Background: Plaster (PebbleFina) was installed when it was 112F outside and not filled with water fast enough. Day one it looked terrible. I immediately contacted the contractor who said it's normal and will even out. This never happened. Spa developed cracks. Again was told this was normal...

Based on the many glowing reviews here and other websites about the robotic cleaners, I purchased a Maytronics Dolphin Explorer e30 about 6 months ago. It only goes in the pool when I'm using it, and I clean it every time it's used. It's been working great until the recent Santa Ana winds. For...
