    Robot Trouble

    I echo your robot frustration. How is your sand shark working out? When I built my pool - I plumbed for a pressure side cleaning system. At this point - I am ready to move away from robots altogether. Admittedly nieve of me considering I have no experience with any other type of cleaning system...

    Is there a cleaner that lasts???

    I did the same thing. I’m on cleaner number two in 7 years. Bought the warrior se last year. It’s starting to have problems now. I’m so frustrated with these cleaners. I’m willing to entertain other options.

    M400 worth the money?

    I just google shopped outlets until I came across these. The skimmer lids pop up easily with a flat head screw driver or if you push down on the right side. I ended up not using the glow tile because the plaster we went with is so nice looking and I wanted the more "less is more" modern look...

    More pics: I am going to build a deck/walkway behind the wall. Undecided as to what kind....flagstone, more travertine...feel free to make suggestions or give me ideas.
