Hey all, just to share as unfortunately the camera wasn't recording at the time.

I looked out the other day while Mr. Flowboto, our Polaris pressure side cleaner, was running. A big ripple was on the surface everywhere he went, and when I looked, I must not have gotten the bag on tight as it was mostly caught up in his wheel and all the flow was just pushing debris up to the surface. In a hurry to get to school carpool, I pulled the hose over to reattach it and wasn't thinking. Pulled him out of the water and, forgetting how he actually works, (insert America's Funniest Home Video here of a guy looking into the hose waiting for the water to come out) I got a violent and aggressive sinus wash / neti pot, my hat blown off into the landscaping, and just barely escaped a salty emergency eye wash as well.

Anyway, they're cute, they work hard, but know they are hiding in plain sight (just below the surface 🥁) to attack!
