Hello,
Just moved into a home in Phoenix AZ which has a pool. I've never owned a pool before, so I'm brand new to all this. Lots to learn!
As a starting point, I was hoping to get a recommendation on a robot vacuum. The current pool has a Pentair Rebel vacuum on its own dedicated vacuum line. There is a Hayward canister on the line that is used for collecting leaves, etc.
I'd like to replace the vacuum because it stopped working soon after I purchased the home. There's something off about the internal components and I cannot figure out the problem even after taking it apart several times. I think it was purchased several years ago. It's also covered in mold and two sections of the vacuum line have broken apart when disconnecting the Hayward canister to empty the components, so I'm thinking I should probably get a fresh start on this as well.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable robot vacuum that could be connected to a dedicated vacuum line? I'll try to answer spec questions below, though my apologies in advance as I'm not certain about all the components. I don't have an unlimited budget, but also don't want to deal with an inefficient or poorly functional vacuum. Just something simple that will reliably get the job done -- if this even exists!
Thank you so much in advance for the help.

- Pool size: ~15,000 gallons. It's an oblong curved shape.
- In-ground pool
- Pool lining: I'm not sure about this?
- Filter type: I think it may be sand, though I'm not sure.
- Pump: Pentair variable speed
- Other components: dedicated vacuum line.
- Pool test kit: purchased AquaChek 7-way kit
- No water restrictions from what I can tell.
Thank you so much in advance for the help.
