Halfway through summer and I’m still not scrubbing the pool by hand

Bought my first Aiper robot this spring and it has been the best pool decision I have made in years. Mornings used to start with a net and a brush. Now it is mostly coffee and checking the app to see if the cycle finished.

I was worried it would just become another gadget to manage, but honestly it has made the whole season easier. Waterline is cleaner, the surface stays clear, and I am not spending my weekends chasing leaves around.

How is everyone else’s pool season going so far? Any maintenance headaches, or has it been smooth sailing? Would love to hear what is working for you and what you wish you had known back in May.
