Sorry to hear about your Betta 2 dying so soon. Hopefully Instapark is quick to return your repaired unit. Let us know how fast the turnaround is. I also purchased the extended warranty when I got my Betta 2.

Well I went ahead and upgraded my dead Betta to the Betta 2 using the $200 trade-in discount and added the 3-year extended warranty. They will include a pre-paid shipping label to return the dead Betta. I hope the Betta 2 lasts longer than a year.

Sounds like I need to go ahead and upgrade to the Betta 2 and buy the extended warranty. I'll share the return / shipping process. I'm still debating whether to get the 2 or 3-year warranty with the upgrade. I just have $$$ spinning in my head right now.

Looks like they're holding firm on the $200 discount offer only or sending back my Betta for warranty repair. I may just pull the trigger and take the $200 discount toward the Betta 2. Then I have to decide if I want to buy the 2 or 3-year extended warranty. What do you'll think I should do?

I called them and Ged instructed me to fill out the online warranty claim for documentation purposes. I got a response and they suggested I let the Betta charge up more in the pool while turned on. I let it sit in the pool for a full day and it never started up (still flashing red). I emailed...

Quick update on my refurbished warranty replacement Betta. It is now failing to stay on with the red lights flashing. I try to turn it back on and it would start up for a second but then the red lights flash again. I made sure to let it charge up for several hours in full sun and in the pool but...

I may also look into this. Other than the Salt Chlorine Tolerant (SCT) Motors, what other improvements have they made? Is the Betta 2 working better for you?

On my second unit that was a warranty replacement. The first one stopped working within a year but the second one is working fine.

Purchased my Betta June 22 and am now experiencing an issue with it. The Betta no longer is able to turn / back away from the pool walls. It just gets stuck against the wall. I made sure to clean off the sensors but unfortunately it still doesn't navigate correctly. Paddle and props seem to be...

We also noticed this when it rained. But once the sensors dried off / cleared out then it would function like normal.

I noticed my Betta getting stuck in one of our skimmer inlets and will need to reinstall the cover (same as above). We originally got these to keep the kids' toys out of there but quit using them. Hopefully I didn't throw them away and can find them again.

Checked out your original pictures and the blue model I received definitely has the smaller power button.

How small of a power button is "small?" There is a small, red power button on the end of the Betta. I would say it's about 1/2" square. Unfortunately the one pic I took after unpacking it from the box does not show the power button. I also agree that a plug in charger would be nice to have!

It looks like the blue ones are back in stock and I ordered it earlier this week and it arrived in a couple of days. I charged it up for several hours yesterday and put it in the water at sundown and it worked very well! Quieter than the Solar Breeze and picked up hair, grass and floating bugs...

I want to purchase the blue one but they only have the silver and white models in stock. I'll give it a week or so to see if the blue ones become available. If they don't then I may purchase the white one.

Hey Orion - did Instapark send the correct prop for your Betta and did you get a chance to install it and try it out?

Thanks for the thorough review and sorry to hear you have to deal with their (good) customer service again. I'm monitoring Amazon's inventory and pricing and will most likely order the Betta to replace my Solar-Breeze NX2. So when they send you replacement units they just let you keep the old...

How is everyone's Betta holding up now and are you'll still happy with them? My second Solar-Breeze just bit the dust and I am considering getting the Betta to replace it.

Did you end up purchasing the Betta? If so are you happy with it? My second Solar-Breeze just bit the dust and I'm considering the Betta now.

Let us know how the Ariel is compared to the NX2. Curious to see if the improvements help the Ariel last longer. Unfortunately Solar-Breeze's site shows the Ariel on backorder so I may have to move on from them. I'm considering an Instapark Betta solar skimmer. I'll probably order one from...

So after a year with the NX2 its paddle wheel gears have somehow worn down and are unable to properly spin the paddle wheel. I initially reached out to Solar-Breeze in December 2020 asking about replacement gears and followed up again recently. I'm sure the pandemic has impacted their parts...

I second Katodude's Solar Breeze NX2 comments. We recently replaced our original Solar Breeze after almost 3 years with the NX2 and it definitely feels more solid and does the job of collecting debris/bugs on the surface very well. We've only had the NX2 for a couple of months but so far, so...

Thanks wireform for the instructions and tip! I will give it another try this weekend.

How do you access the wires inside the Polaris 9350 floating cable plug? I ordered a replacement plug and can't figure out how to open it to access the screwed in wires. The exterior of the plug looks like the first picture below but how do I open it further to get to the screws that hold the...
