Hi Rick, Is your Doughboy pool in-ground or above-ground? The Polaris 65 is a pressure side cleaner designed for a vinyl or fiberglass above ground pool. We have a similar model (Polaris 165) which is designed for in ground pools. You can find it here: http://www.polarispool.com/Pressure/Polaris-165.aspx If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our customer support team at (800) 822-7933 or productsupport@zodiac.com. Thank you! Julie Polaris

I have been using mine regularly for about a month now and I haven't had any problems out of mine. I love it. It does a great job cleaning our pool and it is 13 feet deep on deepest end. I would purchase again.

My pool has a top rail and it works with it. I had to unscrew and remove a section of top rail, then use the clamp mount on the light to clamp it on to the top edge of the pool. I was then able to put the top rail back on over the light clamp. I also had to cut away a small (2") section of reinforcement plastic from the underside of the top rail for it to fit over the clamp and be seated properly. If you have a Dremel, it's a very easy modification to underside of the top rail. Hope that helps! :-)

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.

My pool is 6' in the deep end. It does ok. My previous Aquabot functioned better however I paid allot more money for it. It's repair costs were prohibitive. This device has fewer parts and should hold up better. This device has a (1) hour setting and (3) hour setting. It will take longer to clean your pool so once it shuts off, turn the switch off and on and it will repeat itself. Good luck!

do you have a intex pool? if so you have to cut the bottom piece off and slide the 1/4/ inch pipe into you return on the pool use a clamp to hold it in place

Insofar as I know, it will go as deep as its shaft plus an extender added to it. If you add enough extenders you may get some run out (i.e., the bit straying off course). I can't say that I have had occasion to try it.

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

Has anyone considered screwing each end down to a piece of 2x6 which could then be clamped to the pool rail?

it will depend on what type of vacuum set up your pool has? My pool is a doughboy, the lid of the skimmer is taken off and placed inside my skimmer when I vacuum, the connection for my vacuum hose is on the inside of the pool at the bottom of the skimmer, I had to buy an adapter for this set up. The other vacuum set up is most common, the round piece that has the vacuum connection on the top, this style is placed in the skimmer as well but the hose is not connected inside the pool. My neighbor had this set up and the swim time vacuum hose fit perfectly on it. Hope this helps

The unibridge worked great in our pool. Had to work it a little bit to get it perfectly centered. Have a Dirt Devil pool cleaner. Was constantly pulling it of the drain covers, never gets stuck now. Definatly worth the price.

I have 1-1/2 pipe outlets on 4 sides of my inground pool and they worked perfectly- they screwed right in. Also, the 1" opening is perfect for a decent size pump (I have a 2HP pump).

Not sure. Because each inside of the light has a magnet. So it has too make contact. One piece goes in the pool and one on the outside the pool. It douse illuminate the pool well. Better than other pool light I've had. I had doughboy before & used the hang over rail type. Costed twice as much as this one. I guess you would have try it. Good luck

I can't give you a definitive answer, but I can say that my Aquabot Pool Rover Hybrid works great on my above ground pool whiich a deep end. My deep end is bowl shaped with a steep incline and my Rover has no problem climbing in and out of it. I believe the Rover should work quit well on an in-ground pool. However, my Rover does not climb up the side walls. The brochure says I could add the additional floaters that came with it to make it climb the walls, but I've never tried it. Good Luck!

I haven't heard about a riser for a skimmer for a ground pool, Maybe check with a pool man in your area and probably a riser for a regular in ground pool skimmer will work
