    Nautilus CC Tread keeps falling off

    I think the rear pulley wheel has more play than it should. It definitely has more play than the wheel on the opposite side, letting the track roll off sometimes. I can’t tell how to take the wheel off. Does anyone know how to do that?

    Nautilus CC Tread keeps falling off

    I replaced the treads last fall thinking that would solve the issue, but the tread on one side keeps falling off. Not every cleaning cycle, but certainly 1 out of every 5 on average. Is there any adjustment time be made to the rollers to make the tread “pulley” more tight?

    Pulled out robot and saw these little bugs

    We get dead worms after hard rains too. One side of the pool is right up against a lawn, and I figure the worms come out due to the wet soil, and are dumb enough to crawl up onto the tile and then fall in.

    Robot Cleaners - Dolphin S200/Dolphin Nautilus CC/etc

    I have had a Nautilus CC since Spring of 18. It does a great job in my pool, much better than my Hayward floor vacuum did before it. That said, in dusty AZ I found I had to purchase the fine filters because the robot would just blow around the dust and dirt instead of actually removing it from...

    Does the S200 really not have a repeating schedule function? My Nautillus CC has that and I like it.

    Pic of bottom of S200 series cleaner

    Awesome, thank you! On my Nautilus CC there are little doors, with smaller holes than the holes on the S200, that get clogged. Major PIA. Looks like the S200 has many more holes on the bottom as well, I suppose to help with suction when climbing walls?

    Pic of bottom of S200 series cleaner

    Can someone post a pic of the bottom of an S200 series cleaner? I have a Nautilus CC and the little doors on the bottom get filled with needles. It's a PIA to remove the doors and pull out all the needles with my big sausage fingers.

    Cleaned Dolphin Robot, Fingers Got Dyed?

    Wife just got home. After laughing at me, she has deduced that it’s probably oils from the leaves and needles that I cleaned out.

    Cleaned Dolphin Robot, Fingers Got Dyed?

    Cleaned out the Dolphin Nautilus CC as I do most mornings. As I was hosing out the filter basket I noticed that my fingers had some brownish dye on them now. Any clue what caused this?

    Like my current cleaner, thinking of an upgrade

    Well the basket handle on my current cleaner broke. My fault, I went to close the lid without pushing the basket handle down first. The main reason I would like to upgrade is I think additional brushes might help pickup the debris more efficiently. We have a lot of leaves from surrounding...

    Like my current cleaner, thinking of an upgrade

    My current cleaner is fine. One rolling brush. Gets the job done. Would something like the M500 be an appreciable upgrade?

    Crazy ad price.

    It's trivially simple to setup a Shopify site, then blast out targeted ads on Facebook. Target the ads to people who have posted about their pool, maybe have liked TFP or other pool sites, and bam, you have a chance at a bunch of suckers willing to send you money.
