I am a forum reader, this is my first post.
I just had my inground pool remodeled with new PebbleSheen, tile coping and drain.
My question is about the pool cleaner, here is my situation.
before the remodel I bought a Kreepy Krawly (cheap and easy) and used it to do light pool cleaning. I do get medium sized leaves in the pool and it would not touch those so I had to remove them. It would also get clogged once in awhile maybe due to the Oak leave or acorn.
So now my dilemma, with the new pool I have a choice to have a dedicated suction or pressure line (I am not interested in a booster pump). So which way do I go.
My PB wants me to get a Kreepy Krawly Legend II to work off my main pump with dedicated pressure line. I am told by a friend that runs a pool cleaning business I should get a robot (TigerShark) that will take care of leaves and all and brush the PebbleSheen finish to avoid algae.
My priorities in order are
1. energy efficiency (I just put in solar electric and an intelliflow pump)
2. get the pool clean, including leaves
3. ongoing maintenance costs
4. price
I appreciate suggestions and your reasons why you like what you suggest
My pool is a geometric shape (kinda like a diamond) and 16x35 with a 6ft deep end.
