Will the unit work under a floating pool cover?

This is Steve at Aqua Products. It may work, but at times the floating cable performance will be impaired so no we do not recommend it.

I LOVE my robot!!!!!!! I don't know the answer but, I don't know why not!!?? Good question and I must think about that!! I have just covered my pool because of the leaves & acorns. Good luck.

It works under both a solar, floating cover as well as a built in safety cover. Just make sure to feed it all of the line that it needs, and then cover it.

I never did that but I don't see why not. The unit always needs to be submerged when it is running so as long as it can freely roam around the bottom and sides of the pool it should be fine. I love this thing so much I named him Tony and I am never cleaning my pool myself again. Tony does it!

I will say "I think so." Mine works normally when my solar cover is on, and that floats on the pool surface. As long as the cable is placed over the side of the pool as always, and between the pool and any cover, it should roam around as normal and drag the cord with it. Hope this helps. Phil.

We have not installed ours yet, but everything I have read indicates yes. I also researched this product on the Confer Curve sites besides Amazon. We purchased this product for use in an oval above ground pool.

No, but you may be able to bury the unit if its kept in waterproof housing. Check out a boat battery protector

I currently use it with an Intex pool. I do not know if it can be used with an above ground pool.

Hi, This is Steve over at Aqua Products. The answer is yes as this unit has a 50 ft. cable. Remember the power supply must be at least 12 ft. from the pool edge. It's always best to you measure the distance from the furthest point of the pool to the power supply. I hope this helps... Note: Only place enough cable in the pool that is needed to help prevent tangling.

I don't have one of those but I do not see why it couldn't. The cable does floor o the surface of the pool. But I would think it would skim under the cover.

Yes, but do the math on the flow ratings to determine how long it will take. Also consider that the electrical cord is permanently connected and is only a certain length (check specs). You may not be able to place it on the bottom of the pool because the junction to the extension chord would be under water so you would have to lower the pump as the water line lowers. Make sense?

I hadn't thought about putting it under the pool. Since the cover uses the sun to eat it and then the heat transfers to the water, I would guess having it under the pool wouldn't work so well.

If you have a deck at least three feet around the above ground pool, then yes it would work.

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

Yes it will work just fine I'm using the one I have to recirculate my pool water through 500 feet of black hose as a home made water warmer upper, works better than those solar covers.

As long as there are no issues with water getting inside the unit it should work just fine...like under a roof overhang.

Yes it will. That's what I used it for along with a duplex receptacle at my pool equipment plateform.

I'm not sure if it will work in an above ground pool. However, on the vertical walls of our in ground pool, it climbs and does its work very, very well. It does an exceptional job on the bottom and we are very pleased with it.

I believe it should work for an inground pool. You will need to make sure you have the adapters to fit your filter system. This is only a guess.

It would probably work but I would be inclined to go with a solid state switch. They use a probe mounted vertically in the skimmer that would cut power to the pump in the event that the water goes below a certain level. It allows a lot more accuracy than the float type switch.

It will work, just not as well. The biggest robber of heat from your pool is actually the wind, not the outside temperature. So 4 feet of exposed area is not going to completely negate having the cover, but also not as good as it could be. Hope that helps.
