    Your little green bottles should be an absolute NO NO by the pool!!! Glass should never come anywhere near a pool as it can create a deadly hazard if it breaks and gets in the pool. Switch to cans or pour it in a plastic cup before you get near the water.

    I dunno, I think if he ever breaks one into the pool he should do a little expiriment and sit there and drink some more and see how well the Aquabot Turbo does with glass. He might be out there all night but it sounds like a worthy issue for study.

    Additionally,

    Always have clean underwear when you go out and don't run with scissors.

    Door bell just rang, and FexEx dropped off my Blue Pearl -- they did not bother for anyone to sign for it - just drop and run.

    Guess I will go out and set it up.

    Update: Smartpool is sending another call tag for pickup back to their shop.
    I hope it gets fixed this time.

    Also, the dolphin will not climb walls.
    Will report back.

    Received back my Dolphin yesterday. It was wet and fithy dirty right out of the shipping box. Put in pool, turned on power supply and the Dolphin just sat there, did not move. I grabbed the remote and punched in cycle time to 6 hours, Dolphin started up. Back and Forth for 6 hours. No climbing walls, no stop and turn, just forward 20 feet and back 20 feet over and over. It also is not picking up dirt very well. This is the same defect I reported when I called for service.

    This is the second attempt Smartpool has had to fix my Dolphin. No luck.
    Fortunately for me they have paid shipping both ways. I only had the Dolphin 3 1/2 weeks before I called for the first service call.

    Now I want my money back!!
    I would not recommend this unit. I"ll report back on the refund issue.
