Re: Electric for robotic cleaner
I am considering doing the same but I will run an appliance coupler outlet instead (the same connector that's on my Aquabot). This way I'll be running low voltage DC. I'll size the cable so the DC drop is negligible (3 discrete runs of 20A roemax maybe).
The folks at Dolphin and Aquabot are asleep at the wheel. The Polaris guys have worked into a lucrative niche for themselves by aligning with installers/dealers so booster pumps and plumbing are built into new pool installs. The pool guys install electrical for lighting so all they would need to do is to design a waterproof floor outlet with a remote on/off switch (for the power supply/control unit) and a power supply/control unit that's weather tight. I think anyone would rather deal with this setup vs booster pumps and more plumbing.
