I have an uneven pool floor (packed sand). Will this cleaner be able to move around well?

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.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. Based on the limited data, I would say YES. The S2 Line has a wheels designed to handle these type of issues. However if your pool resembles a mogul run, it may not. My take is that it will not be a problem. Please remember to alternate the wheel pins to ensure complete pool coverage and to help prevent cable tangling.

This cleaner was inexpensive .... which means cheap. I don't know about packed sand floors but my main issue is it not covering the whole pool! The bags will be full so it does pick up fine debris but I can't recommend this cleaner.

Absolutely, Ihave had mine for a year and it has worked for removing lawnclippings,dirt and various debris.It works really good in my in ground pool

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.

Its great for above ground pools. It does not hurt the liner. Living in AZ i get a lot of dust and have to clean the microfilter frequently or it slows the suction.

No. My pool has an average amount of dirt at the bottom. I use it daily. And I only clean it weekly. My only complaint is that the cord tools around on itself.

It works very well on mine but if it also had a brush attachment to it, it would even work better. I live in Arizona where micro-dust is picked up by the wind and deposited into the pool. It is so fine that the catch screening clogs up almost immediately. I had to cut the fabric and allow my pool filter to catch the sand and occasionally backwash my filter to keep the suction at premium.

I use mine for an in-ground pool and it keeps it cleaner and keeps the heat in. It is pretty lightweight and easy to maneuver. It would be easier to use if you had a spool to reel the cover on and off...

I have been reasonably satisfied with our Aquabot Jr. I picks up all kinds of dirt and debri (we just opened the Pool). It does climb walls and angled surfaces. My complaint is that its program doesn't move it around the pool as I have to reposition it on occasion.

I have a in-ground fiberglass pool that I use this pool sweep in...I have had it for about 3 months and it works soo much better than the more expensive pool sweep I had... It tends to gravitate to the deep end because it is made for a flat bottom above-ground pool, but that is small consolation considering how much cleaner my pool is now...I would not hesitate to use this in your pool...

the pool is soft vinyl floor with hard sides. the sides stand up as it is filled with water. if you put the sand deep enough, it would most likely work

yes the pool cleaner continues to work but not as well due to restriction in movement

My pool floor is not a perfectly smooth floor so this unit did not work for me.

Sorry I just found the email buried in my inbox. It is fairly lightweight about a 1lb or 2. I think that is what makes it somewhat ineffective. Like I said in another review. If there is a lot of debris it not useful if it is just like dirt it works. I do not have a lot suction through this one like I do with my one with the little wheels. This one really helps to do the sides of the pool. As I said before if you want less work hire somebody else to do it. If you are like me you will use what ever you have and do it yourself. I hope this helps.

Yes. I haven't used it yet because my Aquabot vacuum is running in pool for that reason. Sand doesn't seem to settle in corner like the leaves and such.

It would depend on how hard you are swimming. It moves the bottom of our ladder that hangs from the deep end of the pool when I am at full speed. Easy effort should be fine.

I own a vinyl pool but have never used the vacuum. Sorry I couldn't help. My pool just never gets that dirty.

I have an above ground pool and the bottom middle is not much deeper than the sides, so I do not have that problem. My husband does move it occasionally to help it out.
