New from Darnestown, MD :)

Hello ! I'm a pretty recent pool owner (2 years from Maryland.
I have a 26000 gallons in-ground pool. Not many issues so far - except for my Polaris cleaner that is driving me crazy these days. I'll post more details shortly in the appropriate forum anyway

I hope the community here will be able to help !

Thanks !
Caroline

Welcome! It took me about 4 years to be frustrated enough with my pressure side cleaner's lack of effectiveness to remove my booster pump and get a robot. Haven't looked back since.

See this novel of a thread for some cleaner reading. Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club

Awesome - I might have a look at a new cleaner for the next season, our is just falling appart !
I'm not familiar with robots (yet) - I only had the Polaris 360 (from the previous house's owners). I'll need a cleaner that can deal with amounts of leaves since we have big trees in the back of the pool. When it's windy and at the end of the season, the pool bottom is covered with leaves
