Currently have a Pentair Prowler 920. The blue power cord is peeling off and filling my pool skimmers with tiny blue rubber pieces - this seems to be a common issue. How do I determine which replacement cord I need? There are various cords available on Amazon and elsewhere that look just like mine however none of them likes Prowler 920 compatibility. How can I determine the actual part number of my cord?

Two additional questions:
1. The power supply I have has bluetooth - can I utilize the power cord from the 930 and add wife/bluetooth compatibility to my robot so I can remotely initiate cleaning? I've read the 920 power cord is 2 pins while the 930 is 3 pins?
2. Is there anyway to determine (or estimate) the remaining life on my 920? The robot came with the house we purchased and we don't know it's start year - the tracks have yellowed if that is any indication. If a new (authentic) cord is a few hundred maybe it's worth buying a new robot that provides the remote cleaning initiation I'm looking for (should proceeding item #1 above not be possible).
 
No,

Marina Pool and Spa has a section on Maytronics repair parts..

It allows you to look up your robot model and then shows a parts breakdown for that model..

You can get the specific P/N for the cable, and use it to buy elsewhere, or just buy it from Marina.

Thanks,

No,

All the robots I have seen have the same 3-pin connector, whether they have the remote features or not..

I just put a 3-wire cable on an S200, which originally had the 2-wire cable, as I wanted to see if it would tangle less.

I don't believe just adding the right cable will give you the remote capabilities you are looking for, but I have been wrong many times before.. :mrgreen:

The 2-wire cable is about $150 and 3-wire is about $200.

Thanks,
