Mine stopped working and now just flashes red and blue lights over and over. Per the manual, that signals “water immersion,” which I’m assuming means water got into the motor. Did you have the same flashing lights? Did Aiper ever clarify how to do a hard reset? I can’t find anything online...

Just wanted to add in my $0.02, now that I've had my Seagull SE for about a month. So far, I've been really impressed. This thing isn't a big leaf eater or anything, but it wasn't advertised to be. It shines with the really fine stuff that just goes through the net on my Polaris 280. I run...

Aiper sent me a message last week and said that XE is on backorder. Their expected ship date was Monday the 12th, but that came and went with no shipment notification. They did offer an extra 10% off on my next purchase, which is appreciated. I'm anxious to get the Seagull in and test it out...

Thanks for the update, Kato. For $179, it's worth the gamble to me. We have some big hackberry and pecan leaves that flood the pool for about a month and a half a year (ugh, happening right now), but I can keep the 280 to do the heavy lifting during that time. My main frustration with the 280...

I just tested my tap water (what I use to fill) and it’s almost no calcium. I added one drop of R0012 and the sample turned instantly blue. I basically diluted the calcium in our pool water when I filled it. Our water supplier isn’t the best and we have wild swings in water quality (from...

My reagents are from last Fall. This is my first Summer with the pool (new build completed early last Fall), but I’ve been adding about an inch of water a week (slightly more or less depending on user load and how much water the kids splash out). I’ve noticed nothing out of the ordinary and...

I’m trying to figure out if or how my CH levels dropped 100ppm in 2 days. Since May 1st, I’ve been 450, 450, 450, and most recently 475 on May 29th. Im in the process of checking chemistry now and, after 3 tests from 3 different locations in the pool, I’m consistently 375ppm. Same reagents...

I thought about it initially, but was hoping that there was a quicker method. That's probably the safest bet, though. At least it gives me an excuse to spend a LOT of time in the pool. :LOL:

The raised wall on our pool has the basic BMX200 ceramic tile. Now that it's warming up and I'm spending more time in the pool, I've noticed that the tile crew did a so-so job cleaning it after installation. It has a light haze in areas and thicker smears of grout in a few spots. I've thought...

We asked our builder to hand shovel dirt under all of the raised pipes to give them a decent "base" before backfilling the trenches with a skidsteer. Everything pressure tested fine afterwards, so it did the trick for us.

Your pool is looking great! You really lucked out on locking down not only *a* builder, but a *great* builder from what your pictures show. We were in a similar situation where we were too far from Houston and College Station, so we heard a lot of "not in our area" while looking for builders...

Our NPT mini pebble texture is obviously a little rougher than smooth plaster, but I haven't noticed any issues with it tearing up feet or knees. My 5yo likes to just walk around in the water and I haven't seen any ill effects on his feet after days on end in the pool. I've been in some...

Thanks. All of the tile is just the basic BMX Blue Mix ceramic that is offered by seemingly ever major pool tile retailer. We wanted something that would be easy to track down in the event that we ever needed more. The sample pictures online don't do it justice - it really is a lot more blue...

You have glass tiles, but the colors are similar to ours. We used NPT Stonescapes Aqua White Mini Pebble and added abalone and Puerto Rico blend. I can't answer how many bags were added, but my wife's words to the pool builder were "add a s*** ton of abalone and PR glass". We paid an extra...

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it is still amazing how quickly you see results. Our pool was completed a few weeks ago and was a green lake due to our tap water. Once the builder was able to introduce chlorine, it turned blue, but was still kinda cloudy. Their "pool school" started...

No decent pictures for this update because there's not much exciting to see, but the plumbing is 90% done. The piping is run, capped, and pressurized - has been holding 20psi all week. I noticed two misses by the plumber and the PB is already aware and working on getting them fixed. The...

Thanks for sharing the picture. That looks great! We're going with a broom finished cantilevered concrete deck on our new build, but I've been unsure as to how it will look in the "real world". Most of the pictures I've seen show the decking after being hosed down or with some sort of glossy...
