Tematech?

Thanks, interesting. The Tematech website certainly makes it look like they are making the Aquabot Bravo. Also, on certain comaparison charts, the country of origin for the Bravo says NA, instead of USA, thus my confusion.
I see there is also Aquatron, Inc in New Jersey, appearing to make the Bravo?


BTW, are there alot of swimming pools in Israel? I really don't know anything about Israel other than the usual news, which doesn't give impression much pool lounging is going on.


The Tematech website says, "Let Tematech Build You A Custom Line of The World's Finest Automatic Pool Cleaners Under Your Brand and/or Logo."

Another thing to consider is the FTC rules on Made in the USA. 100% of the parts can be Israeli, but as long as X% or XX% of the assembly is done in the US, it can be labeled Made in the USA. Not that I personally care, but there can still be a shell game going on.

And the 1 hour cleaning is a farce as well. It says 1 hour, but I know the Aquabot Viva take 1.5 hours to just do the bottom as that's what the default timer is set to. If memory serves the FULL cleaning cycle is 3 hours to include the bottom and walls, so the 1 hour cleaning is not particularly true.

I'll state my full Aquabot Viva story (and it's a doozy) once my new model shows up. Seems I got my hands on a brand new one for $1100, but boy was it a troubled road that led me to that killer deal.

Just noticed yesterday when putting my Blue Pearl power supply away it has a label on the back that says "Tematech Power Supply".
