    Instapark Betta review

    After the light sequencing at startup, it appears to start. Red props spin less than a minute, then nothing. It would shut down before it could be lowered into the water. Had that a couple of times so ran the start up with the lid open. Again, after light sequence, the the paddle wheel would...

    Instapark Betta review

    I purchased the Betta Aug 2021. It has worked well for us, and replaced my Solar Breeze that died after a year. We’ve experienced some of the same issues noted in the previous threads, like Betta not being able to break free of the M600 cleaner line, sometimes getting stuck at an inside corner...

    Overhang of Travertine around Raised beam

    Hello, I wanted the overhang in back because I thought the top looked more finished and uniform. We didnt wrap the stone around the back because the area behind cant’t be seen from any sitting area. We hang the pool brushes and nets. We also can keep the robot controller behind the wall.

    Not understanding the lure of robotic cleaners..

    All I have to add is, what do I do now? We’ve got SWG, robot cleaner and my NX2 robot skimmer just died. On the Ariel list but that’s taking forever. I can’t imagine getting in a pool that’s been hand skimmed. 🤣😂 this may be the end of the season for me and I’m in Arizona.

    Tanning ledge too deep at 15"?

    Mine is also 15”, by design. My preference is to be in the water even if I’m on the lounger. My kids are grown, but I also thought about being able to sit with grand kids who are playing in what is less than the shallow end, but more than the bath tub 😄pic shows with chaise and water is in the seat.

    Backyard Shed Size/location?

    We’re just into our second year. Takes a bit to recover from the build costs before beginning the enhancements 😄We purchased a 10x20 shed to use as a pool house. That was the largest we could go without having to get a permit. We are using it primarily to have a place for the grand kids to get...

    Rockys 5A Cover

    I was looking at this thread because I was looking at purchasing the Rocky reel hoping it would be more sturdy than the one we have. We currently have the Vingli that was rated as best on Amazon. We completed our pool build last Feb in Arizona and bought a solar cover to help retain heat. The...

    Am I being too picky?

    Make lemonade. Tell the guests the narrower end is the kid seat. 🤗 only you will know it was a mistake and not the plan. Everyone will be happy to have the pool/spa.

    Modern Coping Ideas Please!

    We’re in AZ and went with travertine for coping and deck. Full sun from 9am and has gotten up to 113 so far this summer. the travertine used for the coping is light and does get hot, but I can touch it, walk to get flip flops I’ve left on the other side and sit on the edge, especially after...

    Surface cleaner device

    I have Solar Brreze too, just purchased and love it. Cleared surface of all bugs(flys/bees) and Petals from our ironwood trees and anything else that doesn’t sink to the bottom. Works well here in AZ, Runs on solar power.

    Solar Breeze ?

    Haha, far from it with this pool stuff. They’re due to be delivered Monday. I’ll definitely provide an update.

    Solar Breeze ?

    Received my NX2 today and immediately placed it into the pool. I am happy day 1 and will be happy if I get 3 years. I did purchase a 3yr warranty. We get a lot of bugs that fly in for a dip and don’t make it out, so they become floaters, which I hate. I like that the NX2 floats everywhere and...

    New Maytronics Dolphin M600

    I’ve had m600 for about 4 months now and love it. We named her Hazel and I swear she’s learning. One day we went out and found her on the Baja shelf and it has become a more regular occurrence. Our shelf is deep, 16 inches, and we’ve even seen her try to do the waterline tile on the shelf. ?

    Solar Breeze for ultra fine particles and ducks?

    This thread was very timely for me. I was looking for something to clean the water surface. I’m in AZ and don’t have issues with leaves but some pollen and bugs galore. I am also OCD about our pool water, plus I think if I get any water in my mouth for whatever reason, horseplaying, there’ll be...
