Yep I ended up crafting my own legs. Used these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-48-in-2-Sided-Driveway-Marker-Red-31454/304518983 Cut off two 9” pieces and filed flats on them until I got a good friction fit in the existing leg holes. Problem solved for $8. And the legs are rustproof...

Talking a shot to see if anyone here had the ability, for a charge, to 3D print longer anti-stranding legs for the Instapark Betta. It doesn’t look like there are any available off-the-shelf options. The problem to solve is that my sun shelf is deep enough that the extension legs won’t stop the...

Whelp, call me stupid because I went ahead and ordered the NX2. They are running a sale right now for $478. Bought direct from them to make sure the warranty info, etc., is in place. We'll see how it goes.

Ironically, the front paddle wheel has stopped again today, essentially making the unit nonfunctional for the second time in two years. Man, I cannot wait for their patent to run out because anyone willing to copy the design with even marginally better materials is going to crush these guys...

thanks for the tip...I'll do that this weekend!

I had my gen 1 Solar Breeze for a year before the paddle wheel gears gave out and stopped propelling the unit. Sent the unit back and they replaced the parts under warranty, but it took over a month in the middle of summer. The solar panels are also clouding over at 18 months. There are plenty...

Currently have the Maytronics Nautilus CC Plus (bought May 2018), and it works very well. No repairs, etc., so far. I'm thinking about getting a Dolphin T55i or S300i in the spring, so would go that direction if I were buying today. Those two are basically the Nautilus CC on steroids....also...

Hey Jim, no thankfully since getting on board with TFP, I haven't had any algae problems. I was just looking to see if the newest robots did an adequate enough job with brushing to enable me to reduce or eliminate manual brushing. I already use a CC Plus, but it only uses its rollers for...

How well does the 30i work on removing algae from pool walls, waterline, steps, etc.?

I have the CC Plus. Really like it. I've had it for a year. Not a single quality problem. No maintenance or replacement parts needed so far...not even the filters. And as Jimrahbe said, it pretty much gets everything. I use a SolarBreeze NX surface robot to minimize the amount of debris...

Good enough reason to me. Subscribed to PoolMath app as well. Happy to help those who are happy to help.

Thanks for the pointer on the K-2006-C. Since I'll need a new kit anyway, I'll get the larger test kit. The TF-100 is 1oz bottles for $70. The K-2006-C is 2oz bottles for $107. Seems like the Taylor kit is the more economical option?

Absolutely agreed. Latest tests using Taylor K-2006 kit...pH=7.3, TA=80, CYA=130, FC=8-ish Need to get the CYA down before SLAMing so I'm working on that now (partial drain and refill). Pretty sure I had my automatic chlorinator set too high using Trichlor tabs (only had this pool for a few...

I have the Nautilus CC Plus with the Dual-Filter setup. Have never had to remove anything and the factory filters have done a great job for a year plus. If you can post a photo of your unit hat might help.

Looking to move from the CC Plus to the T55i. I’m attracted to the T55i brushes rotating 2X the speed of the drive treads as a way to brush off light algae growth. The CC brushes are more for locomotion than actual scrubbing. Any T55i owners have feedback on this?

It’s almost been a year. How has it held up? And do the rotating brushes remove light algae when it does appear?
