I have 6 beautiful palm trees around my pool. My Pentair Warrior SE fails to pick up the palm tree leave stringy, thin, long strips that are 8” or longer. Those strips sit next to the floor and also difficult to scoop up with a net manually, some are even 22” long.

Anyone know how to deal with this? Is there a better robot that is better? My previous suction side polaris 280 did a better job, but I’d hate to go back to that and a silly booster pump.
 
My S300i ( same kind of robot as yours) has no problem with palm strips. I’ll admit it doesn’t always get them but I do find them in the basket. My old suction side cleaner got them up as well.

Does the warrior allow you to select different cleaning modes? When my pool has a lot of leaves and debris in it I will typically select FLOOR ONLY mode so that the robot doesn’t climb.

Interesting...I don't think there is any mode selection on the Warrior (or S200). there's only 1 mode, and it climbs up to the water line just fine. does yours pick up the spine (middle string) of the leaf? I'm looking for a robot with stronger suction for those, as I'm pretty sick of having to manually scoop them up every few day.

Hmmm ... I have not noticed it but I would sincerely doubt it could get the spine, they're too stiff. The fronds are what I was thinking of.
