Polaris Zodiac Pool Robot Swivel Cable Repair (R0726700) 

Thanks for the video. I was getting Error 10 occasionally and then eventually it would just say Error 10 all of the time and the robot would not work. I took the swivel a part and found a bit of corrosion that was connecting two of the round circle circuitry. Brushed the corrosion away and that fixed my issue. Now my robot is fully functional and saved me from buying a $500 replacement cable. Thanks again!

Большое спасибо. Купил первую линейку Polaris, отработал 5 лет. Никаких проблем. Сломался провод. Разобрал его, все детали были залиты в плотный пластик, разбору не подлежал. Купил новый провод, он отработал всего год и появились проблемы, error 10. Думал покупать новый, но спасибо Вашему видео, разобрал и отремонтировал. Сейчас на Polaris, заменил все пластиковые детали, колеса, шестеренки, все продается на Amazon, недорого, пришлось купить новый мотор 560 долларов, сэкономил деньги на проводе, благодаря Вам. Еще раз большое спасибо.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I followed all the steps and my unit is now functioning. It was fun downloading the files and sending them off to have the board made. It was a very rewarding experience.

This was helpful, though the only mis-step (apart from pulling the wires out of the swivel) is trying to grip the threaded plastic to remove the nut. If you look at the other end of the swivel, you will see the internal sleeve also has two indents that you can use to hold with the long nose pliers to screw or unscrew the nut... Thanks for sharing your experience - turned out my cable is fine, so now looking at the motor board, as there appears to have been some small water ingress.

Great Video Thank You. I just ordered the PCB and the process was super simple.

A hero among men

Wonderful video. You are really skilled at repair work and your video was very clear. Thank you so much

Love your work great job I am going to try it on a dolphin cleaner

Is the swivel really necessary? In reality couldn't I just wire it together inside the swivel housing and make the swivel stationary? Mine gives an error 10 code on the power supply when not plugged into or connected to the cleaner, is that because it isn't making a full loop connection?

Hi my name is Alex thanks your video is very good . I have slightly newer vrx iq plus Polaris 4WD when I open my swivel it is different construction than your model one side is a pin connector like older head-cellphones and other side is the hole so it like mother and father connectors so it doesn’t have that part (round plate) is you replace and it was wett inside also I am dried out and then I decided to check wires with multimeter since this unit 4WD it has 2 plugs to motor I thought the test inch plug off 3 wires individually all 3 wires have good test no breaks on them ,but the second plug has nothing in all three wires.The question is something wrong with this second plug which three wires it has zero reading assuming I do that test on the shorter part of the unit because I removed this pin from swivel whit rest of the larger parts of cable?Thanks Alex

Thank you for the video. What should the electrical meter checks be? I checked continuity for the three wires with the corresponding spot on the back side of the PCB. It showed continuity no matter which wire and back location selected. Is this correct? My PCB wasn't the reason for the disassymbly, it was the wire insulation seperated at the junction entering the robot. I had to put a heat shrinking sleeve over it. Thanks

Bonjour Kevin , j'habite en France et j'ai un robot Zodiac ,Mon Probleme c'est le swivel qui prend l'eau, j'ai fait une tentative pour le réparer mais ca na pas fonctionné et a force de le demonter plusieur fois la il faut le remplacer. est ce que toi tu saurais sin on peut trouver un revendeur ou une personne qui vend des swivel neuf. un grand merci a toi.

Oh man, after watching 8 videos of people disassembling every part but what I needed, I finally found you. Thank you so much. Is your new site for the pcbs up? I need to purchase one for my campground.

Great video thank you! Do you know a company I can send the file to to make the slip ring PCB? Also I noticed my pins corroded, any company you might recommend to buy the pins(connectors) from?

All looks back to front using the 'selfie' setting on the phone?

Thank you so much. I have maybe a stupid question: is that swivel really necessairy ? I'm just curious how long it will become tangled.

Many thanks

First thanks for the video. I open the unit and noticed it was wet. It seems like they changed the design. I have a slight different design. My question what is the best thing to use to seal the unit and prevent water from going through

Great video, thank you! Question: how did you know it was the PCB that was the problem?

Is it worthwhile replacing the swivel seal,A -18-30-7F, otherwise continued water ingress will continue to cause problems ?

Any chance you still have any of these chips left?

Hi, I am trying to follow your instructions and using oshpark to order the board using your Github zip. They are saying it is missing hte silk screen layer file? Any ideas? Thanks again for all this help!

It's only been a month did you already sell out of the PCB? :( Also one of my pogo pins isnt springing back out....any Idea where to get a replacement for that? Good video btw. I took apart the whole thing and put it back together now it seems to be working. Only part I didn't take apart was the part behind the PCB.

Hi Kevin, do you have spare pub available?

Did you make the PCB yourself?

get closer to the mike can't hear you
