When u find the answer to that question please post it because I would like to know. I have the vacumn in question and I think I may have figured out - the Only time it works- is when u install a brand new filter and it goes for about an hour after that it's over with- mostly it just moves the stuff - if u have algae u will need to manually get that up though because it will need a much more thorough job than a random pattern like these auto vacs do

I've not had any problems with this auto pool cleaner. It work's great! I have an above ground pool and I vacuum it every other day. I'm very pleased with it so far. Also my pool is not real smooth on the bottom. I have some wrinkles to and I had concerns after buying it. But no problems with it running on around on the bottom.

This is actually a cleaner with a little suction motor powered by the return water pressure. Mine didn't work well either. Save a lot of money and get better results by getting a simple vacuum head and vacuuming the algae to waste. That cleared my pool in a few minutes.

My pool floor is not a perfectly smooth floor so this unit did not work for me.

No. The vacuum will remove the dirt but will not take care of algae spores or rain related pH balances. You still need to check your Chlorine/Bromine levels and pH. A pool your size should only need little corrections with the appropriate chemicals.

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

It does a good job of picking up everything - my pool was dark green & in 3 weeks I had the water clear - The only things I did to it was shock , algaecide , run the Dolphin & backwash - The machine comes with 2 sets of filters - one is a finer filter to pick up much smaller particles - I used that one after picking up the bigger debris with the first one - So I would say yes , it does pick up dead algae -

I would like to know if you decided to buy one and which model you bought if you bought any. I want to buy a good deep cleaner but I can not decide which model to buy. Thank you in andvace for your response.

This is Steve at Aqua Products. Picking up dirt and debris is what this unit does best. It has a filter bag that can filter down to 2 microns so it also helps purify your pool water.

Get a Dyson animal, either the DC15 or DC17, you will not regret it. The reviews are actually quite good, 4.5 stars.

Sorry Mike, but in researching all vacuums, there are problems with them all. I cannot decide on one either by reading the reviews. I'm frustrated and wish a woman engineer would invent one so that all the negativity found in every brand would be solved.

When u say skimmer are you talking about a pole with a net on the end. My pool came with one and my friend also. Yes u need a skimmer and should use every day. If u don't get the surface dirt leaves. And bugs they sink and ate much harder to vacume. Job lot or Walmart sells them cheap. Ok

I have had both. You can read my reviews; five stars for Bissell and one for Hoover. Not only is the Hoover lower grade plastic, but it also has a computer which malfunctions after a number of uses. Bad design!

The sharkvac has to be taken out of the water after each use and the filters cleaned. Therefore it is not a vac that you leave in the pool.

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.

Once I realized it came with two micro filter bags I used one of these and it worked so much better at picking up algae and the smaller debris. Also, I recommend removing the wheels to clean small debris as it helps the suction area make contact better with the bottom of the pool! I am so, so happy with this vacuum!

It does vacuum the bottom of the pool well. Doesn't pick like leaves well. Not really go a lot to the sides. Still a good vacuum for our purpose.

I've had them both... My mistake was thinking I could run them every day all summer. I started noticing oil slicks on my water surface and found out the hard way that I was burning them up. The hybrid is more powerful and will clean a 15x30 pool in about an hour. The jr. Take longer and the cord tends to tangle after awhile. After each use you'll have to completely straighten before the next use, or you'll burn out the motor. You must leave in the pool for about an hour after cleaning to let the unit cool. Also make sure that if you have it on a timer, you'll need to make sure it's in the water. I liked them while they worked, but opted to start using the pool blaster max vacuum and it works great. Micro bags take out the mustard algae and cleans/charges easily. I hope this helps...
