    Thanks for all the help. I knew TFP members would be helpful. I ended up going to Leslies and bought the Dolphin Deluxe 3. The only Dolphin robots they had in stock were the Deluxe 3 and Deluxe 4. I chose the Deluxe 3 because it was on sale from 699 to $499. Also the Deluxe 3 doesn't clean...

    Looking for new pool cleaner

    Would you recommend the M-5 or would you get a different one if you had to do it over again? Do you see any problem with the M-5 getting tangled up on the tanning ledge?

    Landscape Lighting

    For a shrub I would use a flood light under the front of the shrub pointing up at the shrub. You would only need low wattage such as a 20w halogen or led equivalent. If you look at home depot there are low voltage lighting packages that have everything you would need.

    Ok, I am now a TFP Lifetime Supporter! Just waiting on on the plaque to go under my user ID. I asked the pool builder to include two bubblers in the tanning ledge on the back of the pool. He said the 1' depth may be too deep for the bubblers to push the water up much above the surface. Does...
