Tips for Opening a new Pool the First Time & Testing a Cleaning Robot

- Pool companies charge $400 or more just to open your pool! I do it myself for about $20 - it's easy if you know a few steps. I use the least amount of chemicals & get crystal clear pool water all summer long. I also got a chance to try out the newest & most innovative pool cleaning robot called Aquasense Beatbot

Beatbot provided me with the robot shown in this video at no charge. Nothing was scripted, or required other than an honest review. And no, Beatbot sadly did not pay for this swimming pool!

Usually, your videos just result in me spending a few hundred dollars on tools or gadgets I want.
But now, I want a pool. Thanks!
LOL, Keeping up with Chris is probably dangerous.
How about making a video about how to "close" a pool at the end of the summer pool season? To prepare the pool for winter, and for the many idle months until the following summer's pool season?
I will definitely do that. It's such an important thing and lately it seems impossible to hire anyone
@@SilverCymbal : Great! However, I assume you'd prefer to make that video months from now when you close your pool, to show how you do it. Unfortunately some of your viewers may need to finalize their pool closing arrangements before then. So, perhaps you could make a video soon in which you discuss what will need to be done (and follow it up months from now with the video that shows how you do it).
I would appreciate this as well. Although in central Florida one need not really close your pool especially if you have even a minor clear "sun cover" or even a very small solar heater.
Just watch this video in reverse
Being from California, the idea of "opening" a pool was so foreign to me. Our pool was always open all year. Then we moved to Columbus and I understand that pool opening season is a thing. I need to move back to California.
California is a big state with parts getting bad weather and heavy snow during the winter. Mountain areas of Southern California get snow. People leave their pools open year round there too?
@@jdm1039 I have no idea what those people do. I made a comment about my pool and where I lived.
@Hppyzmbie You said "California," so it sounded like you were speaking about the entire state. Just checking.
We are definitely the opposite being here in New Hampshire so every month counts, and the deep freeze is a big deal so you absolutely have to winterize it. You warm seasons folks are very lucky
1:27 "so anyways, I started blasting..."
1:53 I usually put chemicals in first to kill of any algae and bacteria, then brush to let the filter absorb the remains, then I vacuum any remains. It helps that I have a sand filter that can soak up a lot of debris, my old one used to be a DE filter that would clog easily.
Bought a pool robot off Amazon last year for about $200. Works great and is far less expensive than this $1000 robot.
Snyder also installed my pool last year. Pretty happy with it so far! The whole family has been itching to get in since the temps have been anywhere from 80-90 degrees this week.
I just keep our pool running 365 days a year. Over the winter the Hayward control panel is smart enough to keep the pump running to avoid freezing. I keep the chems balanced once a month over the winter as well. We have a salt cell chlorinating system and it produces all the chlorine we need when it's above 50F. It's never seen algae because it's always operational.
Can't wait for the pool installation video, I didn't think you could have concrete around such a pool which is what I want, but I've only thought about building the pool from the ground up.. I mean, not use an already made fiberglass one.. Now I've got new ideas 😋 Great video, can't wait for next one! ❤
Get PoolRX! It literally reduced my pool maintenance by half. Its a mineral based algecide that you put in your pump basket, kind of like how farmers put a copper pipe in a trough to stop algae. Lasts all season.
I started using one last pool season. It seems to really work.
Pool RX has been a game changer for me down here in Texas- I don’t even have to shock or use excessive chlorine tablets
Here is another excellent video with a wealth of valuable information. Thanks for sharing. Your place is beautiful!
My third season with a pool. Recently caught on to using bleach. Previously used cal-hypo, which is a bit of work and not any cheaper. Just pour slowly in the deep over a jet. This year, trying a low level of trichlor + bleach. Trichlor pushes the pH down while bleach pushes it up. Hoping to keep an easy balance with tri providing low level of chlorine and CYA with the bleach to shock and maintain. I use bleach in my hot tub too with bromine. Gotta keep the CYA in check!
how dare you hide this from me haha love it
The pool looks great Chris. That robot is pretty cool
I really appreciate that, thank you
Wow impressive way of putting in an inground pool
Awesome video. I have a dolphin that works great. But it has a cord. I'd love a battery powered one. Thanks for the video!
Much appreciated. Those Dolphins are really good long lasting robots. This is one is the best battery one i Have tested to date but we wont know the longevity for a while though. Time will tell
