2nd year robot is having issues. The power supply lights look ok. The light on the robot itself illuminates. It just won't move then shuts itself off after a few minutes of trying. It doesn't look like a power supply or power cord issue which has me focused on the motor assembly. I did have...

With the vast majority of the CA population living near the coast transport costs shouldn't be a showstopper. The water provided by a desalination plant in Huntington could supply the local market, and they could stop importing water or import less ( i.e. LA aquaduct). I know the Owens Valley...

Looks great. Almost makes me wish I had gone with onyx instead of cobalt. I like the cobalt color, but it seems like they have trouble applying it without alot of blotches and streaks. Yours looks great!

My Sunstone Select (Ansylbrite) Cobalt plaster job turned out just like the pictures above. I hoped it would get better over time, but it didn't. It's not terrible but certainly not what I expected from a brand new plaster job. The blemishes are really only noticeable on a cloudy day or in the...

Does it look like this? Here's my 1 year old pool with little "sea salt" looking crystals after opening. Brushing seems to be working, and my robot has picked up a ton of them. I think you're right on it being calcium crystals. Hopefully just a new plaster issue.

They're supposed to, but I don't actually light them that often. I also have a dynatrap, so it's hard to say what's doing what. Haven't noticed many mosquitoes at all this year though

This will be the greatest day of your pool ownership life. Once we were able to start using our SWCG it made TFPC almost too easy.

2020-2021 was our build year, so alot of one-time expenses. Next year we'll work toward fulfilling our vision around the pool. Top of my list is to add a gazebo/outdoor living space similar to the one below. I plan on getting started early spring so it's all set up by the time we start...

That made me sad

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbor's loss. That's terrible. I think it's great that you're doing what you can for his property while he's dealing with so much more. Best of luck to you. I hope your power is restored sooner than expected.
