$500 bucks really isn't bad considering the headache of dealing with metals in the water. This may be worth the consideration for well users.

Sequestrant needs to be continually added in order for it to do its job. Unfortunately it's like a revolving door which is why it's better to take preventative measures to try to ensure metals don't get into your pool. I'm sure the experts will be a long to help you with your other issues...

Kind of good news I guess. I think I am going to take up some pavers I have on the front and side of the house to add another 3 or 4 feet on the 35' side. Supposedly the inspector doesn't measure down to the exact sq. ft. so I should be good to go. Apparently this is a new issue that has been...

Found out today I am good to go with 3 feet all the way around and a VERY small path from the house to the pool. Still no deck for lounging :scratch:. I may have to see where I could gain some surface area for atleast a 10x10 deck.

The S300i and 30i are the same. If you can get a Active 30i they are the exact same robot.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I was told I can go through some type of appeals process where I have to let all of the neighbors know within a certain distance of my house and then go to some type of hearing or something for an exception. It sounds like a long and drawn out process...

I'm still waiting to hear back from the PB but as of right now it doesn't sound like it. What has been suggested to me is take up some of my "impervious surface" that I already have to make room for the future impervious surface that will go down once the pool is installed.

Just wanted to update and ask a question. My permits are pretty much done, but I think I'm going to wait until Aprilish to do the install. I found out that there are impervious surface restrictions. In other words, I may not be able to have any decking, and 3 feet around the pool may be a...

Looks great, enjoy!

I'm back on the fence regarding the issue...I just got off of the phone with Hayward and there is a lot of other items that need to be purchased besides the actual automation. As a matter of fact all of their automation devices need to have a separate antenna purchased in order to use them...

I totally understand where you're coming from. There are no simple solutions for the bells and whistles. I just found out with Hayward along with the automation system, an antenna, and also another system for remote connectivity (depending on the system) is needed. Then depending what you are...

I'm going to subscribe here as I pretty much need some of the same questions answered. Hopefully someone will chime in soon.

Thanks for your reply...I am seeing that automation really isn't a necessity, but it makes having a pool much more convenient and easier. I have been pretty much convinced I want to go with some type of automation, but all of the options and specs seem to be very confusing and it's hard to get...

I am still very much on the fence after reading your post, although Patrick almost had me convinced, lol. It may come down to whether I value convenience or another tangible item more. This seems pretty cool although I'm not sure how easy it would be to sync with the pool equipment. I know...

Glad to hear your build is going well Jamie...you're getting some great advice. I've learned a lot from your build.
