Blue Diamond Pool Robot - Tune up

[thadius65]

Hello,

I am coming up on my second year with my blue diamond pool cleaner. How long until a tune up kit is required? I have noticed on my vinyl liner that she (Rosie) sometimes slips, or spins.

Thanks,

Ted

Anyone have info?

Am I asking this question incorrectly? I thought this was a popular robotic cleaner?

Can you tell us where the "tune-up" kit is available? I don't know about it.

I have seen it several places, but here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Tomcat%C2%AE-Tune ... B004KELGMI

Just not sure of life of the individual products. Like when do tracks or bands need replaced, etc?

I did the tune up when the PVA "brushes" began to shed bits of blue material into the pool. I probably only needed to replace the PVA, but since I had the drive belts and rollers, I changed them out too. As I recall, that was after about 3 seasons of cleaning. I'm going on 3 seasons again and I haven't noticed any deterioration of the PVA brushes so far. The Blue Diamond is still cleaning like a champ. I'll wait for bits of blue to appear in the pool again, or one of the drive belts to break. Otherwise, I'm happy to let it do its thing!
