I take it out every 5 days and clean the filter and let it sit on it's stand for a couple days then put it back in. If you get the WIFI version you can turn it on and off via the app, otherwise you really don't need to do anything "It's gon' be some slow singing -n- flower bringing............ if my burglar alarm starts ringing" | |||

Thanks Kev, it's definitely appealing. Looks like the non-WiFi model is NLA, at least via Amazon. There is the 1 level lower model, that's a bit over half the CC Plus model. But once, cry once, I suppose. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Yeah, the cost of these things is insane, BUT they do surpass expectations. I get to enjoy my pool instead of spending all my time removing leaves and cleaning palm nuts and silt from it. Once you get one of these robots you will never go without it. "It's gon' be some slow singing -n- flower bringing............ if my burglar alarm starts ringing" | |||

Yeah, it's a near constant for us too. But pine needles & the occasional pinecone. Would suck to have an idle booster pump, but whatcha gonna do? The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
You'd want to check it daily for a while see how well it digests pine needles, and if the cones will stop the machine up. If so having one with the app, should it give you notifications of it being stuck, jammed, etc like a Roomba would be advantageous so you could clear the problem that day. You should have a pool cover with all those pines around the pool, the sap, cones, needles would be a major PIA for any pool cleaner. Or a pool screen but that's a bit more $$$ than a cover and a cleaner... | |||

Luckily, we've had no sap issues. Pine needles aren't terrible most of the time, but Beryl, and autumn definitely add to it. I try to check the pool daily, just for peace of mind that all is good & there's no foreign objects in the pool. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

| Thank you Very little |
Ours is screened in, really eliminates the pine needle problem, if what I pull out of the gutter along the back is any indication, the screen makes a big difference. Covers are a PIA, but if you aren't using it much like in the winter, might be a good idea. | |||

What is winter?  We also have an elevated spa, so it would need to be an odd shape cover, or would need to exclude the spa [and allow for the spillover] The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

I removed the vegetation around mine, that would drop shit into the pool. My Polaris only runs 2 hours a day as it doesn’t need to be run more than that. I’ve only had to replace the pump for the Polaris twice in 18 years. The first I just did the motor only and did it myself. A couple of years ago it was time to replace the entire pump and I went with the Polaris pump. Runs like a champ and was cheaper than the other options. The only time I have to pull the skimmers and clean the Polaris net is when neighbors’ monster trees are dropping leaves and what not. I’m out there every day during that time. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I have a Dolphin Echo. I had to swallow very hard when I dropped over $600 on that thing vs. the $300 pump operated ones. Pffffft, looking back I would do it again without a second thought. Soooooo much better. | |||

| Thank you Very little |
That time when temps are cool enough that you're out in the MG with the top down, riding a motorcycle, and the pool waters too cold! | |||

 I concede on that one Pressure port replaced, dialed the restrictions down & it seems to be running better, the old one was stuck wide open. Also think I need a driveshaft, it doesn't seem to be grabbing the teeth on one of the wheels & causing the circular travel. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
