It just sits at the bottom in one place. Sweeper moves it. then it sits for the rest of the time in one place. Is that how it's supposed to work? I notice some lightness of the pool bottom where it sat for three hours. (It's fiberglass) That bothers...

Nope.. it just sits and gets moved my the sweeper, like you say. I'm not sure this is recommended for fiberglass.. I have a traditional plaster pool, and do not notice any discoloration. I love it, as the tabs last much longer and slowly dissolve.

We have a concrete pool, so I pull, push, and scoop with it! No worries about damage for us. It's great to be able to skim surface leaves all at one time instead of emptying frequently. And stuff stays in it. If I have leaves/debris on the deep end (10ft) floor, I get the edge of this at the beginning of the mess and push slowly until it has gone into the net. We have rounded and sloped areas in the deep end, that's why sometimes I'm pulling debris on the bottom towards me to get it.

Do you mean in the bottom pool portion? If so, I've no idea. The water stays on constantly at a low rate to provide the slip for the slide.

Depending on how high the water level is, it may be right on the water's surface or a little above. I don't remember having a problem with trapping dirt underneath. Usually it keeps the junk out of the pool.

Give it time, it works great in a round pool, it will stop for a few seconds then it will continue it cycle, its like an old man its slow but gets the job done, this thing really works however just give it time to do its thing.

these kind of cleaners all "back-up" it's the result of the flapper valve inside creating a bump to the unit causing it to move backward to a new place each cycle. The direction cannot be adjusted but the cleaner will wander around your pool aimlessly, eventually covering almost the entire pool except the shallowest places, like the first two steps, or a love seat.

The pool is fine. Mine is sitting empty because no one will come out and work on them. I'm told they only want to work on inground pools. So if you can do it yourself, you'll be fine.

hmmm, interesting, I have mine set to the larger pool size and it runs for almost 3 hrs, I never had that problem Bobbi, is there FAQ's for troubleshooting?.........call customer service, good luck!

There are two small debris bags attached inside, it will depend on how much 'stuff' goes into the bottom of your pool, we get some leaves and other crud and I can run it 2-3 three times before it needs a cleaning ...my pool is huge. Cleaning the bags and getting it back into action takes about 5 mins...

Get another pool guy! My guy just folds it to one side, cleans the pool and then does the other side. He has never mentioned to me the need for more chemicals, algae concerns etc....

Truthfully, I find it slightly annoying in my above ground pool. I tend to have to put more pressure on the vacuum head to get it to work properly. However, it has been a great vacuum with the brushes all around. Sometimes I have to lift when the brushes tend to push away the debris to get it to be picked up.

You should try to have it as level as humanly possible! If it isn't the pool will not fill correctly, the top ring will not set right and it tends to get mildew buildup where it is uneven.

Both. It spends more time on the bottom and less on the sides in Quick Clean. It's the cycle you use when you've got friends showing up for a swim in two hours and you notice the pool's a bit dirty.

We have this pool for several years now and it has been very safe. The legs don't really move. Maybe shift VERY slightly every now and then, but they are not going anywhere. If you have very soft ground under your pool, like we did, you can do like us; We put wide boards under the legs to keep them from working their way into the ground (i.e. sinking.)

I believe the float should remain at bottom and is suppose to trigger machine off when water is too low....but my machine never shuts down when water out as indicated.

The colored notches around the pool have places for inflation. Those are the only areas that inflate the bottom does not. The top inflates from the upper level of color.

Yes, I have had the same problem: winds up into a spiral and then can't clean the pool. Took it apart, saw nothing wrong. Went online for solutions, tried those. Final solution: tie the bug to a jug full of water, and put it at various places around the edge of the pool. Then the bottom sweep will move around and clean the bottom.Bill Kustes
