Amazing how the twisted floating cable floats in the air. I hope the cable isn't you very next problem. I've seen those break internally when they're acutely twisted up like that.

Get the robot out of the water at the far end of the pool then disconnect the cable from the controller and start coiling it up from the connector end with a 20" diameter circle virtually like you're rolling it on the ground but in actuality it's in your hands. Here's the tricky part, as you walk towards the robot with it in your hands you're also flipping the coil right or left which ever way it would be untwisting the cable. Do this till you reach the robot. Now on a very sunny hot period of the day uncoil it on the deck flat out so the cable softens and releases a bit. On the acute bends you can carefully straighten them. When you drop the robot back into the water put in the deep and uncoil it into the water till you reach the controller. If you have lots of cable I make a few "S" shapes with cable continuously making sure as best as I can to untwist it should I see a ripple. If you never let it get bad it's not a hard thing to do once in a while. I do it at all my pools and at times it drives me crazy when I watch it not reach because the cable is limiting it from traveling.

I can see the swirl design on the bottom of my liner from the deck, even with the pump running! And my eyesight is terrible lol

Love it!!!!! If you can’t tell by my username and pics, I’m obsessed with floats! You and your daughter need to come up with a name for this little guy and get him some friends!
Beautiful new pool and water!@Decoy205 is that the same liner you have? The border looks the same!

I didn’t think I would like mine, but it’s kind of growing on me! It also hides small amounts of dirt so much better than the light blue and white checkered Intex liner where I could see every speck lol. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but it is much easier on my OCD lol

Her name is Trilin (long 'i')
And pretty sure it is the same liner as Decoy - Boulder Swirl I think it's called. Seems like there are about 5 common and abundant above ground pool liner patterns and this is one.
Maddie- yes, love the dark blue liner as well! They do fade as the section under the steps will probably start reminding me in a few years. They even gave me this one at a discount since it was overlap and not j-hook. I didn't like any of the jhook patterns.

yep! It’s the Boulder swirl. At first I thought it was too dark but I like it better than the one we had previously.
Clear enough for my family to use it almost every day. It gets a dose of liquid chlorine every day or two and a bit of muriatic acid every couple of weeks.

I think I have one of the 5 common liners too lol — Mysteri Gold. I honestly am not crazy about it but of the choices available when I ordered my pool from The Pool Factory, I figured I would settle for it over the other available options. Boulder Swirl wasn’t available in unibead style for my size pool (sold out — they only had it in overlap and I wanted unibead), so I had to settle for Mysteri Gold over the other ones they had that I hated lol. I can’t wait until it’s time to change it and I can get the one I actually want that is not sold at The Pool Factory. This is the one I really wanted to get and regret not just taking the free blue overlap liner that came with my pool (and sell it or keep it as a backup in case of emergency lol) and buying this one from another website:Her name is Trilin (long 'i')

I like this one a lot too, but of course it is also not sold at The Pool Factory lol. Not crazy about the silver border, but that dark sparkly tile design is so pretty!
I guess you could say I like “mosaic tile” style liners over the swirls (Mysteri Gold is swirl also but a slightly different shade of blue). I do really like the Boulder swirl one, though!
