My ecosphere's water level has decreased since the original. I followed the directions of the manual, but it is still decreasing. Any idea on why?

You should Make a hole where it is sealed off with silicone and refill with distilled water

Assuming your sphere is not leaking (there's no water coming out that you can see, right?), then the water is condensing inside on the exposed glass surface which makes it look like the water level is dropping. The condensed water will eventually return to the main body of water. The manual actually mentions this. Hope this helps you.

There is no place for the water to dispear to! I can only guess that you are wrong about the water level changing. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

I tried to adjust it too... no luck.... just use less water in the tank and aim it to the side.... the beta will get used to the current :)

Try this: Remove cover, empty out all the water and then fill it with fresh water. If that doesn't work, then try this: unplug it, remove cover, inside you will see sensor (it sticks up a little with a silver metal on top) touch the sensor with your finger. For some reason this works. I think the sensor gets stuck "thinking" the water level is low, so the unit doesn't go on.

I would also try following the descaling recommendations in the manual, then run several tubs of just water through it. Mine doesn't have this issue, but I did run plain water through it before I used it the first time. Hope you figure it out!

Excellent question! Yes, I do have the problem also. I take it a more sunnier place, tilted it, and shake it. Then I can see the water level. I have often wondered why there is not a clear place to indicate water level. Go Fig. :) Mr Hilgendorf, If you find a better solution to this issue, please let the rest of us know.

I actually purchased the pump for the same reason! While plugged in, the pump doesn't engage until about an inch and a half of water is surrounding the pump. Once it does, it reduced the water level to less than half an inch.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

Iam on a well system, water was checked before i installed this system, all my readings were satisfactory at that time, The filter system was really old so i just updated to this system.i have not checked the water now.

I have the same problem. There is a design flaw, get a sharp pointed knife or something and move the drain hole line inside the water resorvoir. The water is not draining into the lower part. I am going to ask to get mine replaced. I see at least one other person has had the same problem

Mine does have a tiny amount of water remaining but not nearly as much as you have. I don't know if that mean there is something wrong. Perhaps try it running on the intermittent timer compare it to running it continuous.

I just added directly to the water. I loved mine, until it died about 3 months after getting it. Don't know what happened. Total bummer!

My aquabot never has issues unless the bag is filled with dirt/leaves.... Check the settings, maybe your timer is set too long? So it runs forward for longer than the timer is set for? Strange... I would call the company.

In addition to Connie's answer, the water will dissipate if you are gone more than a day or so. I have to fill ours up ( no coffee) a time or two to get the water back to the level it's supposed to be.

I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer. Have you tried running the boost cycle to address the green? I haven't added any chemicals other than the salt all season & my water is crystal clear! I run the boost about once a week (after heavy rain or heavy usage) My pool is small 14' so I am sure that is a factor if you have a larger pool. I have read about people getting the too much salt issue. Usually emptying a little usually does the trick. But if it continues I would contact the company. It may be an issue with the system (which I have heard too) They do honor their warantee, but are very slow. Good Luck I haven't had one issue with my pool all summer.

Don't know. That hasn't been my experience. Has your water gotten harder with more minerals or sediment in it?

check water levels in reservoir. mine always works just fine till it runs out of water.
