I agree. I am blding an inground vinyl pool and was planning on plumbing for a pressure side cleaner. After exploring all options and costs I am going with a robotic. No exta pipes, price is about the same if you have to buy the booster pump with your cleaner , robotics use less power and filter with out the pump running so again electrical is reduced. I am going to go with one of the dolphins probably from costco for $990. Chris
