As I read these construction threads and I get a little new pool envy I thought of an idea that might be cool to implement. Right now I have to wheel my robot to the side of the pool and put it in. Then I wheel the caddy back plug it in and let it go. I am lazy so the robot stays in the pool for a couple of days but the caddy and the cord bug me and zen nature of looking at my pool.
So I am wondering about putting the power supply in a box somewhere. Connect it to my automation system. Run a cord under the deck and have a port pop our somewhere. Then I would screw the robot cord to the port and run the robot for as long as I like without seeing a cord on my deck. If I were building a new pool the port could be under the coping or in the tile with some sort of waterproof plug.
Anybody think about doing this, or what are the big drawbacks?
