Finally finished reading all the posts. Have had Aquabots since pool was built in 1985. Had gone through about 6 or so. Using Aquabot Turbo (have always used the top of the line Aquabot) with 4 year warantee. Have always thrown it in the pool, it climbs the walls with every pass and only...

OK..........I know I will get some grief, but......... I am a lazy person. I dump pucks in the pool about every 2 weeks. I take the water to the pool store whenever it gets cloudy (about 2 times a year). I had the house built in 1984 and the pool in 1985. I have replaced the filler (DE)...

My Aquabot does great with everything, including leaves.

Any of the Aquabots will a very good bang for your buck.

FL is one of the cheapest states for weekly pool maint. You could get someone for $60-75 per month including chems.

NJ: pucks FL: SWG

Aquabot or Dolphin. Which ever one you can get serviced locally.

The fill around my Foxx pool was the dirt they dug out. There has been settling over the first 5 years but we just put gravel and a couple times, concrete in the holes. The concrete walkway never moved or cracked.

Did not even know that Fox was still around....:-) Put in a Fox 27 years ago......back filled 2 days after assembly and poured concrete one week later. It is the only concrete left on the property. Replaced all with pavers and the concrete around the pool does not even have any cracks. Go...

Never had the JR. Had 4 of the regular ones including 3 turbo's and have been the best time saver ever. Except for the weekly pool service in FL.....:-)

Sorry.....the spa. Put the heater on for the pool to see if it would move.....Jan.... 1 or 2 hours...did not increase 1 degree.....:-)

In my limited opinion, 6' (which I own) will definitely be crowded with 4 people. I would go 8' and feel much better. I have had 3 guys in the spa and it's not bad but the step into the spa takes up the room for a fourth person.

Took me about the same time last week to heat the spa from 68 - 104. I kidded with my pool guy that to heat the pool would take until April. Since I had some time and as my wife said, "some extra money", I turned the spa off and the pool water was 68 and I turned the HP on for the pool. I ran...

I have a Meyco. Pool built in '84. Rains/snows every year. Never drain or do anything. Open in the Spring.....usually pump water out while vacuuming and add chemicals and have never had any algae or anything more than some silt in the bottom.

Unless you are under screen........lanai............you will need a cleaner.........skimmer type or robotic.
