I recently bought a betta bot SE, it’s been working great but it keeps getting stuck in the deep end skimmer.

Once the front end was stuck in the skimmer, the other few times it looks like it was driving by the skimmer and it was caught by the suction of the skimmer. It’s just sitting horizontal not moving and I have to give it a push.

Anyone else have these issues and how did you fix it?

I want to keep the robot but not if it can’t make it by the skimmers. Thanks

Can anyone tell me why its still watering when its raining out?

I have adjusted the weather station to one closer months back, today it shows 100% chance of rain today with .75" expected.

I have the weather skip threshold set to 1/4"

But its still watering while its pouring out.

I just bought a rain sensor but what good is the weather part if it does not take it into account.

Also, i cant find the rain skip button anymore, I'm assuming it was removed? I have to log in and stop the watering manually.

Any suggestion on settings to prevent it from watering while its raining out? Thanks!

I had some broken sprinklers that I just replaced with the Hunter PGP from home depot. They work well but throw the water too far so I had to tighten the screw to decrease the throw.

Now the throw is perfect but I noticed that where the water hits the screw, it sprays down into the ground creating a pool of water. Is there a different nozzle that could decrease the throw and prevent the pooling of water or am I doing it wrong? Thanks

The image below doesn't look bad but after 12 mins its a good size pool of water. Thanks!

I have an aquacomfort heat pump heater, I'm thinking of getting a new pentair intellipro3 pump. The heater has dry contacts that can tell it to turn on/off with the pump.

I dont see any dry contacts on the pentair intelliflow 3 pump, but i did see they sell one with an I/O board. I called a few stores and no one was familiar with how it can be used. Worst case I can try to I use a shelly device or something similar to turn on the heater when the pump is on but I was hoping new pumps would have some of that functionality.

Right now, when the pump turns off, the heater goes into flow mode (no flow), the issue is that when the pump kicks back on, i need to reset the alert on the heater so its a big pain.

Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks

I take my robot out of the pool and put it in the shed to charge, its usually soaked with water and drips all over the wood until its dry and its ruining the floor.

Is anyone using a mat or plastic tub to catch the water until it dries?

If not, what are you doing? Thanks
