    Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus in Above ground pool?

    Not saying it will work for you, but I had an aboveground pool before I had the inground pool installed. My first and only robot cleaner was the Nautilus CC Plus that I bought for the aboveground and now use in my new pool. It worked equally well in both.

    Does anyone’s Nautilus CC struggle going up the walls sometimes?

    Mine does a poor job of cleaning the walls, coping, stairs, and ledges. He only climbs the walls every other pass. and then he may move along the rim of the pool for maybe a yard before diving back to the bottom. I really do not mind this since he does an excellent job on the bottom of the...

    Betta SE Plus

    Tcat, I did redirect almost all of my pool suction to the floor drains rather than the skimmer since the skimmer is basically not needed anymore. A couple of advantages to having the Betta SE is that: I barely ever have to clean out the skimmer any more I do not have to worry about over taxing...

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    Correct. I never use the coarse filter for my robot. Not sure why you would choose the coarse over the fine. Now I do not own an EVO, but my Dolphin never misses a leaf or dirt when I use the fine.

    New EVO 614i Robot Pool Cleaner Review

    I have always used the fine filter on my robot for everything. If I am cleaning, it might as well be picking up everything.

    Do Nautilus Plus CC and the Nautilus Plus CC with Wifi use the same base robot? Having issues with the connection with the power supply..

    Bob, I was told when I got mine that the only difference was the power supply. Matter of fact, they said that if I wanted to upgrade to wifi in the future, I would just need to buy the power supply from Maytronics.

    RIP to my Nautilus CC plus. Exactly 7 years of service.

    You are going to kick yourself for waiting so long once you get one. It is one of those things like a SWG that you do not realize how nice it is to have one until you actually have it.

    RIP to my Nautilus CC plus. Exactly 7 years of service.

    Ansem, Keep us informed on what you decide to do. I have had my Nautilus CC Plus forever too. Since I have never had a different robot, I have nothing to compare it to. If you decide to switch, it would be nice to hear what you think compared to your old Nautilus.

    Robot Vacuum Recommendations

    I second the above statements. I have owned a Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus since 2017. I bought it to use in my ABG and now use it in my in-ground pool. It does an excellent job cleaning the bottom of the pool easily sucking up leaves, acorns, and even sand. I wish I could tell you how much...

    Betta SE Plus

    I have the standard SE model. However, I have never had a real need to take it out and plug it in to charge the battery. Sure on cloudy days, it may not run the entire night cleaning. But so what if I miss one night of cleaning. It is back on the job again once the sun peaks out.

    I am also very interested in what this sheet states @RedScare . Would it be possible to take a picture of it with your phone and post it here?

    Instapark Betta review

    DJPool, I have discovered that the above action is related to the amount of water in my pool. After a strong rain, my pool may fill up to about 1 inch from the top of the coping. When this happens, the SE sensors do not see the edge of the pool and the SE will just sit at the edge of the pool...

    Instapark Betta review

    Through the summer, I have run my pumps at low RPMs, Skimmer nearly turned off, and pumps only ran for 12 hours with the last hour ran at a faster RPM to clean out any air bubbles. I have had the SWCG set generally at 70% to maintain a perfect FC level. My hope is that this lower run time and...

    Instapark Betta review

    This is a wonderful little robot. My SE runs 24/7 and keeps the surface nearly spotless. Living in Florida we have all the different bug seasons (beetle, cicada, wasp, spider, etc..). Since I have purchased this little guy, I have hardly ever seen a bug floating on the surface. Before, we...

    Instapark Betta review

    Hmm.... Grunky, you make a good argument. I was totally going off what the manual on the manufacturer's site says. Here is the exact quote copied directly from their manual today: Note: Betta ONLY takes solar charge when power switch is ON However I have not tested whether the manufacturer...

    Instapark Betta SE extended warranty

    The only problem you will have with Asurion's warranty is that they basically refund your money for the item. Though this allows you to repurchase the item at no cost to you, you will have to repurchase the Asurion warranty. If you get the warranty from the Betabot company, they will attempt...

    Instapark Betta review

    Be sure the power of the SE is ON while it is sitting in the sun getting a charge. Remember that the SE will not charge unless the power is on.

    This deal happens all the time, Jupiter. I would not stress about it if you cannot get one this time.

    Instapark Betta review

    Now that you mention it... We had some really bad rain here that basically turned my pool into an infinity pool. To my surprise, the Betta SE did NOT like working in this new infinity pool. It would constantly just get stuck on the sides because I assume the avoidance sensors could no longer...

    Instapark Betta review

    Herman, You are correct. I have bottom drains that will take care of the circulation. With the skimmer off, drop of water level will not affect the pump. No, I do not have an autofill. However I cannot imagine that in two weeks, I would have a drop of water level enough to warrant having to...

    Instapark Betta review

    Tcat, Good luck. Keep us informed on how it goes. So far, I have not seen anything but blinking green lights on my Betta. Cleaned it out and checked the pool skimmer yesterday. Hardly anything was in the pool skimmer. That's a great sign. That basically means that I can go on a week to...

    Instapark Betta review

    Just registered it and bought the 3 year warranty from the Betta site. I should be ready to rock. It is so NICE to not have to push the beetles with little waves into the skimmer when I get in. Go Skim Jim, Go!

    Instapark Betta review

    Next update... First day I got the Betta SE, I took it out of the package, turned it on, placed it in the pool at 3:30pm, and it ran all night. It was so surprising to see the little green headlights flashing in my pool in the middle of the night telling me it was cleaning. My pool surface did...

    Instapark Betta review

    Ok, I received my Betta SE and placed it in the pool. This robot is going to be worth its weight in gold when the oak trees start loosing their leaves and the dreaded curly things. It did get stuck at the skimmer, so I turned down the suction of the skimmer and added more suction to the bottom...

    Instapark Betta review

    I purchased the Betta SE (2023 model) that should arrive today from Amazon. I am hoping it has most of the bugs worked out. Reading this, I am thinking I may need to see if I can purchase the three year warranty from Amazon after the fact now. What do you think? Chance it with the 1 year...

    Debating on Robot models, do I need waterline cleaning for an above ground pool?

    I would recommend buying the best you can afford to help out with the cleaning. I would hate to have purchased something while always wishing I would of purchased something better. With me, I purchased my robot in 2017 for my aboveground pool and am still using that same robot with my new...

    Maytronics Nautilus CC Pro

    Rental, It will be nice to hear a review of your Nautilus Pro once you start using it. I bought a Nautilus Plus in 2017 and it has been fantastic for the pool floor. It does a poor job on the walls and waterline, but it has been flawless for the pool's floor. Also I have never had any issues...

    I bought the Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus in 2017 for my above-ground pool and still use it for my in-ground peebletec pool today. Link in Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q8M0NWE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It does a GREAT job with the floor and walls. It does...

    Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus or Something Else?

    I have the Nautilus CC Plus that I use in my pool. It has been wonderful. If your pool shed is close to your pool, then I would skip the caddy. I keep my robot in a storage bin right at the pool so no caddy for me. It does climb the walls of my AGP but I would not call the cleaning at the...

    Maytronics Nautilus CC Plus for Inground Pool
