Good afternoon everyone. We are in the beginning stages of our build and have decided to remove the Polaris 280 the PB was including and buying a robot most likely from Mariana. Our PB mentioned we can still go ahead and have the pool plumbed for a pressure cleaner but I am curious if there would be any reason to forgo the plumbing as well or if it is no additional cost should we do it just so we have the option in the future? Appreciate any thoughts.

It would be wise to run the plumbing from the pool to the pad. Just not install the additional pump, etc.
Robots are a great thing. Most everyone likes their's. Hopefully it works well for your pool design.
Take care.

I also suggest you plumb it for pressure just in case, don't need to buy a booster pump but a if you change your mind and people do since the 280 is a proven cleaner, you never know?

I recommend folks keep the option of a pressure cleaner or robot. There are pros and cons to both.
Why plumb for pressure vs. a suction cleaner? Then that line could also be used for manual vacuum. Is there a benefit to pressure over suction in this situation?
Depends on debris, lot's of trees and long stringy stuff pressure is the way to go.
