Thus far, I am thrilled! This bad boy is even better than my original. The part that goes into the skimmer is shaped like a "Y" sort of. The bottom goes in the skimmer, the top attaches to your vacuum hose, and there is this black cap thing on the other "Y" side that you turn to adjust how fast or slow the thing operates. It also comes with a pressure tester. Before attaching the vacuum to the other end of the vacuum hose, you attach the pressure tester. (While you do this, stand near the skimmer - you will adjust the black cap thing by either tightening it or loosening it.) Watch the pressure tester. You will see two lines - one says min, the other says max. You want to adjust the black cap tighter or looser to get the floater inside the pressure tester to balance between min and max. Note: (Hold the pressure tester under water with one hand while you adjust the knob in the skimmer with the other.) The whole process takes about a minute to get it just right. Next, you remove the pressure tester and attach the vacuum.
Others have complained about the noise this thing makes - basically, it goes click, click, click, click...... You get the idea, right?! The higher the pressure, the louder the CLICK, CLICK, CLICK..... Also, the higher the pressure, the faster it vacuums. The lower the pressure, the more quietly it operates, AND the better it vacuums!!!! I relate this to vacuuming your carpet in your house - if you move the vacuum slowly over the carpet, it picks up more dust. If you zoom it over the carpet, it picks up less. So, just know that even after you do the pressure test and think you have it perfect, you can always unscrew the black cap on the "Y" valve in the skimmer just a little while the vacuum is in operation and slow it down a little if it seems to not be as cleaning as well as you like.
We have no trees around our pool, so it gets full sun most of the day. Our biggest debris problem seems to be pollen, the occasional crape-myrtle bloom that catches the wind in the summer, and bugs. My best advice is after you run it the first day, go ahead and clean your skimmer basket at the pump and backwash your filter. Do that for the first couple of days until the bottom of you pool appears "mostly" perfect. Then, you should be able to go to backwashing and cleaning the pump's skimmer basket about weekly.
One more tip - DO NOT PUT CHLORINE TABS IN YOUR SKIMMER BASKET!!!!!!! Some local pool store nut told me I needed to do that last summer and it ate out the seals in my pump in two days. Then, she tried to sell me a new pump. Cost me about $80 at a local electrical motor shop to have the seals replaced on my 2 Hp pump. If you need more chlorine, buy an extra floater and fill them both up weekly.
Overall, great little pool vacuum, gets the job done well, and with good maintenance of your pump skimmer basket and backwashing, you should get great results! (Try putting a little Vaseline around the edges of your pumps skimmer basket if you have trouble removing it to clean the basket! It works great and make the job a snap!)
Hope it works as well for you!
I got it, 2 days free Prime delivery. Thank you very much, Amazon! I opened it. I looked at the instruction. Really. 3 seconds. Then I balled them up and chucked them at my boy.
It isn't made for my pool. Yada yada, BFD. NOTHING is made for my pool, which is Summer Escapes. The hose took a few minutes to put together. It was a pain. It was OBVIOUS how the cleaner went together. Lucky... Instructions were a hindrance, no help at all!
And... in 10 minutes from receipt of package it was happily clucking away on my pool bottom. I have a Summer Escapes 18 footer and it DO work! Amazing!
I see clean pool bottom! NICE! Well, clean stripes where this thing has been, anyway.
I took the ladder out. Yeah. I'm chicken.
It isn't skimming because I'm using the el cheapo adapter plate supplied with the pool. It sucks air because the hose from the cleaner is a tad too big, but hey, ain't that slick?
It works! Talk about easy... 10 min. and I'm up and running. I listen... Yeah, it clicks... which is totally negated by IT WORKS! Yeeha! MY life just got easier!
-------------------------------
It is some hours later and I note:
This think is like a child. You need to check on it occasionally. When the filter clogs it goes to sleep! Reasonable enough, I guess - the filter actually was full, clogged. And you CAN steer this sucker - several ways. Guide it by hand, lead it by the hose (it goes backwards - toward the hose), or you can direct your pump's return flow at an area to steer it AWAY from that area.
It didn't clean the entire thing. A rollicking good thunderstorm hit. I cut and ran. Good thing, too! Note that I have no doubt it WILL clean the entire thing.
My pool is level. Kinda.
My pool's bottom is smooth. Sorta.
You will not get hurt strolling across it, but you might fall down a couple times.
Rough winter, no patience for leveling...
And the bottom isn't wringled much1 No - it is wrinkled A LOT! (no patience, remember?) And STILL this thing coped with all the obstacles, folds and crap. Did a good job of cleaning - where it went. Didn't pick up leaves. Didn't buy it for leaves... Didn't have time to go everywhere, but I think I've seen enough to believe it will do a great job for me!
Yup, I'm happy with this gadget! Money WELL spent!
Cheers!
I leave it for 4 hours and probably give it a nudge into the far corners once or twice but it really does 95% of the job all on its own. I can grab the last bit of dirt myself in less than five minutes.
I did add two small weights to the line to help it reach the far corner of my deep end, which is advised by the manufacturer for their similar products.
It does get stuck by the pool ladder sometimes but not too often.
Overall, it has been great. I don't need to scrub the pool by hand and has made life so much easier.
My pool tips:
My above ground pool maintenance is pretty low maintenance. I use the Frog Leap system to keep my pool properly chlorinated, and run the Kreepy Krauly overnight as needed (every couple of weeks). I use a net pool cover to catch leaves since I have a tree right over the pool.
