Just bought a Dolphin - would love tips

[martyhammer]

Just made the Dolphin plunge (on ebay!). So...is the caddy worth the additional expense or just try lugging it around for the first season?

I dunno. It doesn't roll very well at all--it's poorly made and they charge a lot for it. But you can keep it all together and lines neat. Plus it protects the brushes.

I like the caddy. It is poorly made, but it does help to lug the dolphin around. The dolphin is quite a bit heavier than the aquabot.

Also, my caddy has the transformer hooked on to it,so you don't have to carry that separately.

Not sure what the caddy costs as I got it together with my dolphin on ebay.

I store mine on its side opposite the cable. My sport pool is symetrical, yet for some reason the dolphin cleans BEST with the handle adjacent to the cable and diagonal. I have no explanation for why this seems to be true but reversing away from the cable and diagonal, it spends 98% between the two returns and misses large areas on each end. The power supply is right at the middle of the pool.

I still reverse the handle occasionally, but generally after cleaning will lay "Dollie" on her side with the cable up. Then I unhook the cable from the power supply, stretch it out and untwist it then reattach it to the power supply. Stretching the cable out seems to eliminate the "memory".

Hope this helps, Tony
