I am a completely new to the pool ownership game but suddenly find myself in charge of not one but 2 pools: one square and one lap pool. I am looking for a robotic cleaner and I am overwhelmed by the info. Can you guys help me with a few questions?
1. There are some nice reviews of the Nautilus and the triton/z5, but it is not clear to me what is the difference (besides the price and the remote control). Does it make sense to go for the higher end one? What is the advantage?
2. Given that we have 2 pools. Would you go for 2 cheaper robots, or is it practical to share a robot between the pools? How long and how frequently do people run the robots?
3. I see most robots are rated for pools up to 50 ft ... But our lap pool is over that? Will it be a problem, do they make power extenders for these things?
4 the pools are simple rectangular shapes with no fancy features. Does that make it easier to find a simple cheaper robot ?
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
