CarlD, have you sent a link to this thread to Maytronics? I bought my unit based on the recommendations on this forum and have not used it because my plaster is still only one week old. It will be going back as a return if they don't demonstrate that they actively care about customer issues and can resolve them.

Good luck. That's too much money to spend to end up with a slow underwater RC toy. I really hope this is just an anomaly they can address. It takes too much time researching these pool accessory purchases!!
