Now I haven't been watching as I had to go to work, but I was VERY encouraged to see the new one doing things the old used to do and stopped doing.

I'll let you know later if it continued on that positive note.
This is very encouraging news indeed - since I bought my Dolphin Diagnostic a few months ago based on rave reviews on this forum and other research.

I have decided to only run the Dolphin when needed - we brush a lot more now. And when we put the Dolphin in the pool we take it out when the pool looks good - this is about 2-3 hours after we put it in versus just letting it go for 8. We also wash the bag in the washing machine every time and we rinse the machine after each use - and keep indoors.

Hopefully a little preventative medicine goes a long way.
