For an in-ground pool.

I bought the Polaris 4 wheel drive robotic a few months ago---life changing!

It picks up minute grains that the other one with the tail couldn't ever get. And I no longer have the damn tail spraying the entire back of the house with salt water.

We are about to build a pool within the next year.

I don't even know where to start in terms of taking care of it, safety, etc.

@Marco Esquandolas

Nice tile on the pool! We have the Polaris with tank treads (855?), does a great job. From another thread on the outdoor board, I wonder if there's a comparable dolphin model model for less money?

I have a lower end dolphin model approximately $600 that is well worth the money. Cleans all the way up to the water line and completes the entire pool in two hours. Love it.

I settled on the dolphin nautilus plus. Felt it was a great value at the price point. Didn't see the need to spend more on the others.

Ethnically challenged crackhead. They'll scrub it with a toothbrush for $20.

Thank you all for the responses. I knew I could rely on the OT to steer me in the right direction.

I have the Dolphin Nautilus as well and couldn't be happier with it. I'm also a former Polaris owner.

Great forum for info, but not sure how so many have time to test and add chemicals daily with their TFPC method.

we have the 2 wheeled polaris and it picks up pretty much evertyhing...but like marcos said, that things sprays its arse off.

i swear, if i'm weedeating or sweeping the deck off, or just anywhere in the back, that bitch will blast me at some point.

eta: its starting to get personal
