Sorry 'bout late posting but still current today 2/27/22...Joe Nov. 2020 was this cleaner purchase and, eight months later, I had to replace its four tires as it could no longer clear the raised drain cover. The way the tire wear marks are wearing, maybe replacement tires will happen next...

Nov. 2020 was the purchase and, eight months later, I had to replace its four tires as it could no longer bypass the raised drain cover. The way the tire wear marks are wearing, looks like next month will be its next set of rubber (8-mos). Mine's a plaster pool, kidney shaped with the sloping...

Yeow! SW desert temps snuck up on us, again, with sudden temps 100+ºƒ. Combined with solar cover made pool temps a very nice 87ºƒ. Had to add MA (acid) to take TA from 180 to 80 and now aerating for high pH 8.0 down to 7.4. All other chems within limits. Question is how long to aerate...

After replastering pool seven years ago in this southwestern desert town, noticed an insidious, yellowing "bleed-through" this past year which is totally erasing all my bright white, relatively new marbleite. Something is taking over the entire smooth surface with no change in texture, like...
