rainproof enclosure with a fan.

[BoHpool]

We just bought a DOLPHIN NAUTILUS CC SUPREME. I want to build a rainproof enclosure to protect the power supply. I run the unit overnight and I live about 300 feet from the pool. Has anyone done a similar thing? I am thinking of a plastic tub and a 120 VAC computer-style fan.

I've seen both a built square box, open at the bottom to shield the power supply, and the box was attached to an outside shed wall.

I've also seen a Rubbermaid box used for this purpose on the ground with just small cut outs for the cords.

New M600 robot

So after a few weeks of using my M600, I can say it’s an amazing robot, much better than my old Hayward aquavac 500. It does a really good job on the waterline, and the fact it’s online and can turn it on from my phone, and drive if need be, is a nice feature. Also the extra large basket makes...

My power supply lives year round mounted inside a large lifetime deck box that sits on my deck next to the pool.
I do have an umbrella that gets deployed daily during the dog days of summer that shades the box some. I don’t have a fan in the box because I didn’t want anything to be able to get in the box over the winter etc. in the winter the robot also lives in there

Thanks for the ideas, that is where my brain has been going with this.

I cut out holes large enough for the cord ends to go through (1 1/4” maybe?) & then put those cable face plates with the rubber sweeps over them so i can leave the lid closed but also get the cord in & out easily but the hole remains relatively closed up if i want to store the robot. Last winter nothing made its way in.
