Does anyone know if a gunite shell could be blown into the existing shell? It would be a somewhat smaller pool but it is already huge.

Beautiful. Love the deck.

Than you Red-beard. I have been shopping online for the tuneup kit. I will check eBay. Thanks for the information.

Thank you for the input Jimrahbe and Joyfulnoise.

The whole point of this post was for people to weigh in about the longevity of robots vs PS Polaris cleaners. I don’t see anyone posting about a robotic cleaner lasting as long as my 280. I will stick with the Polaris. I run it for just 1 hour a day on my automation system. It cleaned...

I also hate the idea of looking out over my travertine patio and seeing an electrical cable strung across it. Thanks again?

I also hate the idea of removing it all the time. I am going to check out the 3900. Thanks for the tip. best regards, david

Thank you Sdor. That is very helpful to know.

JoyfulNoise, Thank you for the response. I was hoping more people would weigh in with their experience since so many people here promote robots. I think I will stick with a known and replace my Polaris 280 since it lasted 9 years. It served me very well and did an awesome job cleaning my pool...

Welcome to the forum. If you are set on a fiberglass pool you should know that the installation is critical and should only be performed by a very competent business. Preferably one that does not hire subcontractors but instead employs its own people. Make sure to perform due diligence in...

I know everyone here loves their robot but I am curious as to the longevity and overall cost of ownership of a robot cleaner. My Polaris 280 has served me faithfully for 9 years. It stays in the pool 24x7x365. It is only removed to swim. Given that, it is giving me issues. at the very least it...

I have read you should put them in the pool at various points of entry while you are in the pool and help guide them to the exit.

Looks just like my Yorkie but mine hates the pool...... and anything that moves. ?

I bought this a few months ago At Sam’s club. Works great on flies. Wasps not so much. It takes a couple of close range shots to nail those suckers. Bug-a-Salt. A shotgun that shoots table salt.

I am going to guess 36x20 feet 9 foot deep end, 4 foot shallow, for avg depth of 6.5 equals 35000 gallons.

Mine is 8 years old. I purchase a refill kit every spring when they go on sale. Get the speedstir and the aluminum measuring tool. It makes testing go much faster. I also keep my pool open year round. When I first got on this forum I tested every day. After a year my testing slowed way down. I...

Welcome!

I have found that people like this are never happy. They will always find something to complain about. if you are not breaking the bylaws of your association they have nothing to complain about. Personally I would tell them they could spend the afternoon at AA meetings instead of drinking or...

You will get speed! It is much quicker and more accurate.

I purchased mine online a couple of years ago. It stated it had a full warranty which was one year. I have already passed that point. Save as much money as you can and get it online from an authorized dealer.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am going to rebuild mine this year. Your post makes me more confident. I guess I should not have dreaded it. I rebuilt my pump head and and installed a new motor on it a few months ago. It was a LOT easier than I thought it would be. Is this the first time you...

Also check with your home insurer. When we built our pool we were informed our home owners insurance would be cancelled if we installed a diving board or slide.

You can also use Google which is what I do. Just type site:troublefreepool.com followed by the search query In the search box. Example site:troublefreepool.com polaris falls on its side.

And good luck. Hoping for the best so you don‘t miss the swim season.

Keep your pool balanced year round to avoid this issue. It will pay off in spades for your equipment and plaster.

Same problem here. Just ordered a backup valve and pool head float. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum! Read, learn, and relax.

I am so jealous. I love perch. We dont get them often here in southern Louisiana but they are my favorite. We have plenty of speckled trout though. It is a close second.

I leave mine in year round. When it gets cold it will not work as well as the hose gets stiff and it cannot reach as far as when it is warm. I just run it less. As long as you keep your water balanced year-round you should not have a problem. mine is seven years old and has never been rebuilt...
