After first being very impressed, I was starting to have doubts about the Betta SE Plus. It would only go forward a foot or so and then stall and back up. Kinda sat in one place. I also noticed that debris was leaking out. I never saw it happen, even when I reversed it at high speed with the remote, but when I went to empty the basket, there was less debris than when I had originally checked. Turns out, I think the issue was low power due to a couple of cloudy days. I plugged it in and it took 5 hours to reach full charge. It’s been humming along ever since, including overnight with green lights still on this morning before sunrise. I hope that was the issue. I also cut down a noodle and placed them in the skimmer openings and that seems to be preventing the unit from getting stuck. I’m not thrilled with the look of noodles in my skimmers, though. But getting up to a perfectly clean pool surface sure is nice!
