This vacuum uses water pressure to clean the bottom. So I am not sure if it will remove algae. That being said I have been using it for a couple of months and do not have any algae issues. It has continuously removed various particles and debris from our pool bottom.

The Intex is a fairly decent pool vac, but it will only pick up loose dirt and debris, like any pool vac will. Get your chemical balance right and use a hard pool brush (no metal!) to loosen up the algae, then use the pool vac to clean it up. I did learn that the standard 1500 GPH pump does not have enough output power to make this pool vac move. You'll need the 2500 GPH pump (which runs about $85 here on Amazon) and a clean filter to make it run good. You'll also find that the 2500 GPH pump does a lot better job at filtering your pool water.

I suggest putting algicide and chlorine in your pool to kill whatever it is that growing. This pool cleaner picks up everything on the bottom. I have never had an algae problem so I can't say that it will clean it off your pool.

The algae needs to be DEAD to sweep it up with any vacuum. So either shock the pool, or get an algaecide. This vac will sweep the dead stuff up just fine.

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.

I don't know if you have an above ground, or in ground pool. We have an in ground pool, and it hooks up where our pool vacuum hooks up. Sorry if you have an above ground pool, I am not sure where you would use it. Try asking the company that makes it. We love ours, so hope you can find a way to use one. It can not be used for leaves and large stuff. But it removes any small, float on top of the water stuff.

I returned the SharkVac. It didn't do the job...did not climb the walls and did not do a great job cleaning the entire pool. I bought a Dolphin Premier and am happy with its performance. It has two rollers.

Mark, the Pool Rover Jr. is designed to vacuum, so all loose dirt and algae will be cleaned but if the algae is actively growing this unit does not have the capability to scrub like some of our more advanced cleaners.

I wouldn't recommend reducing the filter run time just because you used a pool cleaning robot. The Mirra 530 has coarse filters which do a nice job capturing leaves, sand, and grit that are sitting on the bottom of the pool. The pool filter for capturing fine particulates and algae that are already suspended in the pool water. So the Mirra 530 is nice to have, but just think of it as a substitute for vacuuming.

Its great for above ground pools. It does not hurt the liner. Living in AZ i get a lot of dust and have to clean the microfilter frequently or it slows the suction.

Hello Kezz. Thanks for you interest in our product. The Hayward Wanda The Whale® pool cleaners are designed to clean the bottom of all sizes and shapes of above ground and on-ground pools. This cleaner should not be used with Intex/inflatable/pop-up style pools.

We have a 24' diameter pool with straight sides. The vacuum only cleans the bottom of our pool. Hope this helps!

The system that came with the pool has held up well, but it is not strong enough to pull the vacuum system. I have an self propelled crawler for cleaning the bottom.

Right now using a self made connections. (pvc pipe coupler and a 1.5 D inch hose), remove hose to pump from pool and attach adapter and hose for cleaning - about $3.00 for adapter and hose was about $30.00 do the vacuum from with in pool with just the hose, don't really use a vacuum sorry if not much help.

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.

I can't respond to the specific brand of above ground pool - Intex - because we have a different brand of pool. Our pool is above ground, with rigid metal sides that are very sturdy - it was installed by a pool shop. The cleaner works very well in our pool.

You have to manually turn it on. You are instructed to remove it from the pool after each cleaning. I don't see why you'd need to vacuum the pool every day anyway.

I have the intex auto pool cleaner. It is amazing. Was shocked to see that it sucked up the fine Florida sugar sand from the bottom of my pool.

i have a 2500gph hour pump, i upgraded my pump to a bigger pump do to the pump it came with would not keep the pool clean. this vacuum works great cleaning up all the fine dirt that settles on the bottom of the pool.

I'm not exactly sure. It's much stronger than the one that comes with the pool, though. I personally use a home made vacuum i made :)
