned on, dropped in. Moving but going forward for a bit then backward and spilling what little collected back out. Plus very noisy. I’ll have to investigate tomorrow but noise is coming from where...

It’s the best thing that has happened to my pool when it works. Keep the box just in case you have to return it for repairs.

Mrs. Red Hawk said to Mr. Red Hawk - My what big fangs he has!

I’m not saying it wasn’t a copperhead but this blurb from SC DNR suggests that it could be a different snake that looks like a copperhead. The key is close inspection but as the article points out no one really wants to do that! SCDNR - Wildlife Information And from Clemson Extension...

Oh my. I hope that culvert doesn’t flow south to me! . Maybe he was going after the frog that used mine to get to the other side of the pool. (2022)
