Maytronics thinks it's the controller.......

OK I got it running again. Sort of. It’s just bouncing around in the pool. No period selected on the controller. So something is screwy somewhere. It might run indefinitely since the controller doesn’t switch off? I can’t even press the power button to stop it,I have to unplug it.

I threw my triton in the pool like usual and went to check on it later to see it wasn’t moving. Going back to the controller the “interval” lights were all blinking. Quick google says unplug and plug. Tried that. Same blink pattern. Unplugged again And took the robot cord off and plugged in...

I read about this and went to check my flame rod (last week) and the rod screw and bracket are rusty. I just TOUCHED my screw driver to the screw head and the head fell off. I'm afraid to remove the rod now and have the bracket crumble.. and the screw hole still filled by the rusted screw...

Fellas, Lately when I fire up my corner spa from my iAqualink the AGS light comes on the heater. If I cycle the "power" on the button of the heater off and back on usually the heater fires up and the AGS light does not return. Sometimes it takes two cycles, but generally one will do it. What...

Yep. No matter what we did we couldn't get a good seal so I bought a new o-ring. When we put the top half of the shell back on it was evident the other one had lost it's shape or became compressed because the shell had a lot of 'gap' between the top and bottom until it was clamped back down...

Ahhh. I see the o-ring is oblong. That could be the problem... will check tomorrow with daylight.

Wait, the oring has sides? The thing is as clamped as it can get. The band is nearly touching itself.

I did notice the coating material on the inside of the band is flaking off. I wonder if the loss of whatever thickness that is, is causing grief?

I'm late on the filter cleaning, but my pool guy took apart my CL580 and rinsed the filters, took the o-ring off and wiped it down and wiped down the channels on the top and bottom of the shell and liberally lubed the o-ring and put the top half back on and put the band on again. We tried...

So far so good. It did miss getting a patch of leaves out on the first run but got them the second run.

I have a Triton on the way, my Aquabot Breeze 4wd broke for the 4th time in 2 seasons.. it's done.. I'm done with Aquabot. Hope Maytronics fairs better.

This thing has been a literal nightmare. The swivel has blown apart twice and now it seems like it just gives up. It's only been through 2 full pool seasons. I went through the diagnostics where you flip it on it's head and plug it in. The fan spins and the wheels move backward and forward but...

If maytronics felt that way perhaps they should warranty them for two years instead of 1.

Don't be so fast to want a swivel. My Aquabot Breeze 4wd has broken twice at the swivel in basically 2 years time. Once under warranty and once out of warranty which I managed to fix. Though I'm unsure my "fix" will last long.

Alright. Well, at least you're back up and running. If you're willing to part with the cord from the PS to the Wall (if it's removable like mine) shoot me a PM.

Suzook could you also just replace the fuse?

Suzook If you give up on the aquabot I’d like to buy the cord that goes from the controller to the wall. If it’s like mine it’s removable after you remove two screws holding a collar on Some rodent nibbled on mine and removed part of the jacket so it’s just electrical taped now.

I have the opposite problem with my breeze 4wd. The swivel has broken twice on me. Controller still going strong. Crossing fingers it lasts at least 4 years like yours.

I store my Aquabot and controller in a deck box when not in use. But as I said spontaneous rainstorms have soaked my Aquabot controller which has not caused grief yet. If I get a Dolphin I'll have to rig up a container to protect it from the elements.

I don't have a dolphin yet and no my Aquabot doesn't have a caddy. My issue primarily is that Texas is known in the spring time especially to have torrential downpours and the controller may get caught in them. As I said my Aquabot controller has been through many storms.

3 or so times a week. For the record my aqua bot swivel has broken twice, so I can’t recommend the aqua bot brand but a lot of folks here love their Dolphins.

I snapped the tail off my Polaris 480 Pro one winter when I took it out of the 30 something degree water to empty the bag and put too much pressure on the tail somehow. So I feel ya. That's how I ended up with my Aquabot Breeze over another Polaris.

Evaporation does not cause you to lose salt.

I have no idea what that clip held in place It looks like that's how you lift the blue top of the body off the tower?. Maybe you can jb weld (or something pool safe) it back on for now.

I know the AquaPure EI didn't have it, but the TruClear AFAIK has always had it. (it's so new it's hard to tell really).

This seems 50% true. There's no Salinity sensor but the TruClear documentation clearly shows it has an RS485 plug for automation purposes: from: https://www.jandy.com/~/media/zodiac/global/downloads/h/h0613500.pdf

Sometimes things get returned opened but unused and depending on state law have to be marked refubished when they are repacked. This happens a lot with Apple laptops.

A $38 dollar mistake, at least: Polaris Base Assembly For 380 / 360 Pool Cleaners - 9-100-7026 - - - Updated - - - Oh and just for the record, some of the pool supply companies around here will fix your Polaris for just the cost of parts, no labor involved. You might call around and see if...

It's hard to tell but it looks like a Polaris 280 to me. When my 480 stopped moving it was the gearbox. It looks like the 280 just has a drive shaft: Polaris 280 drive shaft replacement - YouTube Maybe look into this.