In Ohio, we're always encouraged to drain the pool below the level of the jets to avoid any freezing.
Very cool stuff, but I really dig the giant Wago connector!
I love the giant Wago, its like my Wago trophy from them
LSI is hard to balance with soft water. You'll use less acid if your calcium is above 300 and you have lower alkalinity.
I am interested to see, how you got the lawn back in shape after having all the trucks and construction take place
Easy. It’s been sodded
Throw a Baby Ruth in the pool!!
If you keep all balanced in the water for specs when you close you won't have any issues with it when you open. If that is a mesh security cover then that's another story.
i heard that robot has issue with stairs. did you notice it having issue climbing the stairs?
Can you replace the battery? Is it one that you can buy from someone other than the Beatbot maker?
For the long haul... I don't trust anything with a proprietary battery.
I use the same Austins Pool Shock from Ocean State Job Lots. 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite. The price can't be beat. I check the made-on date on the boxes and grab the freshest stock.
Agreed, The only downside of the liquid is its only really good for 1-2 years and if its stored in a hot shed it goes quicker. Great tip about the date!
Cool stuff good man! Got a question is the robot actually any good? Should I get the second generation? I’ve had issues with robot vacuums and stuff similar.
Appreciate it!
Our pool in the midwest we run pvc pipes above the water line from the jets. How do you get the water out of the lines so they dont freeze up?
We blow them out and leave the blower on and quickly cap the end to avoid much water in them. I have always felt its crazy that there aren't pre-built valves that allow winterizing, but its still done like an afterthought here.
@@SilverCymbalseems like you could use an irrigation valve to close them up for winter and open them in the summer?
Can you please do a video on replanting trees? I need to move a spruce tree which is like 8 feet. Don’t have fork lift or anything like that
Wow that robot is amazing
Good morning. I just purchased a new home with a built in pool and am looking at multiple videos with everyone testing all different models of cordless pool cleaners. If you had to pick one and money wasn't an issue, which one would you pick? I am asking the same question to multiple youtubers. Thx. Paul.
I haven't finished the review yet, but I am currently using this one: amzn.to/3VL0vzY right now and despite being cheaper this has been working incredibly well and its fast. Unbeatable at that price point.
@@SilverCymbal looking forward to that video!
$2000 for a pool robot? Ah, no. Good chance this thing will die within a few years of constant use. It takes me all of 15 minutes to hand vacuum my 12,000 ga. pool and I get to enjoy the fresh air and get some vitamin D from the sun. Plus my hand vacuuming beats the results of all the pool robots I've owned.
Why do you have a anchor cover but then it also seems like you have the track and trough for an auto cover?
The anchor cover is for winterization and the auto cover is for the summer season to prevent evaporation and debris getting in the pool.
100% right on the money
@@SilverCymbal Hmmm, okay. Never seen that before, but I'm sure you have your reasons.
A pool brush is a lot cheaper than a robotic cleaner if you are just trying to clear up the water.
No argument there, robots and vacuums are only needed if you get leaves, tree junk or a lot of sand.
I can see shocking the water at the beginning of the season, but why would you need to do it so often as you say if you're checking your water and adjusting regularly?
What are your thoughts on a salt water pool?
This pool and my last were both salt water pools. 100% worth it for above or in-ground. They don't save you money, they cost about 15% more overall but they do two key things. The almost eliminate you adding chlorine regualry, and this translates into your water being much more stable. Problem for most pool owners is they just forget, then the water gets out of wack. They buy 10 things make the problem worse and eventually it gets corrected. Salt eliminates this. The stuff about the salt being better to swim in, smell different, etc are all myths. The stability and less weekly work is why I like them.
I have a salt system and never have to add chlorine after the initial season start-up. It stays clean the entire season. I live in Massachusetts.
Cool
Depends. Too many variables.
0:16 how could you ?
🤣🤣
👍👍
@Silvercymbals, Chris what are the dimensions of the pool?
Hi its 14x30
OBSERVATION..ive had 4pools in my lifetime, one at every home. People say they dont want a pool bc its too hard. It is not.
The origins of Zima
First comment?
🤔 WHERE'S the comment?🤔
Now, here's a comment.
I prefer ceramic pools.
They tend to be more rigid, solid and don't require a spreader bar when installing. I really like the smooth surface of ceramic pools, when compared to the porous surface of a gunite pool.
Downside is $$$$
