Not having to net grass clippings out of the pool for 10 mins after mowing makes the Betta worth it by itself.

The contour of the front is either slightly different, or if floats just a touch lower in the water. The front corner of the SE Plus now jams itself into my skimmer and gets stuck. Putting down the front stair feet solves the problem though.

6x HC50s, 300 sqft. Completely unobstructed, second-story south-facing roof. It was a perfect setup.

The unit 100% charges while the switch is off, despite what the manual says.

Lol same here. My 50-foot blue oak is taking a dump straight into my pool, and my dual Bettas are doing a pretty good job at keeping up. We had a solar heater installed a few weeks ago, so hopefully we'll be swimming this weekend :D

The green LED on the Plus power brick is SO dang bright at night. This is definitely getting the electrical tape treatment.

Yeah my Plus is lasting forever too. Not sure if it's just that the battery has degraded on my 2, or if the battery capacity is that much larger on the Plus.

Wow that was fast. Dueling Bettas!! 2 minutes later…

Ok so I just did their online chat on the website and they said that if you previously purchased a Betta, and it is still within the extended warranty period (in my case, 3 years), then you do get 20% off (10% with the 2y warranty) of the purchase of an SE Plus. I didn't see anything about a...

Whoa sweet, was this also a thing way back when they were selling the 2? I can't find anything about it in my old emails.

Ohhhh battling Bettas. Great idea.

Looks like they just announced the Betta SE Plus, which mercifully has the option to plug it in to charge, in addition to solar. It also has something called a shallow water guard, which I'm guessing makes it navigate stairs easier. Looks like it's $429, and then according to the email I...

I am also in the Sacramento area and just got a quote from Solaron today. We have a 2-story house, with our south-side completely available, and completely unobstructed by anything (trees, etc). Due to the optimal location of where our pool equipment is, and the south-facing panels, they...

Ugh, mine will now run for a couple hours, then just turn off. No LEDs, no propellers, nothing. Even in full sun. If I turn the switch off and on, it works just fine for another couple hours. There’s definitely moisture in the LED housing too. I just got this back for like my third repair...

Just FYI, the unit absolutely charges when the switch is set to off. So if you take it out of the pool and turn it off, it will still charge. Having you take it out while it's still on is an odd suggestion, but maybe that's so you put it down in a single sunny spot instead of having it travel...

I would 100% screw up the circuits setup, so that option is out. Unfortunately, I got busy and couldn't check to see when the pump shut off on Sunday. I'll check it out on Saturday if I remember.

I’m looking at Schedules in the SL app. The pool pump is currently on, but I’ll have no way of knowing which pool schedule is running until I see if it shuts off at 6pm tonight or goes until 9pm.

So yeah, there were a bunch of wacky schedules set up in the LCD that weren't showing in the SL app. I went through and cleaned them up, so now I only have weekday/weekend schedules for my pool pump. But even after an ET and wireless module reset, SL is still showing the weekday schedule...

Funny enough, when I was trying to figure it out earlier, I did see an entry for booster pump that was 8am-5pm every day. It definitely didn't run that schedule, but odd that it was in there. Will verify the rest on the LCD. Thanks!

So I have 2 separate schedules for my pool pump: one during weekdays that doesn’t run as long, and one that runs on the weekends for a longer duration since that’s when we normally do evening swimming. The problem is, my weekend schedule never kicks on, it just runs my weekday schedule even...

Just got my repaired unit back yesterday. I got super excited when I saw it show up in a box labeled SE. I thought they may have just given a new unit. Alas, it was my old 2, oh well. They replaced the broken LED and looks like they swapped both of the motors out. It's weird not having a...

Holy smokes my allegedly-repaired Betta is going to be delivered Saturday. One week after I shipped it out.

Yep, that's what my manual says too and in the winter/early spring months, it would die often, so I'd turn it off and set it on the pool deck to save it for days that had a bunch of junk in it. When it went back in, it had a full charge and could last all night.
