Doas it float all over the pool's surface or does it stay where it was placed? If yes how?

You tether it to the side of the pool with the supplied string. The staff at Pool Patrol are great.

Comes with string and you tie it to the sides of the pool! It works great so far!

it has self stick hooks that go on tile which string attaches to, I chose not to use device after receiving it. Truly not sure there is a reliable device out there.

Not guaranteed, but basically works like a toilet, when float is up, water stops. Haven't had any trouble w it sticking or overflowing. Very happy with this actually.

I think it's supposed to notice a drop off like at the top of a staircase and stop. However, there are 2 physical ways to limit where the Scooba will go. One is with the towers, the other is with the strips that it reads as a drop off. The scooba stops several inches from the line between the towers so if you position the towers on the edge of the pool, the scooba won't go all the way to the edge. If you use the strips, be sure they are securely attached to the edge of the pool as the scooba will run right up to them and will move it them if they're not secured attached. The strips are sticky on the back so they can be temporarily stuck where you want them.

It will not - it doesn't float, it climbs walls/floor/stairs and can only get things it can travel over on surfaces. It does a great job though, even on leaves, and doing a quick skim of the surface with the hand held skimmer has been pretty easy for us compared to having to dredge up detritus from the pool floor...

It always turns the same way. On my pool the cleaner kept getting stuck near the shallow end stairs. With this it twists the hose until the cleaner dislodges and floats a little bit away.

There are holes on the base that the water fill into when ypu put the unit into the water. The treadmill stays on the bottom of the pool by itself.

Thank you! My pool cover rests on top of the water, so I'm not sure if the dispenser will still move. I keep the cover on except when using the pool. Perhaps it's okay to have it stationary for awhile. Thanks for taking your time to answer.

I have the same problem. When I'm in the pool I sometimes move it manually.

It just lays on top, but it never blows off because it sticks to the water. I trimmed mine so it fit exactly inside the pool with no over hang. Works great, heats well, but bacteria grew faster too.

It just floats on top of the water, we keep it on to help keep the pool clean

It floats on top. I've been using it for several weeks and it stays afloat and has been working out great.

The vacuum suction keeps it in contact with the pool bottom and sides. The issue to be aware of, which I have mentioned previously is that the pin system that holds the vacuum onto the pole is inadequate. That is easily addressed by running a stainless steel bolt with a wing nut through one of the holes to keep the vacuum attached. You will get extremely frustrated fishing the vacuum from the bottom the pool if you do not do this. Outside of that is works fine.

This is meant to stay buoyant in the water. It will float to the surface if dropped. Please let us know if there is anything else that you may need.

Actually, I turn this over and float it along the top of the pool. The jets pull leaves off the top very nicely. You just have to get the right angle. Its not worth it to hook it up JUST to skim the top but when I am cleaning the bottom of my pool, I finish off the top this way.

It does not float by itself. It needs to be attached to something, like the wrist strap, that is buoyant enough to float it, or at least make it easy to snag or hook from a distance, or below the surface.

You should put the stabilizer in the skimmer. If you put it directly in the pool, which I have done, just vacuum it up and it will end up in the skimmer.

It could be that you didn't fill the float with water by holding it underwater for a minute or two when you 1st installed it. That was barely mentioned in the instructions but sounds like something that would assist in moving the float down.
