How does the pool cleaner skim the top of pool. ours does not?

Ours has never skimmed the top, But it does an excellent job on the bottom and the sides

Suction side pool cleaners are not meant to skim the surface of the water. This applies to pool cleaners of any manufacture. Surface skimming is the job of the pool skimmer, While floor cleaning is the job of the suction side cleaner.

It does not, none of them do, these are just for the pool floor and sides. Your pool should have a built in skimmer.

Well, it does not. It is only for cleaning the walls and floor, which was very poor on our pool.

it does not skim the top of the pool. It rides along the bottom and sides sucking up debris. When you pool filter is running stuff on top should go into the skimmer basket or you can net this off.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. The S2 line-up is designed to vacuum pool floors and if there is a pool floor to wall radius of at least 6" it will climb and clean the cove and partial wall. Note: Most above ground pools do not meet this standard and the cleaner will focus on the pool floor where the majority of the debris settles.

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.

I only used my pool for a month or so. It was just me, the water and the sun. So, I didn't get a pump skimmer. I used a chlorine floater and and hand held net skimmer to retrieve any debris. I also put the pool cover on it when not in use. I had no problems at all without the pump skimmer.

Hi, this is Steve at aqua Products. Our cleaners do not know if the pool is above or in-ground. This cleaner is designed to clean and vacuum pool floors and if the floor to wall radius is at least 6" it may be able to clean a partial wall. Note: We have cleaners that are designed for In-Ground applications that scrub as well as vacuum but that is a consumer preference. Just make sure the cable length is long enough.

Jim, mine is on the vacuum line to the pool sweep. It gets anything on the bottom including bugs. The skimmer gets anything floating on the surface. Charlie K. Anaheim Ca.

Yes, I cannot vacuum the deep end of the pool with the head laying flat, it has to be tilted. I have tried switching the position of the weights, but have had no luck in correcting the problem. I have an old Hayward cleaning head, and it never gave me this problem.

Try filling level of pool only between the two screws of skimmer and generally you will always have to skim top for debris with hand skimmer-

You should try to have it as level as humanly possible! If it isn't the pool will not fill correctly, the top ring will not set right and it tends to get mildew buildup where it is uneven.

It should work the same as it does for an above-ground pool - meaning that it will only clean the bottom and any slopes. It does not climb the sides of the pool like those that are especially made for in-ground pools.

No, it's just a vacuum that works off your pool skimmer. It works very well in keeping the bottom of the pool clean.

I found that this skimmer fit but did not really work well with The Pool Cleaner. I think you could modify it to make the connection work, but as-is this skimmer would come unattached and float off. I returned it.

I don't see how it would work, because it is meant to travel around the pool with the pool vac, thus cleaning the pool top area. If attached to skimmer it would stay in one place and I don't believe that would be much. The tube/hose it comes with is very short, after our pool vac went past our 6" mark it floated in one place, not very for us also the connection to the pool vac was loose and the instructions show you can buy another added attachment to secure it better, not the most cost effective pool top cleaner.

I am sorry, I cannot answer this question as we have not had the problem. Ours works great... do you start it at the far side of the pool? We do have a bit of an issue of it getting stuck at the ladder, but we try to keep an eye on it and move it along if it happens. We use ours a lot and eventually the pool gets covered.

It has to do with how the PoolCleaner works. After every 10-12 (i belive so) rotations of the wheels the cleaner pauses a mechanical randomizer kicks in and it changes its direction using the gearing mechanism. As a result this cleaner not get stuck, I have used my for months and it is this great feature that prevents it from getting stuck. Please watch a video or two from youtube and check this out for yourself.

The skimmer moves up and down freely, but could be improved a bit by blocking the air suction at the top of the intake. I work around the problem by keeping my tank topped off with water every two weeks.

it only goes part way up the walls, but my leaves and debris accumluates on the floor of the pool so it wasnt an issue for me. the only exception is steps which i sweep of prior to running the cleaner, the cleaner doesnt do steps
