Bumping in hopes of getting more visibility.

PS You mean the pool spidery thingy/pool robot, right?

We don’t use one in ours.

I’m not in FL, but we use a Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus robot and have been very happy with its performance.

We have a Hayward. It’s been in constant use since 1998. Hubby has had to replace the side flippers and the feet a few times and it’s not hard to do yourself for a cost of way less than $50.

My brother has one. Sorry, don't know which one it is--they always just refer to it as "the creepy-crawly." Anyway, they got a rescue dog who simply would not stop barking at the thing so they had to remove it. I mention this because there's no visible difference in the pool without it. although it was very diligent when it was installed.

I’m in a Florida and had my pool for a few months. I swear by the Zodiac MX8 Elite. It vacuums and brushes … fabulous!
