Does this unit climb slopes in inground pools?

Sorry I thought I read walls. Yes slopes it does easily but not walls. Great product I would recommend.

No but I found with my small pool (12x24) it wasn't necessary. I don't have a deep end (only 5.5 feet) and the sides don't get dirty or algae build up. It is also why this unit is so affordable. I love this aquabot and have had the $1000 unit in my prior pool. This works great for the $$

mine does until it gets heavy from picking up dirt. usually does pretty good on climbing slopes for the first couple of hours of cleaning.

We have a 20' X 40' in-ground pool and the unit easly climbs up the slopes. It will even try to climb the vertical side walls but, frankly, does not have the oomph to get all the way to the top of the wall. Still, my overall evaluation is that this is a excellent product at a reasonable price.

I do not know if this kind climbs because I did not buy a habitat with climbing attachments. Sorry!

No. I installed the ladder where the last step is just below the water line. I have tested the ladder with a 300 lbs man. No problems.

It does not unless you put in on an incline. Ours works great. Have had 3 over the years.

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Yes, the Aquabot is designed to climb and clean up to and including the waterline.

Mine climbs half way up the walls of my pool and a friend has a 6 foot deep end and has no problem with it climbing.

Yes, the Aquabot loves to climb in fact it will on every pass. This unit is designed to clean and scrub up to the water line and on every 7th pass spend even more time on the water line.

I purchased one of these and am pleased with it... But isn't it designed for above ground pools?

It certainly gets the walls, and can do the steps, but it will only do steps that are far enough below the waterline that it doesn't start sucking air as it climbs. I'm very happy with mine

I believe you can. It does climb up the sides of the pool and goes back down, but that should not effect the rings at all.

The Ascent has a televator which will make it easier to climb steep surfaces. I have the Evo and have had no issues climbing with them. I use mine in county and state parks in Iowa so its not like I'm trying to climb anything major, but the Evos have been great for everything my family use them for.

No, The Top step should be level IF the steps inside the pool and the steps on the outside are at the same height. I put concrete step pavers underneath my outside steps and then realized I had to dig out some earth to make the steps level with the inside ones.

The pool I have is an above ground with hard sides. It did not do any damage or snag the liner of the pool. The piece of equipment has rounded edges and wheels that help it glide around the sides or the pool with ease.

It might. Consider the angle on the bottom of your pool. If you bottom has a gentle slope this product can probably clean it. If your pool has steeper slopes, spend the money on a model specific for in ground pools. This model will not climb walls. If you want your walls cleaned also get a better model.

We have had this model for a full season so far and have been very happy with it. Our pool is packed sand as well-has a 18 inch ledge around the deep end with a 6 foot 'hole' in the middle of that. It has no issues climbing up the deep end slope of around 45°. Also have large roots growing under liner in shallow end-they are all over and are about and inch in diameter....has no issues getting over them. We did have to play with placement of where we dropped it in to get the best cleaning coverage. It is an inexpensive model but like I said so far we have been happy with it.

Yes - you can climb up/down the steps on either side of the ladder. The rollup door prevents people from being able to climb up the ladder from the outside of the pool IF you have it pulled down.

It does not have different incline levels. It has different levels of difficulty to vary the workout
