    Matronics low voltage extension cord

    I've seen a bunch of threads about running the power supply off an extension plug. I really wanted to move my robot to lead into the deep end instead of the shallow end since the kids are always on the shallow end. At first I was going to run a new outlet and build some type of box to house the...

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    In case anyone else is attempting this, it does work with just the bot for up to 3 runs per day. By the next 8 hours the power supply has turned itself back off so the bot turns it back on. If you want more than 3 runs you would need to add a hub and some type of Google or Alexa automation.

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    I just got a switch bot hooked up and trying to get it to run at 5am 1pm and 9pm, it seems by the time the next run it's back to off. So only hitting the button once, does this make sense?

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    Got it so the first push is off and the second turns back on. And this is pushing the button on the power supply?

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    That's a good idea, so essentially you are having this turn it on and then off then back on again? It seems like to get it to run you need to power off then back on

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    No, I had an old power supply and opened it up. The feed going to the robot had the the wires, so it possibly wouldn't know how to actually move around but might go in like one direction. I think of my power supply died I would definitely try it out.

    Manually vacuum pool with above ground filter

    Yeah it's actually a bit bigger now as I have moved, maybe a full sized pump and filter combo on a dolly would be a better idea. The issue with the robot is it can't get the heavy stuff leaves and stones or whatever else makes it's way in there. I had one in the past and still had to vacuum...

    Manually vacuum pool with above ground filter

    I am thinking of trying to use this above ground pump/ filter combo to try and vacuum my pool without needing to hook up the the pools system. This should save a bunch of time as well as not closing up my actual pools cartridge filter. Will this work? Intex 28635EG Krystal Clear Cartridge...

    DIY Maytronics Power Supply

    Has anyone tried to build a power supply for their Maytronics? Mine actually works fine I just would rather be able to set my own clean schedule through a smart switch. It’s too bad the normal power supply does not start the cleaning cycle when power is applied, instead you must hit the power...

    maytronics dolphin power supply repair

    Mine died as soon as I purchased it and they sent me a new one. I opened the old one to see if there was some type of fuse. There was no fuse inside or anything that looked like it was damaged or could be replaced. There is a lot of stuff going on inside there. All kinds of boards. Not sure...
