Blue Pearl Robot - anyone know anything about them?

[rak70]

Not to burst anybodies bubble, but the Blue Pearl Robot is a private label, low end Dolphin. Also, this private label in the same level of Dolphin is being sold for $699.00 delivered by many pool suppliers.

Aquabot does the same thing and you can find all kinds of names for their private labels.

But, if it works...........use it.

And where do you get this information from?

I have owned the lower end Dolphin Diagnostic that I believe you are speaking of and returned it because it was not working properly (and customer service was terrible). Ordered the Blue Pearl and it does not appear to be the same unit to me. The programming is definatley different, it's faster, lighter, power cord is lighter, appears to have a lot more suction and different brushes just to name a few.

And where do you get this information from?

From a Dolphin Distributor. I guess they would know, right? Open the unit up and look for manufacturing location.

What $699 Dolphin is the equivalent though? I don't see one.

As for the manufacuring location, that gets into my questions about Tematech in Israel, who appears to likely make it. However, Tematech seems to sell to Aquabot, not Dolphin, even though both are in Israel?

The Blue Pearl is manufactured by Watertech , nothing to do with Maytonics' Dolphin cleaners.it is the lower end of the Blue Diamond cleaner line .It is manufactured in the USA .Watertech is owned by the son of Aquabot .Maytronics is a competitor .

The owners of Dolphin and Aquabot were partners in the Dolphin. They had a falling out and the one left and started Aquabot. I have Aquabot and my parents have Dolphin. They love theirs, but service is a bi*ch. I get my Aquabots locally in Wyckoff, NJ from their huge warehouse. Haggle with them and get a great price.....service is great also.

That does not sound right??? I thought the Blue Diamond/Pearl company was founded by the son of the owner of the company that makes the Aquabot, and that the Dolphin is made by a totally separate company out of Israel.
