How do you prevent the shark from dropping down every time a car passes. Ours doesn't drop down ramdomly.

With ours you have to push his mouth down until you hear the light click. It should "chomp" every 3rd time or so.

as long as you weight it down really good. Make sure the bottom is completely filled with either water or sand. Once you do that, it won't go anywhere.

I have not had that problem, but I did have to add a length of tubing when I first got it so it would cover properly. You might have to try that or maybe try less tubing. I hope you solve the problem. I have been extremely pleased with mine. It is so much better than the original Barracuda.

Sorry. Haven't had this problem. We've had ours as much as 15' away without dropping and we've had ours for over a year.

Ours too. We put a weight on the t-bar to hold it down. The unit works great but if you have an automatic cover, the cover will not close completely while the Staypoolizer is in use. We put ours in the shallow end corner so the cover has about a 3" gap from closing. Totally worth it to keep from chasing the water level all summer!

Hi my friend, tell me about it!!! Worst product! Had the same problem with my new car. I finally took it to a car wash, and used a wand. By getting it wet, it became soft and pliable, allowing me to grab pieces at a time and tear it off. A lot of it peeled off just from the high water pressure. Sad product! It still takes time, but it will come off. Good luck!

I have had the same problem with the main belt falling off. It appears that the large and small pulleys are not lined up forcing the belt to ride on the edge of the large pulley nearest the blades. There seems to be no way to align the pulleys. Next stop is the dealer.

You should have received a plastic measuring cup with your shark. I only put in the amount that the cup holds. I did not look back at my directions, but I think that would be explained there also. I would be careful about over filling. If you don't have the measuring cup or directions. I would not put more than 1 cup at a time. I also would try the shark website. The directions should be down loadable.

I do not find that it is very stable on the bumper of my car. I have to hold it for my dog to be able to use - otherwise it slips around on him and scares him. I have tried a few things to make it hold, but haven't found anything that works better than my just holding it while he is climbing into car. There are "feet" on the bottom of it, but I do not think they work well and combined with water for your use, I do not expect they would either. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem the first time I took it out. Then I noticed that the rudder (thing sticking out the bottom) has to be in the back when traversing through the water. I turned the seats around, positioned the rudder in the back, and it was perfect.

No, none at all that is the great thing about this toy. The sharks mouth closes on the toy once the toy car travels through the mouth it presses a sort of button that makes the shark clamp on the car. It is awesome for the little ones.

Use a hockey puck. It doesn't deform and it hasn't hurt the underside of my Porsche in all the time that I have used it.

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.

Steam automatically goes onto the floor when you are using the Shark. If you want only steam, then you could you the life away part and use the nozzle and put steam where you want it but you would have to wipe the floor after as it would be wet.

What we found worked best was double sided tape, placed on the seams of two pieces of the carpet holding both down at the same time. We have had no problems with it. Hope this helps :-).

I have a different model shark. After having similar problems with a short battery charge life, I researched online. Apparently many people have experienced short charge lengths. I still have mine because when it works it works fine. If allowed to charge a long time, charge will last longer.

Yes catching on the pool ladder is definitely a problem with most automatic vacuums and above ground pools. There are days I'm out there every 20 minutes to move it away from the ladder and then there are weeks I don't have any problems. Removing the ladder while running it is probably the only way to guarantee it won't get tangled up but that is not always feasible. My ladder can easily lift out so if I need to I can do that.
