We purchased this for our above ground pool and it will not go to the far side of the pool.Our old one like this, same model worked fine.

I had to install a PVC ball valve between the filter and the Polaris to reduce the pressure before mine cleaned the whole pool.

I have an Intex 20' round by 52" deep above ground pool and and the pump does not appear to be strong enough to make mine run either.

You can buy a four ft extent ion at your pool store. That solved the problem for me.

We had to cut the hose because it was too long and kept making the turtle turn or back up before it got to the far side, it works great now! Hope this helps!

It fits in a 21 ft above pool half way. The unit would not stay still and we find this annoying. I threw it away. Never again!!

I have a fiberglass pool with concrete coping. The front roller will come to the coping and levitate there for a few seconds. It will then quit propelling and settle to the bottom. I also have a safety ledge half way in deep end, and has no problem. Excellent product.

The water pressure from the hose makes it walk around the bottom of the pool. The problem with the one I purchased, it wouldn't stand up straight, it kept rolling over on it's side. Try a different brand.

My pools an in ground, I can't see why it couldn't be used for an above ground pool though.

Honestly, I don't know what kind of pool that is, but mine is an above ground with a vinyl liner and the Pool Rover Junior is cleaning it really well... It is very gentle when it goes from side of pool to the other, but I believe I would check with the manufacturer first...

Scott, the Aquabot Jr. will indeed work in above ground pools. The secret is to only place enough cable in the pool to reach the other side. Note: Some units that climb have difficulty in above ground pools due to the steep angle.

I would like to find an attachment as well. With my previous inground pool I had no problem but above ground is different.

We have a 16 ft Intex above ground pool and the cover is round and slightly (an inch or so) bigger than our pool. It has worked great so far.

This you have to move around on a pole my pool is only 4 ft deep . I would think for that depth you would need something different.

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.

I'm not sure if it will work in an above ground pool. However, on the vertical walls of our in ground pool, it climbs and does its work very, very well. It does an exceptional job on the bottom and we are very pleased with it.

This is my second one after the first failed with two months of use. The second one was just sent back to the manufacturer for repair again. When it works it works just fine on an above ground pool.

I think it will still work. We trimmed several feet off of this to fit our pool (24x12 oval). For the price difference, it will be worth it.

My grandson uses this in a above ground pool so this is not a problem. Sorry.

I have a 27 foot round pool. I always have my filter running when I use the Rover, and have never saw it get moved around. It is extremely heavy once it fills up with water, which is what makes it sink to the bottom of the pool and not float back up. I have a pretty hard time getting it pulled back up and over the side of the pool when it's finished, especially if it's full of leaves too.
