    Solar Breeze has a new robot

    Retail is 530 looks like. It’s sort of tempting since I have no wall returns, I guess I’d have to take my robot out inbetween cleans though which is a tall order.

    Solar Breeze has a new robot

    My brief experience with the old model was it’s basically just a tray with a mesh filter, so it’s a quick rinse or shake off. Doesn’t have a ton of storage as the tray is only half an inch or so deep. My gripe with the old one was that it kicked a decent amount of stuff out the back instead of...

    Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus being discontinued

    Warrior is great. I think the pricier robots are likely a lot of useless fluff. The cord cover is a great idea, mine winds up all over the place on my deck.

    How do you clean your attached spa

    My spa is some old school design where it is connected to the pool by two equalizer lines about 2 or 3 feet down. I guess they just plugged them back in the day when they wanted to run the spa by itself. I have two crepe myrtles nearby that dump endless amounts of stuff into it. It has its own...

    How do you clean your attached spa

    Just curious, for all of You with Gunite spas and pool robots, how do you clean them? Manual vac, battery vacuum, a broom, net, and time? Mine is a pain in the rear to keep clean even using a battery vacuum. Granted mine is from the 90’s and has no spillover to send most stuff into the pool, but...

    Buying a Dolphin M600 today... any comparisons to Nautilus CC Supreme?

    After reading way too much about robots, almost buying an m600, then getting an s200 for less than half the price, I’m convinced the fancier ones don’t do any better of a job. Manual driving is neat but mostly a novelty. S200 has an active brush, , can be automated, and Is easy to clean. If any...

    Solar Skimmer

    I had the sola skimmer for a couple weeks, ended up returning it. I noticed it just kicked a lot of the small stuff out the back, which was disappointing because that’s what I got it for. It also got in fights with my robot cleaner and ate its cord regularly and would get stuck, even with the...

    Caretaker 99 pop up problem

    Having fought my old crappy system for a while, make sure 1. Flow is entirely diverted to infloor. I had my spa valve partially open, totally killed the pressure for the infloor. 2.If you have a variable speed pump, run it at full speed.

    Pentair Warrior SE vs. Dolphin S200

    I bought the SE a couple weeks ago after growing tired of manually vacuuming this 35k gallon deep end pool I inherited and ohmygod this is so much better. Not always spotless but an extra clean or two a day gets just about everything. Remarkable how much stuff it picks up. I went back to the...

    Solar Breeze ?

    I ordered a solaskimmer for 350 from Costco. Will let you know how it goes. Their website says they recently, as of January, updated the components to be more durable. Who knows if that pans out, but I’m pretty sure I get 2 extra years of warranty w my Costco card so if I got 3 years out of it...
