Thanks for everyone's input!

I am a first pool owner and I just bought a dolphin M5. I clean it one day and the next day the bottom has dust and sand at the bottom. It says you can leave it just sitting in the pool and set it to run during the day for at least three days in a row. Do a lot of people tend to do that? I just...

I spoke to a mason and he recommended using large brick shaped natural stone and then mortaring them in place and then attaching a limestone cap to the top. The spa is currently cemented into my stamped concrete patio. I was told the stone I plan on using around the spa should weigh 2,00 pounds...

I've been doing research on these cleaners and my head is spinning. They all sound the same! My pool guy is recommending the Dolphin Supreme M500 for $1,1000. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! I hate having to think about this stuff but I have no idea what I'm doing and I want to make sure it gets done correctly the first time as I'm sure the mason will be hard to track down once I pay him!

Here are some pictures of my set up. The swim ledge is about 8" deep.

I'm guessing the swim ledge has about 10" of water over but I will measure when I get home. I'm attaching a picture of the pool, I'll try to add some other ones when I get home. It's hard to see from this picture but the ledge is directly across from the spa. But there's a chance I might need...

We built our pool last year with a spill over spa. The only thing we were not able to accomplish was getting the masonry work done to apply stone around the outside of the spa. We met with one mason who said he could do it but he seemed unsure about how to do the job properly. With all the...

I have a 36 x 20 inground vinyl pool with a swim ledge, with a eight person spillover spa next to the pool. The deepest part of the pool is 6 feet. I am looking for recommendations on a robot cleaner that will be able to clean the walls, the top of the swim ledge, stairs and be able to clean...

Ok, thanks!

From what I understand, there is a valve that allows me to choose what gets heated, the pool or the spa.

The spa itself holds 288 gallons and the heat pump can get up to 125,000 BTUs. The actual pool pump is a 2 hp pump. Hope that helps! I just talked to the pool guy, the option he was talking about is to add a smaller natural gas heater and an additional pump for the spa itself so it can be...

I don't know, but I will find these answers out! Thanks again everybody for your responses!

So I am back again… Our spa has not been installed as of yet. Apparently, we have the option of allowing the spa to be standalone spa, meaning having its own filter and I'm guessing heat pump, keep in mind that I'm a complete newbie, and I also am getting this information secondhand from my...

Thank you everyone for their advice! As of last night the pool builder and ourselves came up with a compromise. We are going to go ahead and install the spillover spa. A standalone spa was never really an option for us. Thank you for the quick advice, I'm sure as a new poll owner I will have...

Thank you so much for all of your input. I really appreciate it!!! We have spent the last two hours driving around looking at concrete options for the pool. Like I said, we are complete newbies I have no idea if a heat pump would be able to get our spa to that heat, our pool guy is saying no...

I hate to join a forum and then post with an urgent title, but I'm in a little bit of a pickle. My wife and I are having our pool installed and have zero pool experience. Our original plan was to get a 18 x 36 vinyl pool (Gemini model listed...
