I have a 3G and need a disc and foot. I have an inground gunite pool. Isn't there a difference in the parts between gunite and vinyll pools?

the difference is one is literally vinyl and the other is a type of spray on concrete called gunite

The G3 is for inground pools, not vinyl above ground pools. They only make one fin(disk) and foot...for inground granite and other aggregate materials.

No, the G3's are made to work in both gunite and vinyl pools. The standard disc and footpad replacement parts should be just fine. Mark M.Pool and Spa Dealer (Nuco Pool and Spa in Clovis,NM)

I cannot say if there is a difference in parts, but I also have inground gunite pool. I purchased these and were nearly identical to the orginal foot pad on my G3. The biggest difference is these seemed to fit better.

the difference is one is literally vinyl and the other is a type of spray on concrete called gunite. I imagine there is a difference in the parts. I don't know if you would sibject a vinyl liner to the kind of vacuum generated by a G3 for fear of tearing or damaging the vinyl. G3 works great on gunite.

I think for playing pool the standard version would be fine. Or you could go with the HD version and set it to record in VGA (non HD mode) for longer record time. That way you would have the HD option available for other activities.

Basically the difference is that the 18" is going to be able to filter more. The size and location of your pool will determine how much filter you need. We live in the high desert of Los Angeles County. The wind blows all the time and we have trees from the city street behind us that overhang our property. There isn't a whole lot we can do about those elements so we needed a much bigger filter in order to keep our pool clean. Between sand , leaves, and other tree matter, the small filter that came with our pool just didnt keep it clean. On top of that, we have sun just about every day of the year so algae is another big reason we went with the bigger filter.

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

Attached is a brochure from the manufacturer describing two models - one for concrete and the other for vinyl. No mention of fiberglass but I assume the difference in the two has to do with the flexibility of the pool surface. We love our "little buddy". It works great on our concrete pool

What ever size you prefer really. Ive ran with both the 3" cylinders and the big 8" discs as long as you have a big enough pump it really isn't that noticeable.

It's discontinued by Jandy - PoolPlaza.com offers a replacement but I hear it's not as good. If you find one I'd like to know.

I am pretty sure this DVD is not any different from the one that came with your machine. You may wan to check out the level 3 DVDs that are made for the pilaties machine.

This model is for vinyl pools, but there is one for concrete pools as well. We love our little pool cleaner, it does a fantastic job, in less than 2 hours. Look for the concrete or gunite one, and you won't be sorry!

Yes, I have a vinyl lined pool and it works great. The granules melt very quickly and I never see any residue on the bottom of the pool. I prefer it to any other shock that I have tried and I have tried a lot of others.

No,I went to a pool supply store and got the proper grade of sand.home improvement stores and hardware stores have play sand.little more expensive but we'll worth it.

worked fine with my in ground vinyl lined pool. only problem I had was the width was different then the ladder I had. Needed to core drill new holes.

It can be used for either but you need to order the above ground model as it uses a different foot pad for vinyl.

As near as I can tell they are about the same. I have had no ware issues with either type, as long as they are kept clean of dirt and sand. hope this will help.

They are both sold by a pool company "MyPoolYard". The $209 version is heavier (36 lbs vs 22 lbs) and MAY have non-Hayward components. This is a murky area when dealing with filter grids. The $260 option weighs less (hence lower shipping). Best idea is to call My Pool Yard at 818-446-6855 and ask them the difference.
