hey carl, in your experience, how close does a robotic cleaner come to eliminating the traditional "hook up the hose through the skimmer" vacuuming?
I haven't vacuumed by hand with a hose in the skimmer for over 10 years, going back to my first robotic cleaner.

The closest I get to manual cleaning is to do some touch ups with my pool blaster.

Once you have a robot there is no going back...lol
