I have had 3 over the past three years. None latest for more than a few months. Just stopped working. How do you treat it with care? Do you add silicon to the plug before using it or did the plug already have silicon on it? They include a packet of silicon with the unit so I've often wondered about that. What about after charging? Reapply silicon?
I thought I also treated mine with care but they all stopped working. I basically gave up on them but they are so handy that I recently bought a Pool Blaster Catfish Ultra and am hoping to have better luck with it.
There seem to be few alternatives. Perhaps if one could use one of those units that attach to a hose but instead attach it somehow to the return outlet of the pool using an adapter of some sort. That way you wouldn't be adding cold water to the pool.
A replacement battery/motor pack is almost the price of a new unit.
