So I have given up on the old Aquabot Supreme after a couple repair attempts, she just keeps spinning in a large circle and I do not want to dump any more money into her (Sally). I spoke to Marina Pools in CO and I am between the M400 or the S300i. My pool is 40 feet long, 20 feet wide in...

Ok so we just opened up for the season last week. When I went to put the Aquabot in I noticed some damage to the side plate where the rollers sit and attach to the body by 4 metal screws (plastic rods/axles broke), so the belts had no tension on them, belts also were missing a few teeth. I...

Going to be installing a 20 foot by 40 foot free form mountain lake type pool. The pool company wants $4600 for a solid safety cover installed. I am pretty sure I can do it myself for about half or less? Has anyone installed their own mesh or solid safety covers with any tips or ideas? Also...

I thought about doing the DIY and subing out everything but with a third child on the way and work I do not think I will have the time or patience to do it myself. So I have been getting quotes from local pool builders. Here is my most recent from a pretty well respected family company here in...
