Please help:Pre-plumbing for pressure side cleaner or not?

[antoniosp]

I am getting close to signing a contract with a PB, which is offering as part of standard package pre-plumbing for pressure side cleaner. Based on everything I've read I am leaning towards having a robot cleaner (aquabot 4WD, or dolphin 5). My question is should I ask PB not to do the pre-pluming and give me credit (I think around $200) or should I let him do it in case later on I decide to use pressure side cleaner, even though it seems not needed/unlikely to me at this point?

Thanks.

I would do it just to have that extra return in the pool. It's pressure side so, even if you don't use it with its own pump as a cleaner you could plumb it in as an extra return for One of those pool skimmers that's run off your return line."poolskim.com"

I'd do it. Who knows what new technology they'll have in ten years? And you'll already have a pipe nicely embedded in the pool wall and up through the deck to the equipment pad.

thanks for the quick response, sounds like I will ask him to install, can't hurt I will post full bid and project details once I sign contract and work is to start.
