Betta SE Pollen & Navigation

[djpool21]

The Betta SE has caught my attention and I have a few questions for owners. How well does the Betta SE do with pollen? I don't see a choice for filter options. Will the Betta SE reverse when it encounters a pressure side hose or will it get stuck? Any issues with it getting stuck at a skimmer?
Thanks.

Instapark Betta review

I thought I would post my impressions of the Instapark betta and my experience with it. The beta does an excellent job cleaning the pool, it is the only skimmer I found on the market that has a very large container for collecting debris. I get a lot of pineneedles in my pool and this feature was...

Okay, I wasn't sure if my specific SE question was best as new thread or added to the Betta review. I'll repost there.

So it does have a reverse. However, my experience is it does not do well with another cleaner with a hose in the pool.

When I run my M500 I pull the Betta out. That is a good time for me to clean the basket and hose the unit off. I turn it off and put it in a sunny spot to get a full charge. When the robot is done, the Betta goes back in.

I do have an Aiper SE which I use for little maintenance cleans and that does not have a cord so it goes in while the Betta is running.

I thought that might be the case. I’ll probably have to leave the hose outside the pool most of the time and not run the vacuum schedule. Thanks.
