How long is the cord? I have a tree 5 feet back from my pool that I could secure it to. Is that too far away?

I think that would be too far away. Unstretched, the cord is approx. 7 ft long. The tension when you tug on the cord is too much for you to make it work. We have an in ground pool, and I loop the cord around the handle to the main stairs. I have also used the pool ladder with success. I haven't tried this myself, but you could probably fish the cord through the skimmer, out the top and back to you, depending on your pool's layout.

The distance between our fence and pool is about 5 feet. My husband added an extra bungee cord to the end to extend it and it works perfect.

Probably too far considering the need for the cord to be in the water and attached at the ankles. I use the ladder in the pool and it works perfectly every time. Enjoy, this equipment works very well.

You could also put another rope around the tree and then run the cord from the Aqua Sphere through that. My anchor point is about 2.5ft from the pool, and that is just the limit to where I can easily stretch the cord to stand up in 3ft of water.

Hi Tyson! We have a security fence around our pool. We have a nylon rope tied to the fence and use an inexpensive carbeener to link the two together. I will take a pic and upload later so you can see what I mean. It works awesome!!

I don't see why it won't cover that distance even with the trees, if the trees are a problem, get another unit and bridge them or use a repeater for the tree distance.

We have an 18x36 pool and our power source is over 10 feet from the pool. We use an extension cord to plug the power box onto the outlet, but the cord to the cleaner is more than long enough to reach to all ends of the pool.

We mounted ours on our wood shed that's about 10 feet away from our pool and it worked just fine. We got our pool to 86 deg, which sure beat the 67 deg we were trying to get used to!

The description says 25 feet, but I don't think the one I have is that long. It's about 12-15 feet, plenty to reach from the center of the cover to the edge of the pool.

I use a standard outdoor extension cord. You can purchase one right here, make sure it's for outdoor use. No problem. Mine is 50' but you may not need one that long. I was all over my house with it.

Maybe 5 foot cord, an extension cord works rather well to get it where you want it.

It's about 40 feet. I use it on a 25 ft round above ground pool and it reaches the entire pool area. You need to untangle the cord each use otherwise works well. Wish they would come out with a retrofit to have a revolving connector so the cord won't tangle. Takes a bit of time to untangle. That's my only complaint. Good luck,

The cord is only about a foot long, but I use a 50' extension cord with a cover at the connection to keep it secure and waterproof. Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

The cord is about 5 feet. But the cord length is pointless for an underwater application because it does not perform to it's claims of waterproofing.

I measure it at 8ft its probably more like 8.5 feet because I didn't stretch it out fully so u should be fine hope this helps

Hi Heather, My cord is over 5 feet long (68inches to be exact.) I love mine :D

Just under 3 feet... Has a three prong end so be sure to get appropriate outdoor ext cord.

5o or 60 feet, but I didn't know until mine arrived and it was 50 feet. But you can use an extension cord.

The cord as is is 5 feet. Stretched would be 19 feet. It would not hurt the cord to be stretched either.

The cord is five feet long. DO NOT PULL CORD PAST RED LINE ON CORD!!!! Hope this helps.

I saw someone put less than 3 ft. Absolutely wrong. it's at least 6 feet. without knowing the exact measurement I am about 5'10" and i held this cord up to me and from plug to tin tips it was longer than me.
