check the distance from the end of the pool blaster insert to the pin holes. you may have to loosen the pole and pull the pole handle back a little if the pool blaster insert is a little long. One of my tools is like that. i'm assuming you have an extension pole.

Robot would turn in only one direction and then stop dead after a few minutes. Nothing found in tracks or gears. thought it might be a dead motor drive. Ran it without belts to take the load off the side of the motor drive that was getting stuck. it worked. so looked closer underneath and found...

1. make a weighted ring to surround the drain cover using noodles and lead weights? 2. weigh down a frisbee to cover the drain? could crack the main drain valve open slightly for some suction to help hold it in place. obviously only while vacuuming. i know, not very good ideas, but maybe get...

I use one at pool opening in spring. it does tend to get sucked to the floor occasionally so you have to twist it to release the vacuum. It's okay, but i will probably not buy another one.

Kato, good stuff, thanks. Are you planning any tests of the skimmers while the robot is also in the pool? Interested in how the skimmers handle the cord interference.

here's one with weights i'm considering but havent got yet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IT2W0PY/?

I have a poolskim and am not thrilled with it, but i do use it during heavy debris periods, usually early spring and fall. I would definitely try higher speed. You might try it at the other return as well. Mine seems to work better at the middle return instead of at the ends. I tried ends first...

Have you checked to be sure the diaphragm isn't clogged?

Bx, looks like you might have an aquanaut cleaner. Here is a link to the manual so you can see what kind of hookup you are supposed to have. Hard to tell from your pictures, but looks different from the manual. not to mention the rocks...

Good stuff. As Kato said, pics would be GREAT! Thanks for your review and welcome!

Don, do you have the ability to vacuum to waste? If so, do that. if it recurs, do another SLAM.

Kelly, i have one and do not recommend it. only so so in my experience.

Thank you!

so what was the group discount? i might be interested too. thanks

Mine improved over time after replacing climbing rings; how long has it been since you replaced them? Did you check the styrofoam pieces to be sure intact?

Update on replacing climbing rings and note regarding disassembly from posts 27 and 28 from this thread: https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/dolphin-premier-m5-4th-season-refurb.136555/page-2 My modus operandi is to take an easy task and make it difficult. So when i tried to remove the end...

Patrick, I look forward to your new refurb thread. I just realized i have had my m500 since july 2015! i had been thinking 2 maybe 3 years, haha. my vinyl liner is a little easier on the machine but i just ordered some replacement climbing rings as my robot is no longer climbing the vertical...

if you cant find something that will work, you can use the tool you referenced. it will work without the nubs, as it was designed to get around them. unless of course, the whole piece that had the nubs broke out, that is the slots at the back of that piece are no longer there. sorry if i missed...

woody, i didnt see the glass until i read your note. ha. unfortunately for me, my clock is on the wall.....

woody, i didnt realize the margarita machine was part of the pool equipment. dont forget the 5o'clock clock. lol

That's cool. what is expected solar cell/battery life? everything i get that is solar craps out quickly, although they are cheap stuff.

Have you tried turning down the flow from the main drain when running the robot? I had to do that for a robot i had before the m5.

I think it is a weight that actually goes on the hose that connects to the suction vacuum device itself, not at the skimmer. other end. I had a barracuda at one time and that's where mine went.

Good info, Patrick, Thanks!

Several things, but the main one is that everything worked until recently. So what happened recently? your uncle messed with something. did the cleaner start having problems right after that? If so, ask him again to see if he can remember. walk him through what he did. When did you notice the...
