Customers are mixed about the stability of the pool vacuum. Some mention that the twist works to rotate the pattern and eliminate it from getting stuck on the pool. It rotates nicely and doesn't seem to be effected by debris flowing. However, others say that it's made to rotate freely, so twisting the hose has no effect. It also twists up the nozzle into a knot.

My Kreepy Krauly does still get stuck, but in a matter of minutes it will work it's way out where as previously I would find it in the same spot for hours before having to physically move it.
I went outside the day after I installed to see how the pool looked and I found the case separated, the little rotary gear missing two teeth, and the flat side suction end of the case planted firmly against the bottom of the pool. Good idea, poor execution. I honestly don't see how this device would have held up over time. Very disappointed. For the money they charge, this should be a much more durable and reliable device.
It does the job. It gets the vacuum out of the corners and gives it a more randomized path through the pool. So it works as advertised.
The problem is that it just flat out breaks after several months. I'm guessing the chlorine just eats through some of the parts (or the water rusts it). This time I'll make sure I take it out rather than keeping it in the pool.
I wouldn't mind if it was cheaper and had to keep buying it, but come-on...make this thing actually last.
I'm only buying it again because my pool has a couple of corners where my vacuum gets stuck, and this thing helps.

Here's how I approached it & what I did (i.e. you need a 'control group'; only 1 change-at-a-time; learn from it).
1. Diligence/Patience. Learn what's working/not-working w/yr cleaner.
2. Adjust the 2 weights - moving them apart/together (despite mfg settings) makes a HUGE CHANGE!
Not all cleaners are promised tas being wall-climbing. Mine is; Hayward Aquanaut200.
3. Then my Aquanaut200 climbed & pop-out of the water.... this is equally unacceptable; it's hard on the pump (may need a Back-wash 'n Rinse to get the psi below 15).
3. Regardless, make sure the cleaner's "throat" is either small, med or large (mostly large for wall climbing) & clear of debris.
3. Always ONLY DO 1 change at-a-time
2. Back-washed & rinsed the pool's Hayward filtration config (i.e. it was up about 17psi.... it's now about 12psi). I'll be doing this weekly!!
thank you .
