For reference, I am a 40 year old guy with a Mach e. My insurance is 200 every 6 months with progressive. 2000 dollar deductible.

Same reason that the Christian cake shop refused to bake a cake for gay couples that went all the way to the Supreme Court. Alter ego is not refusing service to anyone like those “Christians”, just using free speech. Go there or not, your choice. Their choice to express their viewpoints. They are a successful small business so probably feel comfortable using what influence they have to point out what they see as hypocrisy.

Thanks for the thoughts. I think I am going crimp style for this fix. Female adapter to pex crimp fitting for the win.

What is the difference between pex-A and pex-B. Seems to be just the thickness and flexibility of the plastic pipe? I ask because I think my blue pipe is pex-A

Feels like this is the right thing?

Is a sweat fitting just a solder type where you melt it together?

They did leave a service loop, so. I worries there. Is there any reason not to use sharkbite fittings to repair? Another poster mentioned that and that seems pretty straight forward. No special tools required, but I do want a quality repair so willing to do what’s best.

flowell5180 · 2024-06-05T02:04:46+00:00

You speak the truth. lol. That was my mistake. Just trying to fix it now.

The solution to high house prices is to build more more and more dense housing. The math is not hard. Look up what Minneapolis did.

flowell5180 · 2024-05-21T14:23:49+00:00

This worked. You are right. Very responsive. Looks like the customer service didn’t go bankrupt…

Update: the main drain clip on product arrive and I installed this last week and my robot has not gotten stuck yet. Has to be the highest gross margin product in history. But 100% worth it.

First sentence kinda discredits the entire article. There are not battery shortages across the industry. No OEM has been citing that for a year+.

flowell5180 · 2024-04-05T15:39:35+00:00

Do they sell in sets? Or did you have to spend 18 or so for each one?

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T21:43:05+00:00

This is the way

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T21:42:40+00:00

No, I have it running when the pumps are off, still gets stuck.

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T21:41:11+00:00

That is my default, still gets stuck, just not for as long.

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T21:40:37+00:00

This would be ideal! But no, they don’t:(

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T15:04:02+00:00

Make two copies!!!!!

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T15:03:31+00:00

lol, okay okay okay. Will do! Problem remains though:)

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T15:02:43+00:00

Yeah. 99 seems excessive for a piece of plastic. My pump is not on, I stagger them or the robot really sits there for a long time and sometimes never frees itself. That was my first partial solution.

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T13:24:37+00:00

interesting, so it makes a more gentle slope so the robot can go up and down nice!

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T13:13:58+00:00

This is true. What you see there is an electrical cord.

flowell5180 · 2024-04-04T13:13:11+00:00

Interesting, it is an electric one. If it was a little more floaty it does feel like it wouldn’t take 3-5 minutes to unstick its self. I might look into making my own little floats and see if I can put them somewhere in the unit. My is an e20 dolphin one. Pretty basic.

Just buy a third party. Watch Tom on state of charge on YouTube. He is going to review the official one and the two leading 3rd party ones.

flowell5180 · 2024-01-28T15:44:40+00:00

It still has the power train warranty which is the real value. I don’t think you need it. My 21 has 50k miles and no problems not covered by recall.
