About

Pool Surface Notes puts the basics of How the pool surface (vinyl liner, fibreglass, plaster or concrete, pebble, tile) affects a robotic pool cleaner: grip, wear, marks and what makers' manuals say about each surface into plain words.

The pages draw on published material such as manufacturers' manuals and specifications, government and university pages, and encyclopedias. Each page lists the sources behind it at the bottom, along with the date it was last checked.

There are no ads here, and nothing is for sale.

What you read here is general information. The maker's own manual or documentation comes first, and where safety or the law calls for a qualified tradesperson, use one.
