Slightly late update: After dropping the Betta off at the UPS store on a Monday, it arrived at its destination on Thursday. Betta techs looked at it, fixed it, and had it on its way back to me the same day. I got it back the next Tuesday, dropped it in the pool, and it hasn't skipped a beat...

Dan, I have the 3 year warranty as well. Aside from this mishap, I have nothing but good things to say about the Betta. That little beast ran nearly 24/7 through the worst Houston summer ever, including August, which hit 100+ nearly every single day. And then, customer service emailed me on...

Sadly, my Betta SE has stopped running. I got a solid 9 months out of it before I noticed it not running yesterday, and the lights alternating red and green. I cleaned out the basket, toggled the on/off switch, and nothing. Filled out the warranty email this morning, and getting ready to look...

I just read this entire thread like it was a crime drama! We're all rooting for you. BTW, that torrential rain should help with the CYA level. So, that's a good thing.

For those who wondered if this is legit advice, I pulled the basket out yesterday, and sprayed the motors from the front and back. It did stop the noise. Two thumbs up to Orion7319 for this tip! 👏

The noise took care of itself during the day. I learned earlier to look for pine needles wrapped around prop shafts. I'll keep the water treatment in mind next time they act up.

Well, I may have jinxed it. Today, the propellor motors are kinda loud. They had not been previously. It still runs at same speed, and is not going in circles, so I suppose it is OK.

My Betta SE is fantastic. I run the Betta 24/7 and my Dolphin Nautilus CC about twice a week, and the pool has never looked better. The skimmer baskets are noticeably more empty as well. Highly recommend the Betta.

I did. I've had it in the pool for 2 weeks now. The first day, since it had a full charge, it ran all night. Ever since, it will peter out sometime during the night. My pool is partially shaded, so it does not get a full charge. Still, it does a very good job of skimming things off the top of...

WooHoo! Only had it half a day, and it is already awesome! Not a catkin in sight. :D

Whoa! Thanks for the great reviews. Once I realized that the Houston pollen attacks are beginning early this year, I started internet surfing for a solution. Of course, I immediately found the Ariel and Betta 2, so I came over here to see which ones the Trouble Free crowd likes. After a few...

It works! I've unplugged the RS-485 cable, and set the #1 setting to 2300 RPM and 24 hour duration. Took the pump off of external control. I reset the Waterfall schedule to come on at 1:10 pm, and it did exactly what we wanted it to. I'll watch it for a few days to see how the control panel...

Yes, when power is interrupted, only the clock resets to 12:00. The other settings stay in place. So, this is definitely a workable solution, at least in theory. The RS-485 cable does plug into the side of the Superflo. Originally, the Superflo was the main pump (and only VS pump), so that...

Thanks for looking into this, Jim. As I understand your suggestion, I would set up the Superflo (waterfall pump) to run as a stand alone unit, not external control. The power to the pump would still come through the PSL4. Is this correct? I assume that since the pump is set to run 24/7, the on...

Hmmm...only have the Intelliflo on here.

Found it! Apologies for the lack of focus, but it works for our purposes.

It's possible that I have set an eg timer without knowing it, since I am unable to locate where they are. I'll continue looking. EDIT: Hold on, I just found a completely new set of screens on the PC based ScreenLogic. Let me dig through that a bit.

That is the "schedules" screen from the ScreenLogic app. It is the same screen in SL Config. Neither seems to have an egg timer button.

Thanks for your anecdote. As I posted, I set several schedules yesterday to confirm that it was working. Question: what are egg timer schedules, and where do I find them?

I love my floodlight above my equipment. That location behind my garage gets really dark. I only wish that light worked when my power went out at 1 am last weekend.

Will add new screen grab momentarily...

Ugh. I was all happy yesterday and patting myself on the back for getting both pumps wired up and running properly. I was even more impressed that I found all of the apps for the automation system and programmed everything to run when I wanted it to. This morning, I saw the waterfall running...

Worked exactly like you said it would! All that's left is learning how to set these schedules the way I want them. Thanks again.
