So I have had this problem since I bought it last year. Hasn't happened often but today I kind of got a little upset with it. Sometimes, when climbing the walls the cleaner will fall over so its nose is sticking up. It doesn't go anywhere after that. I always flip the unit upside down and side...

This thread was an interesting read. Obviously what we need is a Star Trek like tricorder but it seems that is a little far off.

I received my new PSU yesterday and happy to report my problem has gone! We'll see if it happens again next time Maytronics decides push another update.

A quick update: So far, Maytronics support has been very responsive. Emailing back to me within 12-24 hours. Unfortunately the advice and troubleshooting instructions have not helped. They are now shipping me a new PSU with the firmware already updated. However, the robot itself, still needs...

Seems there's no difference between the two models so I would go for it.

I just talked to my PB. Actually this guy didn't build the pool. I'll just call him PG for pool guy. He's going to get me a quote in a new cartridge filter. He says he always includes the installation a 3-way valve. Going to be a bit of shock to the wallet though. Thanks for all the help and...

Still jumping through the diagnostics hoops ...

Thanks cowboy. What's purpose of the valve? To bypass the filter when draining the pool?

6 months maybe depending on weather. We opened early this year because spring came early. Typically though I open mid-May and close end of October.

Thanks for the replies. I currently have a 24 " Hayward sand filter - S244T. Specs are here: ProSeries | Filters | In Ground Pool Filters - Hayward Pool Products It has done a good job so far in keeping my pool clean. I don't have a lot of trees nearby so not a lot for it to filter. What size...

So my 12 year old sand filter is shedding sand into the pool. I can't get replacement parts for it and frankly at 12 years old it is probably time to replace it. So I was thinking of switching to a cartridge system. My PB is telling me you never need to backwash these and just replace the...

No dice. So called reset procedure does not seem to reset anything. Also re-installing app but that didn't help.

Still seeing my issue with the unending software update. I contacted Matronics support via email and got a response asking me to reset the robot. Here's the procedure they told me to do: 1. Disconnect the black cable from the electric outlet. 2. Disconnect the blue cable from the power supply...

I'm having the exact same problem. Seems like Maytronics has pushed an update but their robots aren't taking it.

I haven't covered my pool in years. As you are beginning to realize, in terms or work, it can be a net negative. However, I live in a fairly leaf free area so I don't get a ton of stuff dropped into the pool. Combined with a lot of chemical warfare, a pool robot, and some manual labor I can get...

Anyone?

I have two mechanical Intermatic timers that control the pump and heater. I want to replace them with something a little smarter. I was thinking of using something like this from Sonoff...

It's a sizable tree. Unless you are very comfortable working with a chainsaw I would get a professional in. Once you get the tree cleared away you can better assess the damage

The filter bag prevents waste from getting back in the pool AND from clogging up the impeller. I'm sure it's okay to do it in the short term but just don't make a habit of it.

Is this unit new? Looks almost like the iRobot cleaner I had. When it wouldn't climb walls it was usually due to the filter bad being full and therefore too heavy for the robot to climb. Another thing, the rollers look like they are foam. When new or the unit has been out of the water for a...

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered the Dolphin Premier. It has wifi and bluetooth and also came with a caddy. I found a lot of models hard to get here in Canada. Like the Dolphin S200. It wasn't even available on Amazon. Anyway, I wanted some of bells and whistles so found the premier on sale...

I have an iRobot verro (not sure actual model). It quit this week after 8 years of abuse. It was fine but didn't like the filter bag it came with. Pain to clean. Now looking for a replacement.

Thanks for the link. So I need the whole thing, eyeball included.

So when closing my pool this week, I couldn't put the plug on one of returns because part where the eyeball thing threads in was completely stuck. I ended up getting it out but not without damaging the part. So what part of parts do I need to order? I believe the opening is 1 1/2 inch. Thanks,

Thanks! Wiped it clean with some paper towel then doused it with the alcohol. Let it air dry for about 20 minutes and then finished the install. Pump is much quieter and moving water well. I do have a minor leak on the output. Something to deal with on the weekend. I also still seeing some...

So got my new pump and I got a seal kit with it. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't realize you're not supposed to touch the white ceramic part of the shaft seal. Well I touched, my 12 year old son touch it. Can I still use it? Can it be cleaned? Not entirely sure why touching it is a problem. Thanks

Indeed. Gonna bust out my pool robot too.

Thanks for the advice folks. I think the churning is due to the fact I just opened the pool and there is still air in the lines. Due to the racket the pump is making I haven't run it long enough to get it all clear. Anyway, I will replace the motor and keep an eye on it. Thanks.

Man, just looked at a video on how to replace the bearings. Don't have the tools, skill or the patience so looks like a new pump. Also, why do you think I have a suction side air leak? Thanks,
