I too am interested in the Blue Diamond/Aquabot Turbo T4. I have been a Dolphin user for the last 3 years but if it's better I'd buy one. It doesn't look well thought out though. The cart looks cheaper, the power supply has a big antenna on it and no joystick on the remote are just a few of the things I noticed. I'd also like to see a video of how it changes direction. I look forward to more reviews.
Well,
I've given up. Too many people are experiencing too many problems and I'm tired of the BS (Barnyard Slush) from Smart Pool and Maytronics. Maytronics, in Israel, has TRIED to help, but what they haven't done is tell Smart Pool "Stop screwing around. Fix this guy's machine, even if he has to pay for stuff besides the motor."
Too many people are reporting Dolphins, even new ones going back and forth and not climbing walls.
I'm too darn tired of "It must be your water--lower your pH to 7.0-7.2" What??????? Everything's wrong except that all of a sudden it stopped working.
So today I decided to order a Blue Diamond with remote control. I'm done with Dolphin and their unwillingness to REALLY help.
I think I'll put it up on eBay and try to unload it. Waste of money.
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, DO NOT BUY ANY DOLPHIN PRODUCTS. THEY DO NOT SEEM RELIABLE AND THEIR SERVICE SEEMS TO BE DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE YOU FROM USING IT!
I need to re-title this thread so I'll do it by merging. I'm done with Dolphin and I'm going to get rid of my Dolphin Dynamic. The US rep, Smart Pool, claims there's nothing wrong. The Maytronics rep can't figure it out--and told me to contact Smart Pool.
But it won't clean my pool properly.
Good-bye Dolphin!
Carl, where did you get your Blue Diamond? How much was it? When is delivery scheduled?
Surely a full report will be written after the 1st hour of cleaning:)
Pool Doctor--the same people who support Pool Buster. With Remote and delivery $1499 (and they're tossing in an extra filter bag). A lot cheaper than the list $1899!Quote:

Cool!
You can attach pics to a post--see the Manage Attachments button below when you are writing a reply. Just be sure to make them fairly small or they won't be accepted.
Ok Carl,
As long as the weather holds up here in NJ tomorrow , I'll post some pics .I just threw it in before and it cleaned the whole deep end in 20 minutes .My main drain broke 3 years ago so instead of fixing it for $10,000.I opted for this cleaner to clean up all the junk that collects there.
I'm with you Rescue! I'm in NJ as well and we are HOPING the T'storm predictions are wrong!
Rescue, I can host the pics and video for you. Send them via Email and I'll get them up asap. After tomorrow though I won't have access until Saturday.
