Product Description

This Polaris Vac-Sweep 65 pressure side pool cleaner works in most in-ground vinyl or fiberglass pools, even those with uneven bottoms to a depth of 5 feet. It installs in just minutes and includes a ready to connect 1.5-inch threaded return line and 24 feet of float hose (enough for pools up to 24-feet round).
This automatic above-ground pool cleaner uses the existing pool's filtration system to direct powerful jets of water against the pool floor to loosen debris in hard-to-reach places. The detachable debris bag trails behind, trapping even large debris like leaves and pebbles before they clog your filter. The cleaner works on the pressure side of your pump and distributes filtered, treated water throughout your pool as it cleans.

Customers like the ease of use of the pool cleaner. They say the instructions are easy to follow, and it does not require a rocket scientist to assemble. They also say it does take a long time to get the pool clean, and the basket that catches the debris picks it up easily. The quick connect attachment is easy to attach and disconnect, and works great right out of the box. Customers also mention that it's easier than manually vacuuming their pool.

Really Poor First Outing and Getting Worse
1 Star
Really Poor First Outing and Getting Worse
This is 3rd one I've purchased. First two worked out of the box and Randomized, eventually degraded to endless coiling. Disappointed with this new one:Bag attachment came of twice in first 15 minutes. Does not snap into place like previous ones. Had to use a zip tie to keep it in place.Randomized somewhat, but has coiled up 4 times , and there is still debris on the bottom. Considering sending it back for a refund. Takes longer to keep it to working than just vacuuming the pool manually.Update: Lowering my rating to 1/2 star. What really pathetic Quality.1. I followed the manufacturers directions for removing the coil memory on the hose. Left it in the sun for a couple of datys. Total coil-up time extended from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Not impressive2. Picture 1: One of the wheels came off. ~Hour 9. A second one fell off 10 minutes after I took this pic3. Picture 2: My lame Attempt to use ziplock ties to tighten the pins on the bag holder. Extend fall of time from 5 minutes to about an hour.4. Picture 3: Hose connector has come off every single time I have used it.The positive:I did get it to work somewhat by cannibilizing my older unit.1. It does not coil up as bad when I use the old hose2. The bag stays on when I use the old bag holderBut:The randomizer simply did not work for the first 6 hours of operation. Even with the old hose.After 6 hours the randomizer kicked in and it started roaming around the pool.But, After 8 hours of operation there was still debris in the pool. I gave up and manually vacuumed the pool.It is mostly working now. With the old cannibilized parts.If you are replacing a unit ... save the old parts. If you are buying a new unit ... Good Luck.
