Question: Is there a recommendation for a good suction side cleaner that climbs and scrubs walls? Backstory: We're moving into the third season of our fiberglass pool and loving it. We run the pool year round here in Southern Utah. Season one there was a lot of construction going on around us...

I think hosing it down an storing in a shed are good practices. Our pool is open year round, so it's either in the pool or on the stand in the sun. Still works great, just looks hammered.

No I do not believe there is any logic as far as mapping the floor and cleaning in a pattern. At least, it's not like my roomba. It seems to go randomly as far as I can tell, but that randomness is pretty thorough. I haven't been disappointed in the results.

I've had the IQ+ for a year now. It looks like it's 10 years old! The decals and labeling has mostly been eroded off, probably from the salt in the pool. Despite its looks, it is a great performer and I'm quite happy with it. It doesn't get run every day, but the days I do run it, it stays in...

I think it all boils down to the available space, your intended use for the pool, decking and surrounding area, etc. We just installed a 14’x30’ fiberglass pool an I’d say it is on the smaller end of the medium size for a pool. I doesn’t feel too small for us, and it fills the available space...

Would appreciate any tips or pointers you might have with the CH test. I recently realized I had been recoding my results incorrectly, as I experience a fading endpoint where the sample turns purple before it becomes blue. My concern is that it should never become purple and should always go...

Curious for those using the ultra-fine filter if your robot is like mine and can’t swim up and do the waterline tile any longer. It can do the lower part of the walls, but with the ultra-fine filter it doesn’t seem to get enough propulsion to swim up. Same fo the lift out feature, I have to...

I ordered one online from Leslies since I had a credit/points from purchase of the robot. The difference in cleaning is very noticable, the ultra fine is picking up so much fine dirt from my pool that it gets too heavy for robot to swim up to the top to lift it out! We've had terrible wind the...

Ahh yes indeed. The critters like the water. I pulled a sizable camel spider out of the skimmer the other day. Bloated of course, it was gross! Thanks for the advise on the backswimmer. I’m reading some old threads about them now. Amazing these little guys.

New pool, been working to balance everything out, so clean and beautiful. I read the forum every day and everyone is having so much fun taking care of their pool, and here this morning I was a bit jealous that I have nothing to do because my pool is so pretty. Then my wife gets in for a swim...

I’ve enjoyed watching this come together. Thank you for sharing the photos and progress along the way. Excited for you to get in the water soon!
