will this work on above ground pools with vinyl liners and is the bag included that leaves go in ?

I don't think it's designed for vinyl pools as it's fairly rigid plastic. There is no bag, just what shown in the photo.

Yes it works fine in our above ground pool . In fact it works really well catches a lot more of the small stuff as well.

I believe it is intended for vinyl pools. That's what we have. It does a great job.

The area where the debris gets collected and stored is not very large and I have found that large leaves tend to get stuck in the intake slot. My pool doesn't get a lot of leaves, mainly smaller junk like redwood needles, so it's not a huge issue for me. They do sell special "clean up" filters that work a bit better when you have more leaves, but those are only for occasional use.

I have it for an above ground pool. I could see that it would work for in-ground pools too. I love it. This rover is excellent and cleans the pool well. If mine ever tore up, I would order the same one, honestly. I have had no problems. I love it.

No, but the bottom part of the outer ring is formed to act as if a squeegee, bent down so when the rake is on the bottom of the pool leaves and other items will be encouraged to enter the net. I have used it for that purpose and found it works fine, understanding leaves sometimes have a mind of their own. I think a rubber squeegee would eventually be weakened by the chlorine and sun, and could also begin to detach itself from the rake. Also this rake's outer ring is make of smooth plastic, the bend gradual at the corners so it won't damage a pool's liner when dragged on the pool's bottom. Of course I would never put too much pressure on any item that is pulled along a liner, if that is what you have. I have owned rakes with stiffer netting, but they seem to rot too quickly from the sun and chlorine water with my only having a four month season. This rake's neting material is very soft and seems more durable. As with any rake, you don't want to continue to pull in a lot of leaves without dumping them out and then collecting more. It puts too much weight on the bottom of the net, keeping it from freely trailing the rake when making quick turns. I hope that helps. I own two. One for the pole and one when in the pool, which sits next to the edge for quick access when finding bugs or spiders, spiders seeming to enjoy the water more than I do.

I would say not. This unit does great with leaves and debris that has made it to the bottom of the pool. It has a bagger that is swept around the pool scooping stuff into it. The mess on the bag is fine and it traps a lot of stuff that you don't even realize is in the pool.

Works well in our pool. We don't have any wrinkles on the bottom, but it uses water squirting from the Polaris to force loose debris into the attached bag. Great for leaves, hair, insects, etc. It will not lift or scrub any mold or algae from the pool.

I use it on my vinyl lined pool. The wheels on this are hard, clear plastic and they go over the liner just fine. Best vacuum I've owned. I highly recommend it!

A solar cover is the wrong way to stop leaves, because it sits on the water, below the pool edge, creating a leaf trap. Plus, when it rains, the leaves will get washed under the cover. Buy a Loop Loc cover which stretches across the top.

Don't know, but it's heavy. Once you have to grab the handle, I find that I have to roll the wheels over the edge of the pool. That might mar your liner. Do you have tiles above your liner and/or edging that protrudes over edge of pool, that might keep the vac away from the liner. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I can't say but it is tough enough for concrete gunnite plaster pools like mine, so it should work fine on a vinyl liner pool.

My pool is in ground. I think the description may be a typo. I doubt any above ground pool would include such a sophisticated filtering system.
2224268
yes, but it is not worth buying unless you are using it to keep out leaves. If it rains everything in the cover will get into your pool. Also the tie down system is not very good. I would not recommend this item at all. It is worthless.

Yes this tool can be used with an above ground pool. However, most above ground pools are round. If that is the case for the one you own, you may have issues getting sand and debris from near the edges of the pool. Using this tool in conjunction with a triangular shaped brush such as this one Blue Devil B5603C See-Thru Vinyl Carded Vacuum, 3-Pound would be more effective. Or just opt for a triangular vacuum head by itself.

A garden hose is essential for this device to work. The water rushing through the nozzle and out through the hose or screen creates a venturi, a vacuum, that pulls the leaves and debris out with it. It also carries out some of the water that is in the pool or pond. An earlier post warns that you need high water pressure in your hose to create a strong venturi/vacuum. My pond is shallow, only 6" so this system didn't work for me. The filter bag has to be submerged or else the water just comes squirting all over the place.

I thing the answer is no. It uses the water pressure from the garden hose attached to is to force leaves and debris upward to be captured in the net bag attached to the center ring. Algae, dirt and the like would most likely be smaller than the mess in the net. It would get it off the bottom but since it does not do a "vacuum" function this stuff would just settle back to the bottom.
