My Dolphin ate My Pool. A Cautionary Tale.

[tenax]

can you say 'class action lawsuit?"

The unit was an Aquabot / Storm,

Has a similar design to Dolphin with the rotating scrubbers.

Units must get stuck trying to climb in the 90 degree corner and pull on the liner causing rips.

Be interesting to find out whether that is the only scenario where damage occurs.

You guys wanna sell your Dolphins cheap to me?

I just ran mine with the no climb option, and while the nylon wheels did bump into the walls exactly as I described above, it did not do it with the same force as when it was trying to climb.

Tomorrow I am going to dive the pool and check the liner out again. The water is too cold today.

If I can get by with out damaging the liner, I will keep mine. It cleans great.

If not, I can sell it here in Massachusetts for a fair price, to someone with a Gunite or Fiberglass Pool.
