Has anyone tried this with a cement pool? It's exactly what I want, but it seems these are just for vinyl or fiberglass? Thanks for your help!

I tried it on a plaster pool. My key issue is that it gets stuck at the bottom and you have to pull really hard to make it move risking that it will get loose from the pole. For me it was workable and I returned it.

Hey Bill - I used this on a cement pool spa. It is too small to use on the main pool because it is so small. It worked very well for me especially considering the pool and spa were very rough and in need of resurfacing. The brushes are very tough and hug the surface. I had to reduce the suction so I could move the head around. A good item for tight areas.

careful with brands like Quikrete from Lowes.. the website has terrible ratings on that product even though it's clearly labeled 'pool filter sand'... you have to make sure it's #20 silica sand.. PinchAPenny has a 20/30 sand that a pool guy told me I could use as well...

Hi, I really couldn't answer this question, we have a concrete pool but a fiberglass finish inside. Sorry that I couldn't tell you!

Nice, I did the same with my smaller pool. I have mine lined up and suspended in the water with plastic screen weighted down with bricks on the pool deck. They will sink to the bottom if you don't secure them somehow. Anyway, if you have enough circulation they work for me lined up. Hope this helps and welcome to the converted pool community!

I used it for our inflatable vinyl kiddie pool and it worked great! Not sure what kind of pool you have though.

I don't have a vinyl pool, so I haven't tried it, but the owner's manual says it can be used in vinyl pools if you replace the tires with part number 896584000-075 tires ("Front Tires used for Vinyl and Fiberglass units. Three raised treads.")

I wouldn't put cement in them. They weigh about 40 lbs if you fill them with sand, and they work great.

I recently bought an XL for my fiberglass pool, even though some of the info said it was for concrete. I was told by a pool expert that it would work fine and it has.

I would think it work well for this. We have used this in our fiberglass pool to remove metal stains. It works the best of anything we have tried. Hope this helps.

I believe it is intended for vinyl pools. That's what we have. It does a great job.

I don't think cement would work. Don't think the fabric would be strong enough to hold it. Sand or rock is best.

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.

Works great as a product. I have a concrete pool so I donot really know. However, since it rests on wheels it should work.

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

Yes, I used it on a small in-ground wading pool. We had first painted with an epoxy pool paint, which sealed some tiny cracks in the cement and really looked good, but the surface was slippery. So, we sprayed this over the painted surface and then filled the pool. It resulted in a non-slip surface, safe for kids and older adults.

It looks to me like the black one is made for concrete pools, providing that is the one that you are referring to. I have the blue one that is made for fiberglass, vinyl, and tile. The one I have does an excellent job of cleaning. I especially like that it crawls up the sides of the pool, cleaning that area too.

I have a concrete pool here in FLORIDA and it works well. Surface is Marzite (sp)
