Can I pat you on the head to see if any of your good luck rubs off on me? We blew $350 on an electric Aqua Bot s2 pool vacuum that stopped working two months after we got it. It's one of those gizmos on a 50 foot underwater AC power cable, that looks like a lunar rover. I just spent two weeks in a group Charlie Foxtrot with the retailer, manufacturer, and depot repair shop trying to get either a replacement, refund, or different type of unit. It was just Tuesday that I got a prepaid UPS shipping label to send it in for repair. The model we got was manufactured in 2019 and everybody wanted to point the finger of responsibility at everybody else because of the manufacturing date, not the date of sale. (Word to the wise: if you have a pool, avoid Aqua Products hardware and In The Swim sales, period.) If this one fails out on us again, I'm getting one of those sea urchin-looking things that attaches to the pump inlet under the skimmer basket. I'm not going through this again. I also threatened to have the damn thing filled in with dirt and extend the patio over it. I only bought this house because she had to have that pool........pain in my tuckus.

Are just like boats in a way, a hole in the ground you throw money into, use rarely and sucks power. You also have the two best days. The day you get it and the day you get rid of it.
