    Not understanding the lure of robotic cleaners..

    For the price point robotics do not seem to be worth it. $700 plus and you are lucky to get a couple trouble free years out of them from everything I have read. Maybe it's the cool factor of having new technology clean your pool, but they just don't seem to be there yet and worth of the cost...

    How can robotic cleaners clean better than auto vacuums that are connected to suction line?

    How would you light a sundeck on pool already done.

    Pool has 3 Hayward led lights but my 8x8 sundeck is dark at night and needs lighting….Any ideas? Is the only way to go under pavers and through pool shell? Picking up pavers shouldn't be a problem, but I'm not sure about drilling through shell…Any other options?

    New pool and something went wrong today while applying Stonescapes! Crews need to start over!

    Having Stonescape installed I was aware of the different phases of the build, however. Mini Stonescapes was being applied today and next thing I see is crews chipping 2 inches away under the tile at the waterline, around all fixtures, and around tile on steps. The sundeck had a 2sq' section...
