Father-in-law gave me an old Dolphin Diagnostic that had been sitting in his garage for years (someone gave it to him).
I said I'd take it as I was looking for a robot (actually already ordered a Maytronics S200).
I tossed it in the pool and it drives around but in general it only goes back and forth in one area. My pool is not big but it will only clean [poorly] about 10% of the pool. The rest of the pool it doesn't even drive to. It also seems to have some difficulty driving up walls even though the top jet that holds it to the vertical wall does work.
Is it worth it to fix it? And if so, any ideas of what has it driving from one side to the other, then right back over the same spot indefinitely?
