I am looking to add a large IceCap Pro Turf Scrubber. The inside of my stand has 32" of space. The scrubber is 21" tall itself. Anyone have the large version and can tell me how much clearance is needed to remove the screen to service it?

I have the small version - you should be fine, the mesh screen is super flexible so you don't need much clearance at all to remove it.

also quick tip - sand the screen first with coarse sandpaper, it makes it easier to get algae established when starting.

I had read that. I planned on it. I am not sure if I am going to get v1 or v2. I can get v1 for almost $100 less than v2.

Get the v2. The lid has a seperste section from the led panels so condensation won’t leak over the section of the led panels.

I love mine!

I am trying to decide between the IceCap or a Santa Monica ATS now.
