    Gotta ask - where did you pick this up? Awesome!

    Dolphin caddy question!

    I have the Warrior SE (same as S200). The front roller sits in the front of the caddy near the handle. I've seen no issues with regards to "squashing" any part of the bottom of the robot.

    So.Done.Researching. Which Dolphin (or other bot) to get...

    Two (y)(y) up on the Warrior. I have the Warrior SE, and it works great. Zero issues so far (going on 4 years old now).

    Dedicated Vacuum Line

    Pentair Warrior SE/Dolphin S200. They are the same, just different colors! Call Marine Pool & Spa (303-985-0077), and tell them you're with TFP - you'll get a great deal. You have to call to get the deal.

    Dedicated Vacuum Line

    I would eliminate the vacuum line. A robot will clean far better (and cheaper) than any vacuum cleaner you can get. A robot can also clean the walls and water line while a vacuum can't. Removing the vacuum line means one less line to worry about, no port sticking out into the pool, and zero...

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    No need to file by snail mail. I filed online and received the rebate very quickly. (And saved postage!)

    Pentair SE , SI or dolphin 200?

    I got mine last year - I paid $699 (no tax or shipping), and there was a $50 rebate.

    Pentair SE , SI or dolphin 200?

    The Pentair and the Dolphin S200 are exactly the same. Only difference is the color of the body, and the name on the outside.

    Traditional Robot vs Polaris Quattro Sport

    One other huge advantage of a robot... it is much easier to manage the power cord when removing the cleaner, than to manage the hose that attaches to the suction side cleaner. My last pool had a Polaris suction side with a booster pump - while it worked well, it was a pain in the Rear to pull...

    Which Pool Robot for me???

    I've got the Warrior SE from Pentair - it's really a Dolphin S200 in Pentair clothing :) I got it from Marina after seeing the recommendations here. $699 and a $50 rebate from Pentair. Shipping was fast and robot works great. I have the caddy, and wouldn't be without one as I store mine in a...

    Should I use a clarifier?

    I used clarifier (Super Blue) regularly (on a weekly basis) on both of my last two pools that had DE filters for 35 years. I did this because the pool store had me do it - it was before I ever found TFP. However, I never had an issue with the grids. I had to replace a grid on my pool in MI...

    Should I use a clarifier?

    Interesting... I have a filter swap coming up - I may test adding a little clarifier and see how the filter looks when I swap it. I'm fairly new to cartridge filters, and I have to say, I really miss my DE filter.

    Should I use a clarifier?

    I have to inject my experience with clarifiers here as I see they are getting a bad rap :) While I haven't used a clarifier in my new pool yet, I used clarifiers (Super Blue) weekly on both my 42K gallon pool in MI for 25 years, and in my 18K gallon pool in GA for 10 years. I had a DE filter...

    Robot Only?

    I don't miss the remote, but I would never get another robot without the caddy - this has been a lifesaver for me! Word of warning - Marina has great prices on cleaners, but they want $149 for the caddy. I got mine for $99 at Pool Supplies Superstore.

    Robot Only?

    With regards to the caddy - I bought one after getting my Warrior SE (the S200), and wouldn't be without it. I store my cleaner in a shed that is about 50 feet from the pool. When I had to use it, I hauled out the cleaner and it's long cord - not that heavy, but cumbersome to move - in one trip...

    Robot Only?

    What filters did she upgrade? The Pentair Warrior SE comes with two sets of filters standard - a fine filter and a mesh filter. Did you get something in addition to these?

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    I have to share this, because this is CRAZY! I received my new Pentair SE Warrior in December. About the 3rd time I used it, I happened to look at the bottom and noticed several cracks: I called Margaret at Marine, and she had Dolphin send me a replacement shell. I replaced the shell yesterday...

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    Just an FYI - I found that to be just inaccurate enough to cause a great deal of confusion. It has models cross referenced to incorrect models. If we could clean that up, it would be an awesome resource. Also - when you get your new Pentair cleaner, go to the Pentair site and submit your...

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    I got mine from Marina's for $699 and just received my $50 rebate. I did not see a qualifying purchase price listed on the form I submitted.

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    The Warrior SE is the S200. No reason to wait. I received mine, and it works great. Same warranty, same functionality, different color.

    Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200

    FYI - Called Marine Pool & Spa to order the Dolphin S200 a couple of days ago. They were all out and were not expecting any in until sometime next year. They informed me that the Pentair Warrior SE is the Dolphin S200, just a different color, and they were getting some in last Friday. Same price...
