My son and I did not empty our pool. In fact, the pool was 4-1/2 feet deep. It was kind of hard to stay down at the bottom since our rip was that far down. I do highly recommend wearing goggles while doing this. Some glue particles do float around in the pool and can get in your eyes if your not careful. My son and I both had goggles on and I was glad we did. Our patch from last year is still holding and I know for a fact that it is partly on the metal of the pool siding. I am completely happy with this patch.

No, but you can hook a hose up to it for continuous drain and feed the hose into the drain and this will eliminate the emptying bucket.

Yes, just use the shut off valves from pool to filter pump. Disconnect hoses and replace with new ones. Or you can lower water level below the lowest outlet and replace that way.

Yes. If you follow the included instructions it'll take about a day for the pool to drain, and another day for the pool to dry out. This pool is small enough that one person can set it up and tear it down.

Pool water would contain way too much chlorine. If you ran it through a filter that is capable of removing chlorine you should be fine.

if you want to get the last few inches out yes it'll have to lay flat, otherwise it will get the water level down to which you could lift the barrel or soak up the excess with towels or whatever. It works very well and emptied my 15' by 4' pool in a matter of hours which is about 4,500 gallons. You may want to also buy an extension to the hose, I didn't and that is next on my list for pool emptying this fall.

Yes, water needs to below the output source. Lower water, attach, and fill to top. Our pool was full and being used, we lowered the water, attached the sand filter, and then added more water.

We have both a baby pool and this sand box. The pool has a plug at the bottom to drain the water which really helps. Without the drain it might be quite difficult to tip the sand box to dump the water. I suppose you could scoop it out or siphon the water out.

Mine has never done that. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I would contact the manufacturer if I was you. Normally they run for about a 1 hour cleaning cycle and shut off. I have a larger pool (18'x36' oval) and I usually have to run it through two cycles to completely clean the pool.

You use the setting filter. After I vacuum my pool I will turn filter off then turn filter to backwash let run for a minute or so then turn filter off again and set to rinse then turn filter back on. Watch the water in the bubble and when it turns clear you can turn filter back off again and set back to filter I run my filter for 4 hours in the evening and 4 hours in the early morning. I also have a salt system which allows me to keep my pool crystal clear if you have any more questions feel free to email me brian.gardner33@yahoo.com

No, and you don't have to empty it. The water is vaporized and goes out the window. My unit is about 1 foot from the wall and about 2 feet from the window exit. I aim the blower at a wall opposite from me. Works Great!

Hi, How we drained ours is there is a plug like thing on the bottom of the pool on the outside by your pump, we unscrewed it a little at a time to prevent the yard from flooding... Hope that helps, btw do not leave pool empty without taking it apart we made that mistake and the wind picked it up off the ground

The instructions say not to leave in the pool btwn cleanings. The longest I have left mine in was abt 12 hrs.

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

I net my pool before I place my vacuum in the pool I would suggest to try and remove all larger objects but this vacuum does a wonderful job totally love it !!!!!! Hope this helps.
