Thank you

Moved from here. I currently have a Pentair 920 robot. I know it goes by a bunch of different names and is made by other companies as well. My question is… Are there any pool robots that have brushes and will save me from having to brush the plaster by hand?

I use 2 nice wired outdoor speakers on my patio. JBL I think. Old Apple TV has optical audio out. Converted that to RCA and into my receiver. iPhone can control all audio now from the pool. Including volume. Only issue is surfing the web...auto play videos can be a pain. I suppose I could use a...

Obviously everyone will have a slightly different experience. If I don’t run mine in the spring and fall, I have at least 20 minutes of skimming to do when I get home. And then again every couple hours. Lots of tree debris, especially from the elms. In the spring the tree blooms stick to the...

I’m on year 3 of the NX2. Love it. I’ve had to modify it a bit to keep from getting stuck under ledges/skimmers and it requires the pool level to be just right. The pvc pipes do the trick, but it took some trial and error. I will be happy to get 3 seasons out of it. I have LOTS of trees that put...

No but I will be sure to tell them not to change anything without discussing with me first.

Nope. Can the pool company do it from the panel?

Ok call BS lol. I’m just trying to help here and possibly help someone avoid damage. All I can tell you is that I have a very experienced pool builder who sent out his best tech people and it took them two visits and phone calls to the Pentair people to figure out why my freeze protect was not...

I’ve got the Pentair Intellitouch. Freeze protect mode worked fine for 2 years, then wasn’t working this spring. It would previously move the valve between the waterfall and the pool circulation every 15 minutes when the air temperature was below 36. After much trouble shooting and having the...

I'd like to leave a kreepy crawly prowler in the water (I slipped it under the cover) for a few weeks until the leaves are down. Any reason not to do this?
