Brand new pool: To vac or not to bot vac... that is my question

[Lis010]

Hi all!!!

Thank you all who have been so helpful with advice and suggestions. You are all wonderful!!!

As a brand new IG pebble pool and spa owner, I have many questions.
How long should you wait before using the robot vac??? I’ve been told different time frames and don’t know which to go by.
Any help appreciated!!!
Thanks.

30 days is the standard time. Until then you can and should use a manual vac without wheels. I think every pool should have a manual vac as you never know when you want to do a spot clean.

hmmm....if that will fit my Kreepy hose, it would be highly valuable for vacuuming the spa....

Thanks for the pointout Kim!
