How is the pool robot pulled from the bottom of the pool? Do you have to pull it out by the power cord of fish it out with a net or what?

Hi, this is Steve from Aqua Products. To remove the unit from the water, gently pull the unit from the cable to the pool surface and then grab the unit by the handle - let drain and then pull from the water. Note: When possible it's always best to rinse the unit with fresh water after each use.

Carefully, by the Power cord till reach under surface, than grab it by hand.

I prefer to shut the power off when the rover is near the edge or wall. Gently pull the cord to lift the rover up to water surface. Do not pull out of the water by the cord. The unit has a built in handle to remove it from the water. The cord is sturdy enough the lift the unit while it is submerged but can damaged once it is handling the full weight of the unit without the buoyancy of water.

Don:I pull it by the power cord. But once a year I make sure that the cord is securely attached to the housing. I also tighten 4 screws for motor housing lightly to avoid the oil leak once a year. The first one leaked oil over time and killed the motor.

Just give a little tug on the cord, and it floats right up to the top, then just grab it by hand. The water buoys the weight of it, so you are not really pulling the entire weight by the cord.

Pulled out by the cord, no problem, Pool Rover works great, just don't rush him.

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 use a pool service and the solar fish is always in the pool and we have not had any problem. I don't know if the auto vac would be able to glide over the fish and vacuum it; remember the fish is lying flat at the bottom of the pool.

Yes I have same pool the pump that comes with pool is not that powerful to suck stuff off the bottom. Have to use a water hose to prime it also

We have three stairs in our pool. The robot stays on the flat bottom of the pool. It does not go up the stairs. I brush off the stairs before putting the robot to work and that seems to be OK.

Is it new? Is the line length sufficient? Is the tail line attached? The system seems to work on a pump that causes vacuum. This pump also propels it forward. There's a feature that causes it adjust positioning occasionally, so that it will reach the entire pool. What's it not doing properly?

Hi, this is Steve from Aqua Products. Our cleaners come ready to use. Just unpack, plug in, place in water and press a button. Yes, you will need an GFI outlet that is at least 12 ft. from the pool where the power supply will sit. Note: This unit works completely independent of your existing pool system and in fact your Aquabot may allow you to save on some of your systems usage hours, as it does help circulate the water and chemicals and it does help filter your waters impurities - less back washing too.

Yes, it will pick up leaves. However, depending on the amount of leaves you have in your pool you may have to clean out the robot's filter chamber more often. When my pool has a lot of leaves in it I usually use the garden hose leaf vacuum head to get the majority of the out first before running the unit. Over all I am very pleased with the bot's performance.

i dont know what you have right now but it has a hose attachment that screws onto the inside of the pool onto the pump suction port and you dont have to use it all of the time as you simply pull the hose off when you dont need or dont want to use it or you can leave it on all of the time...works great!

I am using it right now. I am using a brush to get everything loose and also using shock to get it started. Keep an eye on your generator to make sure that there is plenty of salt in your pool.

Hmm, mine had everything it needed. You need to completely unscrew the part in your pool. Sometimes the cover and ball shaped thing that adjusts direction come off but there is still a plastic screw part in the port. That also needs to come out, just as if you were going to plug the port. Could that be the problem?

There is a drain plug near the bottom of the pool. You hook a hose to it with a piece that came with the pool. It's a plastic white piece. Hope this helps, I have the same pool.

We lift our ladder out of the pool when we cover it. It can easily be cut. Easy to pull back onto pool but we use two people to make it easier. Otherwise you just walk around pool and adjust it. To keep in place, we tie rope crisscrossed over pool but I am looking into bungee cords.

You hook it up to the same place where you would attach the hose for vacuuming the pool manually, and you put the lid into the skimmer basket so that the vacuum will have suction, just like you would if you were vacuuming manually. Hope that helps.

You insert the hose into the bottom of the skimmer. But in order to get the air out of the hose, I hold it over the outlet from the filter/pump in the pool for a few moments.

Yes you run the pump as your normal schedule. It's not bad to take off, but without a reel you need two people to keep it orderly. But then what do you do with it? One friend of mine piles it up in layers at the end of his rather large indoor pool. Outside winds will catch it and blow it around once it's off the water. I found the reel a wonderful help.

First turn off pump. Then attach hose to cleaner and hold cleaner under water till the bubbles are released throught the side of the cleaner. Next submerge the cleaner and allow it to sink to the bottom of the pool. Hold the hose vertically and push it under water untill you reach the end of the hose. Water should start running out of the hose end. Now the hose should be pushed onto the suction outlet making sure to not raise the hose end above the pool suface. Now you can start the pump and after a short time the cleaner will start to move.
