For less then $30 you should be able to find the leaf vacs that hook up to a garden hose and do the same thing. If you dig aroud more you can probably find them cheaper then the on in that link too. If I don't want to add water my pool I just hook the garden hose up to my cover pump instead...

Marvin II My other half suggested Martin but I misheard it as Marvin (the peranoid android) and it stuck.

This. I also make sure the pump is off when my robot is running as per the manual for my previous robot.

I'm happy with robots. With a suction size cleaner all the gunk that gets sucked up goes somewhere else in the system. I have a lot of fine debris from pollen and the like over the summer. I find it easier to clean out the robot's filter then to clean out my cartridge filter. I run it once a...

I appreciate the double check :).

The pump motor is working, but the drive motor keeps turning off. We took it apart and couldn't find anything obvious jamming things up. I think it was new in 2008, so I'm not feeling up for putting much money into it.

Did some more digging and dispite what the comparison chart said the Proteus DX3 is not the same as the active 20. Dohney's Discovery is the same and only slightly more then the Proteus DX3, so we'll probably get that instead.

Tough call. You could look for a used power supply on ebay, or keep an eye out on craigslist for a machine posted for parts.

I was just wondering if this robot would really do a good job on the walls since it doesn't have the floaty handle thing on it? Rambling backstory.... The old aquabot turbo I got used last year seems to have died. IT runs for a few seconds then stops, guy at the pool store said its probably...

Its putzing around the pool right now, but I can take a picture when I take it back off. The treads are deffinitly flattened off, and not round like the ones in the pictures here: How To Change Drive Belts on Your Aquabot(Residential)

The wall whale helps with one handed pool brushing :P

I got a used Aquabot Turbo T. It can't seem to climb the 90 degree walls in my shallow end, but does OK once the pool starts to slope down and the angle from the bottom to the sides decreases. The treads look pretty worn, so I think that might be the problem? I was also thinking of just...

Have you checked that they will actually replace it? When I bought my house it looked like they all had some kind of "beyond useful life" language that would have excluded my pool pump and furnace. Depending on your pool a dual speed pump might be a good option over variable speed anyway.

I just got mine and if you have a lot of leaves its great. I'm not sure if it would be worth the effort for just a couple of leaves.

I found a youtube video and it looks like it goes backwards in the video too
