My pool would be a disaster if I only ran the robot once a month. Too much plant debris and dust/dirt. Although maybe being to devote more of the flow to the skimmer would catch more of it before it sank.
When I did have a robot, I would need to run it weekly.
Yeah I think once per week would be the minimum for my pool as well. But even that would be welcome. I'd throw the robot in on a Friday night, let it run a long clean cycle and then pull it out Sat morning. That would definitely use less power than running the pump at higher speed to make the suction cleaner run all the time.
Sadly, at roughly $1200 bucks for a robot, that's a bit far down on the list for me.
