8 new items by Barry Levine I thought I'd add photos of the final installation. When people swim, the cable can be drawn up and coiled inside the deck box, so it is out of the way and stays clean. I believe I've also come up with a solution I've seen so many people complaining about (cleaners...

Thank you. Apparently, there's no reason to go beyond my 14 gauge extension cord.

Since this is at a rental house, I can't predict where people will walk, so I played it safe.

It is true I questioned some of the pilots' common sense. Some would get drunk and take straight O2 to sober up, but they ended up drunk again when they got to altitude. The Iranian pilots tended to get lost in the air and panic. The Norwegians had to be tied spread eagle on their beds when they...

I guess, like Maytronics, I care about liability. Rather than have a trip hazard from a cable lying on top of a sidewalk, I tunneled under the sidewalk and inserted a length of PVC conduit. The conduit was used for 3 reasons. One is the cable isn't meant to be directly buried in dirt, another is...

Jim, based on your photo, let me share another incident. While in pilot training in the Air Force, I questioned my instructor pilot about a particular emergency procedure. I said "If I follow this emergency procedure in this situation, I'll kill myself." He responded with "Yes, that's right, but...

Why not just worry we'll throw our furnace into the pool to heat it up? My son was once called to work for an emergency. They had to prevent a satellite from dropping into the atmosphere and burning up. After driving across town to fix the problem, he looked at the equipment and said "It would...

GKW, I appreciate your willingness to measure the amps drawn. Do you also have the Nautilus CC Pro? If not, are there the same number and types of motors in yours? I already have the 14 gauge extension cord, so if I don't have to buy another, that would be helpful. Now that I'm retired, I do my...

Don't bother calling Maytronics for tech support. You won't learn anything there beyond the little provided with your product. The S2 filters will work with the Nautilus CC Pro. You can order their 9991458-R1 for the basket and ultra fine filters. You can also order 9991467-ASSY or 9991496-ASSY.

Reviews of this cleaner say it is a very effective cleaner, but their customer service and tech support is worthless. After much research, I discovered the controller pulls 2 amps, yet no one at their company has any idea how many amps are pulled when the cleaner is operating. The closest I can...

My son just gifted me a Nautilus CC Pro for my birthday. After reading this forum, I see the major problem with Maytronics is water gets to the motors and shortens their lifespan. Has anyone come up with a sealant idea to keep water from getting to the motors? Silicone? Non-drying automotive...

The Pool Cleaner hose floats on the surface without floats, so I don't believe adding floats would solve my problem.

How would I connect these between a 1-1/2" male and 1-1/2" female hose? These are the same on both sides and appear to be held on by clamps.

That sounds like a great idea, but where do you find these swivels? The swivels I see online leak air (reducing the vacuum) and don't fit the Poolvergnuegen hose segments. I think it would be challenging to design a swivel that floats on water that doesn't leak. A link to the working product...

Unfortunately, this is at a rental, and the tenants don't untwist the hose. I only get there once a week. There has to be a way to reduce this from happening. I figured out a way to reduce its tendency to tie itself in knots. I weighted my leaf canister so it points down rather than floating on...

The swivel on the head of The Pool Cleaner rotates easily, yet the hose continues to get twisted. This limits how much of the pool can be reached by the cleaner. What recommendations do you have to reduce this tendency? I'm thinking that maybe adjusting the floats on the hose by the head may be...

I find the O-ring starts leaking, so it sucks in air (if it is sitting on the surface). If it is underwater, it will just draw in water. I'd prefer it suck water than air, so keeping it below the surface makes more sense to me. If it draws in too much air when I'm not there, that may prevent the...

To avoid the cost of frequently replacing the O-ring on this canister, I had wired a zinc ball to the handle. On this forum, people recommend against having zinc balls in the pool, so I'm wondering what else people are doing to weigh down this canister, so it doesn't float to the surface. Maybe...

I bought the kits, but I'd like to have extra shafts on hand, as I'm not in control over what goes into that pool. The kits are $35, while the shafts probably wouldn't even be $10.

The shaft gets tweaked when the cleaner sucks up rocks, but that doesn't seem to affect the rest of the assembly.

It's still a waste as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure that someone could make a lot of money by making aftermarket parts for this pool cleaner. Most people wouldn't choose to replace an axle when they could just replace the bearings.

That makes as much sense as buying a new car whenever you run out of gas. I guess companies just want to force people to buy more than they actually need. Aren't our landfills full enough, already?

Parts for The Pool Cleaner seem to only be sold as kits, adding significant unnecessary cost. Does anyone sell specific parts? For example, I'd like a steering shaft, yet they only sell it as a steering assembly kit (part # 896584000-136). The same holds true for the front right gear drive...
