Hello everyone,   Welcome to The Pool Deck!  At Skimmer, our purpose is to empower pool and spa service professionals with a platform to build great l businesses. We began fulfilling this purpose by developing an all-in-one pool service management platform to simplify running your business, and from the feedback we've received, it seems to be working well.  As we continue to grow, we've heard from our customers that they would like more opportunities to learn and collaborate with other Skimmer users and our team of experts. So, we started working on creating a community space where everyone can come together to share experiences and knowledge. We understand the importance of having a safe space to ask questions to learn together.  But our purpose for The Pool Deck community goes beyond becoming a Skimmer super user. We have partnered with professionals to contribute in areas essential for helping you grow your business and achieve your goals. These experts will cover marketing, finance

The latest VacDaddy 2.0 version is here. It’s tough to place this in any one category. It has the power of a vacuum system but the capacity of a suction cleaner canister (internal debris bags). It doesn’t use a battery but plugs in. It vacuums a pool like a vacuum connected to the skimmer but rides on your pole with no hoses. It’s the Duck-Billed platypus of pool tools!  However, the Vacuum to Waste (V2W) adapter and the shallow water adapter make this a versatile machine.

Has anyone come across an automated device that skims the top of the pool for leaves, then also dives down and cleans the bottom?  There are several solar-powered devices that skim the top and do not depend on a hose or cord which is required in this situation.But the only one I saw so far is from BettaBot and I think it is a new item, and, it looks to be about $2,000.Since the customer has turnover at the house because of renters, have a vacuum that runs on the bottom but is connected to a hose is not an option.  Pool is roughly 10k gal.

Thoughts on Vacbagz design? Do we need distribution to support? 

What I am working on today. Time to renew this awesome class!!
