I purchased this due to the claim it was made for concrete pools. As some of you know they are much harder on the cleaners and do not always perform as well as the surface is not even and smooth. When it arrived I admit I was caught up in the coloring and unique design. Looks like something you would see in a sci-fi movie. Unboxing and assembly was easy enough, the regulator for the skimmer caused some concerns but worked it out with a little adjusting.
Once in the pool it initially worked very well, started skimming as soon as I turned the filter back on, I use the intake port that is in the pool. Seems to have a better flow on my pool. After an hour I saw that it was getting stuck in the stair area. Moved it, as I have done with others, and thought nothing of it. It kept returning and doing the same. Searched on google for similar issues from others and adjusted accordingly. Worked for a day or so. Of course while at work very hard to keep moving and came home twice with skimmer in same spot.
At this point I contacted their "customer service" via phone. After sitting on hold for quite some time I spoke to a rep who basically told me he was in sales and not "really knowledgeable in the working of the thing". He passed me to someone else, after another long wait person I spoke with gave me some FAQ response and then told me I could "probably find a solution if I searched online". Once I stopped laughing I told him thanks for his help and went back to the internet search.
What I found was not encouraging as there was little data on the specifics I was experiencing. The concrete version was relatively new and consisted merely of a different rubber skimmer. Not sure of technical term they use. While it did clean it also kept getting stuck in areas that no other cleaner had before. Not to mention the walls were not as clean as the zodiac had cleaned them. This was my former cleaner. Simply put a lot more brushing involved.
This went on for several months and hottest part of summer was over so algae was reduced as well as the need to brush so I did not pay much attention to the cleaner. However one Saturday when I went out to hose the filter I noticed the rubber portion had come off the cleaner body. When I stopped filter and pulled it out noticed the portion that it attaches to was missing a piece of plastic. After searching in the pool I finally found not one but two pieces. Noticed they were worn down as well. tried to affix using one of the gorilla glues but could not get it to align well enough to reattach the ring.
It had been 6 months since purchase so I called their customer service again. The first snotty person I spoke to told me I must have snapped it some how as their product would NEVER do that. I asked to speak to someone who could explain how I could return under warranty. She told me " we do not warranty customer abuse". A true asset to her company I thought not realizing it was exactly what they encouraged.
After getting no where I decided to go the BBB route. Once again snotty and condescending reply to be told only way this could happen was abuse. No information requested just a blanket statement. After replying that answer was unsatisfactory told to send pictures. Which I gladly did. NO response at all, nothing. Complaint was closed as no reply from them was forthcoming and I did not agree with response.
So now I have a $300 work of modern art that is useless. My wife is in real estate and I own a contracting company with my son. No it is not poetic justice as I am an honest and hard working contractor who finishes on time and on budget. However I can say that neither of us will ever recommend this product or avoid any opportunity to let people know how Pentair Pool treats customers and their lack of commitment to making things right. Bad enough that the maintenance on these things is generally the equivalent to buying one of the knock offs, but to be treated this way and not stand behind your product speaks volumes as to their integrity and commitment to customer service.
Oh, by the way, the solid disc still gets caught on the rim of the center drain, so I may have to switch to the pleated disc with the fringes. Fortunately I still have the old one and hopefully it will fit the new one.
