Dolphin Power Supply blown in the pool.

[BMerrill]

Have a 2021 Dolphin M600.
Strong thunderstorms came through this afternoon and blew the power supply and the attached cart into the pool. From pool open to close the cart/ power supply stays plugged in poolside most of the time.
Have recovered from the pool.
Have not tested.

Any suggestions on getting it dry beside air dry?
Should it be rinsed with non-salt/chlorine water?

If it doesn’t work, guess I’ll have to order a new one. Unit is still under warranty, but doubt submerged units are covered.

It may be waterproof. Shake it from every angle after it throughly dry to see if you can get some water to exit somewhere. If nothing I'd say your ok.

I've seen those carts get dragged into the pool just because the robot made a mess of the cable and pulled it in trying to get to the far end. I keep a very large heavy paver on the base if I don't have where to tie it to like a banister.

Did it sink to the bottom or float? Not good if it sunk……..also not a good idea keeping it plugged in all the time. Lightning can fry the components.

Thanks for the replies.
Blew out the water in the back between the case and the heat sink. The electronics appeared to be very well sealed from water damage.
Will let it further air dry tonight and try it tomorrow.
